Elizabeth Olsen’s career graph from being a child star to a Marvel icon is an inspirational journey. The former child actor entered the entertainment business at a very young age and appeared with her famous twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in their projects. Her debut as an adult was in the 2011 thriller Martha Marcy May Marlene for which she was nominated for a Critics Choice Award.

With her entry into the MCU as Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch, Olsen’s popularity skyrocketed and reached a peak with the critically acclaimed series WandaVision which earned the star a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy nomination. But Olsen’s road to fame was also peppered with doubts and sacrifices. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Avengers star got candid about her acting days as a child star and the dilemma she faced about her profession.

Being A Child Actor Was Tough According to Elizabeth Olsen

Marvel star Elizabeth Olsen was part of a fun video series curated by Vanity Fair in which the actor went down memory lane while watching clips of her performances from different films and shows. One of these snippets included a segment from How the West was Fun where she starred as a child actor with her twin sisters Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. The WandaVision actor spoke honestly about the challenges that she faced as a young artist and the choices that she was forced to make during that time.

Olsen also spoke about Hollywood being like her after-school day care where she would go everyday to either plunge herself into a role or to just sit in a corner and do her schoolwork.

Elizabeth Olsen Had Doubts about WandaVision

Eizabeth Olsen’s journey with the MCU reached its pinnacle with the critically acclaimed Disney+ series WandaVision which followed the complicated trajectory of Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch. The show became one of the most watched series and garnered high praise for Olsen as an artist. But the actor admitted that she was not always sure about how it would be received.

According to Olsen, WandaVision‘s sitcom theme felt risky in comparison to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s globetrotting superhero adventures, with both shows being filmed around the same time. Joking about her co-star Paul Bettany’s humorous comments about Wanda and Vision being the forgotten cousins of the MCU, Olsen said, While the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness indicated that Olsen’s time at the MCU was over, it is possible that her character could be revived in the next two Avengers movies as a possible contender to defeat the supremacy of Kang the Conqueror.
