During a conversation at Vulture Festival Saturday, Elizabeth Olsen revealed the reason she stays with Marvel.
“I’d never really had the mentality of ‘one for them, one for me,'” the actress explained. “Marvel has been such a consistent thing I’ve been able to return to and has created — what’s the word? — some feeling of insurance in my life that has given me freedom to choose other jobs. So I haven’t felt like, ‘And then I’ll do this to do this.'”
Earlier this year, Olsen said she was open to playing Wanda Maximoff again if the right project came up. She said, “It’s a character that I love going back to when there’s a way to use her well, and I think I have been lucky that when I started I was used well. I think people didn’t know what to do with me for a second there … if there’s a good way to use her I’m always happy to come back.”
Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff first appeared in 2015’s ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ and stayed with the team until Vision’s death in ‘Avengers: Endgame.’ After her supposed death in 2022’s ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ fans speculated about her return. Olsen also recently talked about it at a convention.
“Well, honestly, if I were to tell you exactly what I would want, I think I would maybe be spoiling something,” the actress hinted when asked about her thoughts on Wanda’s future storylines. “Kevin Feige genuinely asks us what we want to do with the character, and then he does it. So, I don’t know if I can share… I just want to come back.”
Scarlet Witch last appeared in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ as the villain. Controlled by the Darkhold, she endangered the Multiverse to be with her children but later sacrificed herself to destroy the book.
The Emmy nominee recently appeared in the sci-fi thriller ‘The Assessment,’ which premiered at TIFF in September and was later picked up by Prime Video for international release.
