But who says all the characters get substantial screen time? We're looking at two groups of mutants in two different time periods, there's going to be quite a few secondary characters. Not every character is going to have a backstory/love interest/ heroic moment/ whatever. My guess is most of them are just "there", and they're pimping guys like Quicksilver because he's a popular character. Think about First Class and what we really found out about Havok, Beast, Banshee, all the other villains. All they really need to do is show them and explain what they do.
