Avengers: Age of Ultron star Elizabeth Olsen has had a connection with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). She has played the role of Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch, in several MCU films and television series.
The actress recently revealed that she is not a consumer of Marvel films. She told the Wild Card podcast host, Rachel Martin:
“I think I haven’t always successfully made choices in my work that are aligned with my personal taste and that is something I feel like I’m still trying to prove when I meet people. Especially if it’s a work type meeting and be able to express my personal taste in films and literature, and so I still think I have that to prove.”
So let's explore further what she said about her personal and professional choices.
Avengers: Age of Ultron star Elizabeth Olsen does not want Marvel films
Avengers: Age of Ultron star, Elizabeth Olsen, revealed that she does not watch Marvel films and said that her work doesn't really align with her personal taste. She stated:
“Because I have spent so many years doing Marvel that I feel like all the other jobs I have to do have to really reflect my personal taste because as much as I love being a part of this world — and I’m proud of what I’ve been able to do with the character — it’s not really the art that I consume. Which I have been very honest about.”
In her words, Olsen stated her reason for becoming a part of Avengers: Age of Ultron and other MCU films because the actress:
“Thought they were such great Greek-type scale stories that reflected politics, culture in a really lovely way. And so I felt really proud to jump into it. And then, within the last 10 years, it’s taken on this narrative of like, it’s like a hot take, whether an actor says they want to, they would never do a Marvel movie or not.”
Olsen has portrayed the role of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Civil War, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Infinity War, Endgame, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Other than MCU, the actress has also starred in films like His Three Daughters, Wind River, Godzilla, and more.
