Elizabeth Olsen confesses that Marvel affected her film career: ‘There is no longevity in just one character’

Elizabeth Olsen confessed that he is looking for more varied roles, after years of playing the Scarlet Witch in Marvel films and the series WandaVision. “I’m trying to figure it out… Because, especially in the last four years, I’ve been focused on Marvel,” said the actress in an interview with The Times of London (via Variety)conducted before the Hollywood actors’ strike.

“It’s not that I don’t want to be associated with this character. But I really feel like I need to build on other roles for balance. I want to do movies so badly right now. […] I just need other characters in my life. There’s no longevity in just one character,” she added.

Although she has played other characters on film over the years as a superhero, olsen believes that the Covid-19 pandemic and obligations to Marvel affected the diversity of roles she played. “Savage Land (2017) It is Ingrid Goes West (2017) they were movies I was very proud of and they are so different from each other. You can’t compare them,” she said. “So I just want more of that in my life, because I’m satisfied with the variation.”

In June, elizabeth had already spoken about it. A Varietyon the Serie Actors on Actorsthe actress was asked by Meghan Fahy if she missed the Scarlet Witch. Olsen was blunt: “No, I’m not.”

“I think it’s been almost ten years since I’ve played her. And I’ve loved it. I think the reason I don’t call her every day is Kevin Feige with ideas is why I’m so proud of what we’ve managed to do. I think that WandaVision It was an amazing opportunity.”
