What draws Elizabeth Olsen back to the MCU as Scarlet Witch?
- Elizabeth Olsen, a beloved actress in the Marvel universe, has returned to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- Olsen explains that working with Marvel provides consistency and a sense of “insurance” in her life.
- She has balanced her work in the MCU with other projects, including “Sorry For Your Loss” and “Ingrid Goes West.”
Elizabeth Olsen has become one of the most beloved actresses in the Marvel universe. Her decision to reprise her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to win over audiences and benefits her as well, providing new opportunities to advance her career.
In an interview with “Vulture”, Olsen revealed that she never adopted the mindset of “one for them, one for me.” She explained that working with Marvel has provided consistency, offering her a sense of “insurance” in her life.
She added that it gave her the liberty to choose other gigs. The actress continued, “So I haven’t felt like, ‘And then I’ll do this to do this.’”
Before entering the superhero universe, Olsen rose to stardom by taking on multiple indie projects. Since joining Marvel, she has successfully balanced her work in the MCU with other projects, including “Sorry For Your Loss” and “Ingrid Goes West”.
It’s understandable if a performer turns down the opportunity to join the MCU due to the commitment it requires. The role often involves appearing multiple times in various projects over several years within the same universe, which could limit the actor’s opportunities elsewhere.
This is certainly not the case for Olsen, as she manages to balance it all while advancing her career by pursuing other projects. The same applies to Mark Ruffalo, who, in addition to playing Hulk in the franchise, has built a strong reputation for himself and earned several accolades for his work.
Olsen has impressed audiences with her diverse career trajectory, starring in projects like “Love & Death”, “His Three Daughters”, “Martha Marcy May Marlene”, “Wind River”, “The Assessment”, “In Secret”, “I Saw The Light”, “Red Lights”, “Godzilla”, “Very Good Girls”, “Liberal Arts”, “Kodachrome”, and many more.
