Elizabeth Olsen has opened up about the difficulties of filming the brutal scene of the murder with an ax in her true-crime series, ‘Love & Death’ (‘Love and death’).

The new HBO series follows Olsen as Texan housewife Candy Montgomery, who in 1980 was accused of murdering her friend Betty Gore. The ‘American Horror Story’ star Lily Rabe, is in charge of getting into Betty’s skin.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood ReporterOlsen commented on how difficult it had been for him to shoot that crucial scene, which takes place throughout episodes four and five.

“At the time, Lily was six months pregnant. It was horrible. I had a double, and they could also erase [su barriga] in post production, but hey… She was wearing a little shirt with a six month old belly underneath. She was crazy. And still, she really wanted to do it allOlson said.

“Lily is physically very strong, so there was a lot of tension. On the one hand, I felt safe because we had choreography, but there was also a part of me that didn’t want to do it at all. It was a lot of things.”

After this, he continued explaining: “My experience in other fight sequences did not involve melee. So sometimes I was a little scared. Also, there were times when Lily asked me to make contact with her body with the rubber hatchet. I couldn’t, she was like, ‘You’re going to have to do this with my stunt double.

Last year, Olsen brought the Scarlet Witch back to life in Marvel’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” From the looks of it, her character dies at the end of the movie. However, thanks to the various Marvel universes, she could return in the future.

Olsen recently commented that if she came back, she would like Wanda Maximoff to have a much better sense of humor.

“Now we can do anything with it! I think we have done a lot. Now we can have real fun; I think there’s a lot more humor to get him out of it. It’s often the emotional part of the story and I’m curious to see what else we can explore. I hope we can give him some kind of redemption,” Olsen said.

‘Love & Death’ is available on streaming in the HBO Max series catalog.
