Regardless of consensus about the current state of MCU, the studio took a big creative swing with ‘WandaVision.’ The show expands upon the grief of Scarlett Witch (played by Elizabeth Olsen) as she tries to come to terms with Vision’s death. The show’s sitcom route seemed unusual initially, but it unfolded into a more complex story.
Elizabeth Olsen got to portray Scarlett Witch in more MCU movies. However, her work in ‘WandaVision’ is the best portrayal of the character. But long before the praise, there was a seed of doubt in her mind that said the show wouldn’t work. It was a sentiment also shared by her co-star Paul Bettany at the time.
