Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, looking sadly into the distance in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'
Elizabeth Olsen, beloved by Marvel fans for her portrayal of Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, recently opened up about her time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and whether she'd return to the role. Speaking with FM104, Olsen reflected on her experience playing Scarlet Witch, from her introduction in Avengers: Age of Ultron to the hit Disney+ series WandaVision.
Wanda’s Journey in the MCU Olsen first stepped into Wanda Maximoff's shoes in 2015, appearing as a secondary character in Avengers: Age of Ultron. As the MCU evolved, so did Wanda, returning in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Her star turn came in 2021's WandaVision, which was Marvel's first TV series on Disney+.
However, in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda was depicted in a radically different light. Desperate to reunite with the children she had lost in her fantasy world, she became the primary antagonist, using her powers to tear through the multiverse. Fans and critics alike noticed the sharp contrast in Wanda's characterisation from WandaVision to Multiverse of Madness, with some arguing the latter undid much of the nuanced storytelling from the series.
Despite some frustrations, Olsen remains open to reprising her role as Scarlet Witch, but only if the character's return is handled thoughtfully. For now, fans can catch Olsen in her upcoming film His Three Daughters, set for a limited theatrical release on September 6, before landing on Netflix on September 20.
