Yeah its sad. I just read about the accident like a few weeks ago when I went to Wikipedia to see his discography.
So if Quicksilver has an instagram account today and he was 15-ish in 1973, he's currently alive and in his 50's ??? :S

Not really, thats just one of the viral campaign from Fox.
Were there any big surprises on your end with regards to how audiences responded to the film? I know Quicksilver was kind of the butt of a joke leading up to the release when people were just looking at out-of-context promo images and stuff, but then he ends up stealing the movie. Were you always pretty confident audiences would feel differently about the character once they saw him in the context of the film?
SIMON KINBERG: Well I was confident from when we showed it to audiences well before it was released. We showed it to friends and family at a few screenings, and I could tell from just those initial screenings of the response in the room, in the moment, to that Quicksilver sequence that it was special. Certainly you never know until a movie comes out if people are gonna embrace it or reject it no matter how big the title—sometimes that’s an even bigger challenge—so I was as nervous as I’ve ever been with that movie coming out. But the critical response, the fan response, the mainstream response, I’m very happy with the way people embraced the film. For the Quicksilver sequence, from the first time that Bryan really conceived it and described it, I thought it had the chance to be something really special and memorable.
The sequence that it most reminded me of in the conceptual stages was the opening sequence of X2 with Nightcrawler, which to me is still one of the great action sequences certainly in superhero movies but maybe any movie, so we were responding to that. One of the tricky things about making these movies is there’s so many visual effects that you don’t really know what you have until very late in the process, because you’re watching a lot of people walking around in funny suits and blue screen/green screen backgrounds, so there was a lot of discovery in post on the movie where it all comes together as it becomes real, in front of you, when you’re not watching just a white backdrop. Suddenly you have the White House in the background of frame and you have robots flying into the sky where before you just had little tracking shots. All of that is a discovery as you go.
Could you imagine a show with the OT cast?
