Elizabeth Olsen on pressure to “prove” the personal film Taste post Marvel

Elizabeth Olsen revealed that her taste for personal film does not necessarily align with the projects in which she played, namely Marvel Films.

The actress, who played Wanda Maximoff, alias the Scarlet Witch, in the Marvel cinematographic universe over a decade, recently shared on NPR‘s Wild Card with Rachel Martin Podcast that she feels pressure to “prove” her creative taste for the content she consumes.

“I think I have not always managed to make choices in my work that is aligned with my personal taste and it is something that I have the impression of trying to prove when I meet people,” said Olsen. “Especially if it is a work -type meeting and to be able to express my personal taste in films, literature, and therefore I always think that I have that to prove.”

THE Love and death Star continued: “Because I spent so many years Marvel that I have the impression that all the other jobs I have to do must really reflect my personal taste, because as much as I like to be part of this world – and I am proud of what I could do with the character – it is not really the art that I consume. of which I was very honest. ”

Olsen made his debut for the first time his scarlet witch character in 2015 Avengers: Age of Ultron Before continuing to appear in several other Marvel films, including Avengers: War Infinity (2018), Avengers: end of game (2019) and Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness (2022). She also marked an EMMY nomination for the best actress in a limited anthology series or film or for her performance in the Disney + series Wandavision (2021).

Olsen then reiterated that she was still extremely proud of her work with Marvel, although he preferred to watch movies outside the genre of superheroes.

“I thought it was so big stories on the Greek type which reflected politics, culture in a really beautiful way”, ” Evaluation said the actress. “And so I really felt proud to jump into it. And then, in the past 10 years, it has taken this story in the same way, it’s like a hot catch, that an actor says he would never make a Marvel film or not.”

Although Olsen shared last year that she was open to return as a scarlet witch “when there is a way to use it well,” she said The Hollywood Reporter In March, she will not be one of the next two Russo brothers Avengers movies, Judgment Day And Secret wars.
