Elizabeth Olsen has been seen as Scarlet Witch in Marvel’s superhero films since 2014, but that role has, according to her, ensured that she was less involved in other productions. That is what the actress says in an interview with The New York Times†

“I just couldn’t get certain roles that were more in line with what I would enjoy as a moviegoer,” said the 33-year-old. “It really is. I had a contract with Marvel that I couldn’t get out of, so it just didn’t work.”

Olsen had agreed to make three Marvel films, making her an important role in, among other things, The Lobster had to pass up† The leading roles in that fantasy drama, which won the jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival, went to Rachel Weisz and Colin Farrell.

“I started to get frustrated. I did have job security, but I lost pieces that I thought were really part of me,” says the actress. “The further I got away from those roles, the less I qualified for them.”

through the series WandaVision Olsen was having fun with her Marvel character again. “We all thought it was really crazy and didn’t know if there would be an audience for it, so that also gave us a certain freedom. There was no pressure or fear. A very healthy experience.”

Olsen is open to new Marvel movie

The actress can now be seen as Scarlet Witch again in the new Marvel film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness† She says that she would like to play the sorceress again. “But that must be a really good story.”

“These movies are best when they’re not made purely to get new content. A story with a strong perspective works better than having to finish a plan of three movies.”
