Elizabeth Olsen Says Marvel ‘Didn’t Know What to Do With’ Scarlet Witch ‘For a Second There’ and She’ll Return Only ‘If There’s a Way to Use Her Well’


Elizabeth Olsen says she would play Scarlet Witch again but only if Marvel used her well.

The actor hasn’t been seen in the MCU since 2022’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which turned Wanda into a full blown villain and ended with the character crushed under a collapsed building. In interviews following the release of the “Doctor Strange” sequel, Olsen did not hide the fact that she was surprised Marvel took Scarlet Witch in such a villainous direction. The Emmy nominee said she struggled with the jump from “WandaVision,” the Disney+ series where Scarlet Witch became a more vulnerable and fully-fleshed out character, to “Multiverse of Madness,” where she went full villain.
