When Elizabeth Olsen shared her thoughts on her role in the MCU
Elizabeth Olsen’s journey in the MCU had been nothing short of extraordinary. From her first appearance as Wanda Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron to her critically acclaimed starring role in the Disney+ series WandaVision, her portrayal captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. So, when whispers circulated about her sudden removal from a Marvel project without a clear explanation, speculation naturally arose about the direction her character might take.
Olsen’s approach was pleasantly practical and open to possibilities. While she showed enthusiasm for returning as Wanda, she was straightforward about not having received any direct updates from Marvel regarding upcoming ventures. “I’m down for anything as long as there’s a good idea attached to it,” she confirmed in an interview with The Independent, keeping the door wide open for future collaborations.
Her comments suggested that she was ready to explore new horizons within the MCU, even if it meant stepping away from the traditional format of standalone films and diving into another television series. A second standalone series centered on Wanda Maximoff? Count her in.
