Olsen Advocates for Theatrical Releases, Cherishes Marvel Community

In a recent interview, actress Elizabeth Olsen has shared her passion for the theatrical experience and her ongoing involvement with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Olsen stated that she would rather star in films that receive theatrical releases rather than be made solely for streaming platforms, as she believes it is important for people to gather as a community to experience something they are excited about.

Regarding her prominent role as Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, Olsen revealed that she has "no idea" if her character is still alive after the events of 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Despite the uncertainty, Olsen has expressed her fondness for the "goofy" and "ridiculous" nature of working on Marvel films, where she gets to "fly" and "shoot things out of [her] hands" as part of her character.

Olsen has also acknowledged the value that her Marvel roles have brought to her career, providing her with a "consistency of a community and a job" as well as financial security, which has allowed her to make independent film choices. As she continues to navigate her acting journey, Olsen's commitment to the theatrical experience and her appreciation for the Marvel community remain evident.
