Elizabeth Olsen is as soon as once more speaking about her experiences making Marvel films, and in a current interview with The Playlist, she opened up about Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity reshoots, and the intriguing concept she pitched to Marvel for Scarlet Witch’s return.
Reshoots are nothing new for Marvel movies, however director Sam Raimi and author Michael Waldron hadn’t seen WandaVision when growing the movie, resulting in a model of Wanda Maximoff that caught many followers off guard.
Olsen, nevertheless, clarified that she wasn’t really concerned within the reshoots.
“I really wasn’t part of the reshoots. I used to be filming [HBO’s limited series] Love and Dying. So, what I did is what stayed. I believe that there have been a number of reshoots, however not likely pertaining to what I did.”
Regardless of the drastic flip her character took as she went full-blown villain and seemingly assembly her finish beneath Mount Wundagore, Olsen embraced the shift.
“It was an fascinating flip, however one which I used to be excited to take and actually form of relish in it as an alternative of tiptoe into it,” she defined. “I assumed it was form of one thing scrumptious. I assumed it was a enjoyable alternative.”
Previous studies have advised that the majority of the reshoots targeted on remodeling the Illuminati’s lineup and tweaking the movie’s opening, which initially included a brutal scene the place Wanda beheaded Earth-616’s Karl Mordo. That sequence in the end didn’t make the ultimate minimize.
With Scarlet Witch’s destiny left ambiguous, hypothesis about her MCU future has been working wild. Many anticipate her to return in Avengers: Doomsday, probably aligned with Robert Downey Jr.’s rumored Physician Doom. However Olsen has her personal imaginative and prescient for Wanda’s subsequent chapter.
She shared: “You recognize, once I take into consideration my dream model [of Wanda], it’s like 50 years later, and I’ve white hair—such a giant, huge white wig—and gnarly face of wrinkles doing like a Tracy Ullman factor. And I’m similar to a creature that they discover. And that’s how I think about Wanda’s subsequent journey.”
That is really an idea that she pitched to Marvel, saying: “It’s one thing I’ve fairly actually pitched as a result of it might be so enjoyable to get to try this to me. I imply, I suppose in one of many comics, she ages fairly shortly, and I believe these are the photographs which might be implanted in my mind subsequent as a result of I haven’t completed it.”
When requested if she’s had any discussions with the Russo Brothers about her future within the MCU, she performed it coy, merely saying, “Yeah.”
I really love that pitch and it might be an fascinating technique to proceed her story. I doubt it’ll go down that manner, although.
Past the Avengers sequels, rumors persist that Wanda could possibly be the main target of her personal solo movie, probably adapting The Kids’s Campaign storyline. That might place her on the middle of a narrative involving the Younger Avengers, which Marvel has been subtly organising for years.
We’ll simply have to attend and see what Marvel’s plans for Scarlet Witch are. She’s received an fascinating story arc that may go in so many alternative instructions. What do you consider her pitch?
