Russo Brothers Address a Change to Scarlet Witch in INFINITY WAR
If you have not seen Avengers: Infinity War, be warned that there are very minor spoilers ahead.
If you’ve seen the film, you’ll know that Scarlet Witch has no accent. This has led to many fans criticizing Elizabeth Olsen, saying she was lazy and stuff like that. It turns out that it was not her choice, but the choice of directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. In a recent episode of Happy Sad Confused, the directorial brothers were asked a lot of questions about the movie (it’s all pretty interesting) and among them was this idea that Scarlet Witch doesn’t have her Sokovian accent anymore. Here’s their reasoning:
It makes sense that all the characters would need to change things about themselves, so I’m willing to buy it. I honestly was so sucked into the movie that I didn’t notice she didn’t have an accent until the movie was over.
Avengers: Infinity War is in theaters now.
