Elizabeth Olsen’s Exciting Return
Elizabeth Olsen, the actress who portrays Wanda Maximoff or the Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently shared her thoughts on the blockbuster Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This film kicks off the summer movie season of 2022, occurring after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home and marking her seventh time playing this powerful witch.
A Turning Point in the MCU
Olsen expressed, “I’m really excited for everyone to see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This film marks a major turning point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Familiar characters will embark on new journeys, and many new characters will also emerge.” This not only promises intriguing developments but also creates new opportunities for characters in the MCU.
The Connection Between Two Works
When asked about her feelings after finishing WandaVision and immediately joining Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Elizabeth said, “I love that. WandaVision gave me the chance to dive deeper into the character, and stepping into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, I wanted to showcase a connection between the two works.”
Memorable Experiences
The actress also shared her favorite scenes: “Wanda has the ability to fly, and I really enjoyed that experience on set. I was harnessed for the stunts, and it felt amazing to actually be flying!”
Multiverse and the “What If” Scenarios
Elizabeth spoke about the multiverse concept explored in the film: “The interesting thing is that every decision we make in the past has led us to this moment. When watching this movie, audiences will have the chance to reflect on the ‘what ifs’ in life.”
Memories of Her First Days as Wanda
Recalling her early days in the role of Wanda, she said: “I was really scared when I started filming Avengers: Age of Ultron. The first scene was a big battle, and the special effects were truly impressive.”
Cherished Memories
Even though she has become an integral part of the MCU, Elizabeth Olsen still remembers her memorable audition experiences: “I don’t hesitate to audition. One of the most unforgettable experiences was auditioning for Game of Thrones, which I think was one of my worst auditions.”
Elizabeth Olsen not only brings a powerful Scarlet Witch to life but also conveys genuine emotions through her performances. With Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, she has opened a new chapter for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, leaving audiences eager for the surprises to come.
