Elizabeth Olsen has recently made honest admission about Marvel franchise.
Speaking on the latest episode of NPR’s Wild Card With Rachel Martin, Olsen, who starred as Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlett Witch in WandaVision, said, “I think I haven’t always successfully made choices in my work that are aligned with my personal taste, and that is something I feel like I’m still trying to prove when I meet people.”
The former child actor told the host, “Especially if it’s a work-type meeting and be able to express my personal taste in films and literature, and so I still think I have that to prove.”
“Because I have spent so many years doing Marvel that I feel like all the other jobs I have to do have to really reflect my personal taste because as much as I love being a part of this world,” explained the 36-year-old.
The Love & Death actress mentioned, “I’m proud of what I’ve been able to do with the character — it’s not really the art that I consume. Which I have been very honest about.”
Sharing her reason for joining the MCU, Olsen stated, “I thought they were such great Greek-type scale stories that reflected politics, culture in a really lovely way.”
“And so, I felt really proud to jump into it. And then, within the last 10 years, it’s taken on this narrative of like, it’s like a hot take, whether an actor says they want to, they would never do a Marvel movie or not,” added the actress.
