Marvel Star Elizabeth Olsen's Surprising Dodgers Obsession Gives Her Insight into Superfandom

In a recent interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", actress Elizabeth Olsen discussed how her newfound love for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team has helped her better understand and empathize with the passionate nature of Marvel fans. Olsen, who stars in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, revealed that she has only been a Dodgers superfan for the past eight years, a relatively recent development compared to her Marvel fame.

Olsen explained that prior to becoming a dedicated Dodgers supporter, she "couldn't really experience" the intense devotion that Marvel fans have for the franchise. However, as she has embraced her Dodgers fandom, Olsen has gained a newfound appreciation for the level of care and commitment that fans can have for their beloved teams and franchises.

The actress even shared that she now receives Dodgers-themed gifts from fans at comic conventions, such as a custom Scarlet Witch headpiece painted in Dodgers colors and a homemade Kike Hernandez t-shirt. This outpouring of fan support has further solidified Olsen's understanding of the Marvel fan experience.

As Olsen stated, "In some ways, it's been interesting because there are Marvel fans, and so I'm on the other end of that, right? And it wasn't really until I started, like, doubling down every year on the Dodgers for the last eight years that I started to realize how much I am a fan of it."
