Elizabeth Olsen Wants Redemption & Humor For Scarlet Witch In The MCU
Elizabeth Olsen wants to see Scarlet Witch redeemed after the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as much as the fans do, with a little humor in the mix for good measure. Since her MCU debut in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Olsen's interpretation of Wanda Maximoff has garnered widespread acclaim, with her miniseries WandaVision even kicking off the franchise's DIsney+ repertoire. But Doctor Strange 2's decision to turn her from wounded antihero to villain has been highly divisive, leaving many wondering if it's the last they'll see of the beloved character/
While promoting her new HBO Max series Love & Death at SXSW, Olsen shared her take on Wanda Maximoff's current place in the MCU. Having previously teased that Scarlet Witch will be back in Agatha: Coven of Chaos, the question remains what version of Wanda will next appear, and in what direction the Marvel creatives will take her storyline. Here's what Olsen herself had to say:
We can do anything with her now! I feel like we've done so much. Now, we can really have fun; I feel like there's a lot more humor to be had with her. She's often the emotion of a story, and I'm curious to see what we can explore. And hopefully [we can] give her some redemption.
