Quicksilver's potential return to the MCU could see him reappear as a secret villain for WandaVision, instead of an expected ally. Many fans have likely already forgotten about Quicksilver even appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as he appeared briefly as one of the two secondary villains of Avengers: Age of Ultron, alongside his sister, Scarlet Witch. Though his sister would survive the film and become a significantly more important character as an MCU hero, Pietro wasn't so lucky, as he would end up sacrificing himself in order to save Wanda and Hawkeye towards the end of the film.
But speculation surrounding WandaVision suggests Quicksilver could also be making a return to the MCU. In fact, Quicksilver's return in WandaVision has been greatly supported by the reveal of lines in some audition tapes — specifically, lines that have one of Scarlet Witch's children refer to an uncle. This suggests that Wanda has brought not only Vision back from the dead, but also potentially her brother, in line with the "perfect life" the show appears to show her trying to build for herself with her powers.
Since Vision appears to not remember his death or the events leading up to them, it stands to reason that Quicksilver will be in the exact same boat. The only difference is, the sibling duo hadn't long escaped their HYDRA brainwashing and alliance with the villain Ultron before Quicksilver's MCU death — so, were he to return without the memories preceding his death in Avengers: Age of Ultron, there's a good chance this turn to heroism would be removed from his memory.
While Wanda's "perfect reality" does seem to have placed everyone in a retro suburban lifestyle, this is actually only more likely to cause Quicksilver to have a full-scale villainous breakdown when he remembers the fragments he does of their life before this strange sitcom's creation. It would have been one thing to explain to Pietro that the pair had turned to ally with the Avengers they were taught to detest, but it's another entirely to explain that the man died and thus was brought back by his grieving sister into a surreal alternate dimension of her design. In fact, it seems decidedly unlikely that Marvel's speedster will accept the world of WandaVision as anything but his sister being brainwashed or controlled by Vision or some other unknown enemy force, and thus decide to "help" her by attempting to free them from the reality they are in.
With all of the current focus on Wandavision being in relation to how Wanda and Vision are in this new reality — and indeed if they will both come back out of it unscathed to return to the main MCU — this could potentially come as a surprise gut punch, as such little time was dedicated to seeing Wanda grieving over Quicksilver that many will have forgotten about the latter character altogether.
