Elizabeth Olsen and the character of Wanda Maximoff aka The Scarlet Witch, has become the darling of the Marvel cinematic universe, thanks to Disney+ show WandaVision.
She’s been in six Marvel properties so far (Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) but in her interview with The Independent, the actress reveals she didn’t think she would make it this far. “I only signed on to do a couple movies, so it continues to be a surprise when they want to use me for more projects,” she says, adding: “I’ve been confused by how lucky I got with them wanting to make WandaVision.”Prior to Multiverse of Madness, Olsen was used to working on ensemble projects, and working solo on WandaVision, Disney’s first television show, made her nervous. “When we were doing press for WandaVision, I was mortified because it was the first show from the Marvel universe.
There was this total fear, and now I have this pressure all over again connecting to Doctor Strange. I just didn’t have it as part of those ensemble films.” Olsen admits that this even extends to viewing the end product. “I’ll see it eventually,” she says.I wonder what somebody in her position feels about the criticism directed Marvel’s way in recent years.
