Elizabeth Olsen Says Marvel "Didn't Know What to Do With" Scarlet Witch

Elizabeth Olsen first portrayed Wanda maximoff or Scarlet witch in 2015's Age of Ultron as the Marvel Cinematic Universe evolved so did Wanda appearing in Captain America Civil War Infinity war and Avengers endgame her character took center stage in Wanda Vision Marvel's first Disney plus series which explored her grief and powers in a unique sitcom inspired reality despite Wanda vision's success Marvel seemed uncertain about Scarlet Witch's Direction afterward Olsen noted I think people didn't know what to do with me for a second there in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Wanda's character took a sharp turn becoming the antagonist this shift contrasted with her nuanced portrayal in Wanda Vision leaving fans and olssen questioning the character's development Olsen expressed concerns about the lack of communication between W Division and Multiverse of Madness writers leading to a similar Arc across both projects despite frustrations she remains open to reprising her role if Scarlet Witch's return is handled thoughtfully it's a character that I love going back to when there's a way to use her well said Olsen fans can next see her in his three daughters [Music]
