It is true that when you start portraying one character so perfectly in the film industry for an extended period of time, they start getting recognition and become synonymous with it. Such was the case with Elizabeth Olsen, who rose to international stardom with her portrayal of Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well, if one gets an opportunity to work with one of the most successful superhero franchises in the world, they would definitely take it, as it’ll put them on the list of the top stars in the industry.
However, the Kill Your Darlings actress had grown bored of her superhero role and wanted to step back because she felt it killed the acting range and limited her opportunities as an artist. Now, her dream has come true as Olsen is going to star in a number of Non-Marvel projects, and fans are thrilled for her.
Elizabeth Olsen is Done Being a Marvel Superhero
Whether you like it or not, one can not deny the fact that in the present time, the biggest stars in the industry are an integral part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Elizabeth Olsen is also one such name; who portrayed the role of Scarlet Witch in the franchise for 7 years.
However, she seemed a little off about playing only one role and wanted to separate herself in an attempt to diversify her career.
Last year, during an exclusive interview with The Times, the I Saw the Light actress shared how portraying one role is great in the short run, but in the long run, it will make her career look one-dimensional and she doesn’t want to be “associated as just this character.”
Olsen last portrayed her iconic role in Benedict Cumberbatch’s starrer 2022 film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where her character met her end, wrapping up the possibility of her return.
Elizabeth Olsen is All Set To Star in Non-Marvel Films
Following her comments from last year, fans were disappointed as they would not get to see more of her in the MCU, however, a new report has emerged from Film Updates (@FilmUpdates) on X, which states that Olsen is all ready to work in four new films, that too, in four different genres.
The news has immensely delighted her fans as the information was met with a positive response from the fans, and they supported her in the new chapter of her career.
While it was a delight to watch Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it looks like she is going to follow through with her plans. Nevertheless, Marvel fans should not lose hope because even though her character met her end in the 2022 film, her variant in the Multiverse is alive, which does not end the possibility of her imminent return to the superhero franchise.
