I think it’s been almost 10 years of playing her. And I’ve loved it.

The ‘WandaVision’ actress added, “If someone were to tell me that I’m fired from Marvel movies, I will feel proud of what we made. And I really am just trying to figure out how to load up other films and characters so it becomes less about the Marvel of it all.”
