While promoting the HBO Max series Love and Death, the actor talked about his role in the Marvel movies and series and said that he didn’t understand why the team asked him to do his own stunts when his lines are so much better than his.
“We’re so technologically advanced in these movies! But they decided to use me for all the stunts. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. I did not understand. I haven’t done them all, but I’ve done most of them, which is a waste of everyone’s time, because my studies do it better.”
It’s a waste of everyone’s time.
To illustrate her point, Elizabeth Olsen used the example of a stunt for the Sam Raimi film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, in which she had to drop from 10 meters and land in a certain way.
“I couldn’t, I was going down like Peter Pan and I was like ‘But use my double and that’s it!’ It’s so funny. We have a stunt double for some reason, they keep changing faces, why not there. But they used a stunt and in the movie I land and I I look like Peter Pan!”
The forgotten cousins of the Marvel Universe
If the actor seems tired of doing his stunts, that’s not the case for Paul Bettany, his on-screen partner in the WandaVision series. The 34-year-old actor reveals that the Vision translator finds their series boring compared to other Disney + shows that focus on different Avengers.

He explains: “Paul called us “the forgotten cousins of the Marvel Universe.” He felt we were boring cousins that people put in a corner. I mean, Anthony Mack and Sebastian Stan Traveled all over the world and blew it all up The Falcon and the Winter SoldierWhen Paul and I were doing theater in a corner.”
