Elizabeth Olsen Acknowledges Superhero Fatigue But Also Says She'd Love to Return to Play Wanda in the MCU
Elizabeth Olsen has been playing Wanda Maximoff in the MCU for over a decade, and she still feels like she has some unfinished business.
After appearing in previous Avengers and Captain America titles, we were able to really dig into her character in the hit limited series WandaVision, which led to her villainous reign in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. We’ve been out of touch with Wanda since then, but Olsen hopes to revisit her.
The actress told People, "It's really fruitful, and the stories have only gotten better for me, my character. I really enjoyed it," she said, later going on to address superhero-movie fatigue:
"Some people have ongoing television series that they get to return to. Very few, I feel like, get to be a part of franchises that, I know we might culturally get a little bit exhausted by, but there is something about them that becomes very familial."
"There's nothing else really like it, and I don't know that I'll have [that] again unless it's for an ongoing show," said Olsen. "I do like that kind of consistency. It feels good. I mean, job security feels nice — I think we can all agree on that."
I’d love to see her character return, especially amid the new Vision Quest series, the show Agatha All Along, which revealed one of Wanda’s sons, and the rumors that both her twins will appear in the MCU soon.
