Elizabeth Olsen bored by the MCU? She talks about her frustration

Catapulted into the MCU in 2014’s Avengers: Age of Ultron as Wanda Maximoff, actress Elizabeth Olsen is arguably one of the best parts of Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It is true that for 8 years, his character was under-exploited and obviously deceptive when we know his potential in comic books. But 2022 finally marks the year when we will be able to reconsider our view of the Scarlet Witch, especially since she swallowed the Darkhold at the end of WandaVision. On promotion all over the world for several weeks, she confided in the New York Times about his involvement with Marvel and the contract constraints once one decides to join the MCU superhero family. If she is delighted to have become the Scarlet Witch, she can not help but remember that she had to refuse certain roles, including one in particular in the film The Lobster by Yorgos Lanthimoswho walked away with the jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015.

I started to get frustrated. I had job security with Marvel, but I was losing roles that were more suited to me. And the more I moved away from it, the less I was considered. Losing that role to The Lobster was heartbreaking. I was contractually bound to Marvel and I couldn’t get rid of it. So it didn’t work.

Should we see a certain form of weariness of the MCU? No doubt, especially if the 33-year-old actress starts talking about it publicly, and given the (pseudo) fate reserved for her character, it could be a valid exit for her to leave the MCU. However, when asked if she’s willing to take on more movies as Wanda, she says she would, as long as it’s a good story with a strong point of view. , and not be present to build a trilogy. After Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans and Scarlet Johansson, is Elizabeth Olsen the next to want to leave the MCU? It’s up to Kevin Feige to retain his best elements with real good stories…
