Elizabeth Olsen says it didn't seem like Marvel knew what to do with Scarlet Witch after WandaVision, but she'd be happy to reprise the role if the MCU finds a way that makes sense.
“It's a character I love to come back to when there's a way to use it well and I think I've been lucky that when I first started I was used well,” Olsen told radio station FM104. “I think people didn't know what to do with me for a second… if there's a good way to use it, I'm always happy to come back.”
Olsen first appeared as Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, before reprising the role again in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. WandaVision, set after the events of Endgame, arrived on Disney Plus in 2021 as the MCU's first TV show and saw Wanda use magic to channel her grief into an idyllic, comedic version of reality. She then starred in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, where she stopped at nothing to be with a multiverse version of her two children who aren't actually hers.
The actor will next appear in His Three Daughters alongside Carrie Coon and Natasha Lyonne, which will be released in limited theaters in the US beginning September 6 before arriving on Netflix on September 20.
