While he's not officially signed on the dotted line yet that did not stop him from talking with Total Film about the role and what he hopes to accomplish in the suit.
"There's over fifty years of backstory on him all there to use, and I like doing that. Him and his sister [Scarlet Witch ] have been abandoned by their parents and their father, and they grew up in Eastern Europe defending and looking out for themselves and each other. His sister really is his guidance - emotionally she's the one who looks after him, and vice versa. He's very overprotective physically - he doesn't want anyone touching her. He has real anger frustration - I like that. I always thought it'd be quite funny if you saw him eating loads and people asked him why and he'd explain it's because he's burning so much energy all the time. Or ideas that you'd see him come back round - but he's already nipped out and got his lunch somewhere else. He just got bored - his attention span is so quick."
Johnson adds that he would give an "out there" performance--thus that's the main reason that he still unsigned- the details are being worked out right now:
"That's what we're in talks about really, right now - how I could become that character and not feel forced. I might not look right with white hair, and the accent may be wrong... it just doesn't work like that."
Meantime speaking of The Scarlet Witch, Joss told Superhero Hype recently that she will have to undergo a bit of a make-over to work in a live action film:
"Obviously we want to echo the look that people know, but there’s the classic look and the Ultimates look, but you have to do it in a way that will work. But it can’t be too old school… she can’t wear a leotard."
