Dr Strange 2: Elizabeth Olsen tired by the MCU? She talks about her frustrations and her sacrifices for Marvel

Catapulted into the MCU in 2014 in Avengers: L'Ere d'Ultron in the role of Wanda Maximoff, actress Elizabeth Olsen is undoubtedly one of the best elements of Dr Strange in the Multaveve of Madness. It is true that for 8 years, his character was under-exploited and obviously deceptive when we know his potential in comic-books. But 2022 finally marks the year when we can reconsider our gaze on the Scarlet Witch, especially since it swallowed the Darkhold at the end of Wandavision. In promotion around the world for several weeks, she confided in the New York Times on her involvement for Marvel and the constraints of contract once we decide to be part of the family of superheroes of the MCU. If she is delighted to have become the red witch, she cannot help remember that she had to refuse certain roles, including one in particular in the film The Lobster by Yorgos Lanthimos, which left with the price of Jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015.

Elizabeth Olsen on Doctor Strange 2, Her Marvel Contract, and Wanda's Future in the MCU

I started to be frustrated. I had employment safety with Marvel, but I was losing roles that suited me more. And the more I moved away and the less I was considered. Losing this role in The Lobster was a Crève-Coeur. I was contractually linked to Marvel and I couldn't get rid of it. So it didn't work.

Do we have to see a certain form of MCU weariness? Undoubtedly, especially if the 33-year-old actress begins to speak about it publicly, and given the (pseudo) comes out which is reserved for her character, it could be a valid outing for her to get out of the MCU. However, to the question of whether she is ready to accept other films in the role of Wanda, she argues that she would do it, provided that it is a good story with a strong point of view, and not be present to build a trilogy. After Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans and Scarlet Johansson, is Elizabeth Olsen the next to want to leave the MCU? To Kevin Feige to hold back his best elements with real good stories...
