Elizabeth Olsen Credits Scarlett Johansson For Teaching Her To Be A Superhero
The Wanda Maximoff character has been part of MCU for eight years. Elizabeth made her debut in Avengers: Age Of Ultron. The cast of Doctor Strange 2 has been on a promotional tour. At the premiere of the film, Elizabeth talked to Variety about the film, and most importantly about Scarlett Johansson, who plays Black Widow in MCU.
Talking about her influence, Olsen said, “I remember being on ’Ultron’ and seeing how she was with the crew,” Olsen shared. “I was just amazed by her ease and her comfort and how she includes the crew in everything, and how she makes everyone part of the team and feel excited to come to work. And I’ve really taken that into my life since then.”
Olsen Has Taken Up The Role Of A Mentor Now
America Chavez is a new character who will be introduced with Doctor Strange 2. Xochitl Gomez will be playing the character of the first Latin Lesbian superhero. A woman supporting another woman! Elizabeth was all praises for the new addition to the Marvel family. While praising Xochitl, she said, “She has such a vitality to her, she has so much confidence being so young. She has so much confidence being so young. I was 25 when I started, and she’s way better off than I was when I started.”
While reminiscing the old times and how tables have turned, Elizabeth said that it’s a little “shocking” to now be in the position of a mentor, but “it’s amazing that we’ve gone through [iterations of the MCU] and it’s been this long, that now we have these different ages of women.” WandaVision actress also talked about how she will never judge Wanda for her actions.
Adding to it, she also talked about what she brought to the table while playing the character. She said, “I remember people saying at the end of Wandavision, ‘She has no accountability!’ She’s gonna take accountability for herself, she’s gonna isolate, she’s gonna think about it, and she’s gonna grow. Getting to do ‘Wandavision’ and then coming into this film, my priority was, how do we continue the thread, but how do we also make it different?”
She further added, “How is there an evolution, how can we keep it exciting for the fans? And how can we ground her and show them something they haven’t seen yet? And I’m really looking forward to the fan response after this film. I think everyone’s in for a ride.”
