Elizabeth Olsen Says The Scarlet Witch's Story In AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Is Her "Favorite Character Arc"
In a recent interview Elizabeth Olsen opened up about how her experience in the MCU has changed over the years and how the Scarlet Witch's arc in Infinity War is her favorite so far. Hit the jump for more.
In ten days, Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War will be arriving in theaters in the U.S., and not only will the movie begin the culmination of ten years’ worth of stories, it will also mark Elizabeth Olsen’s fourth appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the Scarlet Witch.
Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff first appeared in a post-credit scene attached to Captain America: The Winter Solider, and since then the character has played a rather significant role in the MCU. In Captain America: Civil War, the Scarlet Witch's actions served as a catalyst for the implementation of the Accords, and her relationship with the synthezoid Vision seems to play a large role in Infinity War.
And just as the character’s role has changed, so has Elizabeth Olsen’s on-set experience and her opinion on Wanda’s various arcs. In fact, the actress calls her character's arc in the upcoming Avengers film her favorite.
“This is my favourite arc, my favourite character arc. Ultron was really fun because I got to be with Aaron [Taylor-Johnson] and that was also a large story, and twist, but now I feel more confident and comfortable on set.”
The actress went on to further explain that she “was not comfortable” during the filming of Age of Ultron, but after so much time in the MCU she’s found that “there’s an ease to it now that we’ve lived with these characters a little more.”
Finally, the Olsen said the filming Infinity War was unlike "any other film" she's done, because she and her fellow actors were "aware of how enormous it was the whole time." Considering the enormous cast and the massive amount of excitement surrounding the film, it's hard to image Olsen or any other member of the cast wouldn't be aware of the project's grand size.
