Then he goes smashing through [The White House] with his and Magneto goes, ‘Who the fuck are you?’”
The final Singer take was, concedes Vaughn with a grin, “the best scene in the movie” as Quicksilver balletically negotiates the cream of the President’s security detachment. “I would have made the movie worse,” he laughs. “The Quicksilver one was better.”
