Scarlet Witch’s appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was extremely explosive, both bringing a complete new chapter following WandaVision and affirming her position as the most powerful in the current MCU superhero lineup. . This is also the role that helps Elizabeth Olsen, after many years of standing behind her sisters, find her own spotlight in her career. Yet before that, this “miracle” almost slipped out of Olsen’s hands!

In fact, in the past, the character Scarlet Witch almost did not end up in the hands of Elizabeth Olsen. Scheduled to debut in Age of Ultron, Scarlet Witch’s appearance was inspired by actress Saoirse Ronan. Even Ronan seemed extremely interested when asked by the media about Marvel targeting her for the role of Wanda Maximoff in 2013. But in the end, the Little Women star did not join the MCU.

On the other hand, Saoirse Ronan has the opportunity to participate in many quality works such as Lady Bird, The French Dispatch,… and even be nominated for an Oscar. On the contrary, Elizabeth Olsen has confessed that becoming the MCU’s Scarlet Witch has deprived her of many acting opportunities.

Besides Saoirse Ronan, there are still two other female stars who almost became the powerful sorceress of Doctor Strange jn the Multiverse of Madness. First is Sasha Pieterse-Sheaffer – star of the series Pretty Little Liars. She considered the role of Scarlet Witch for a long time and then refused. Currently, other than Pretty Little Liars, the career of the actress born in 1996 is not outstanding.

In addition, famous star Lindsay Lohan also received an invitation to participate in the casting for the role of Scarlet Witch. Although she did not get the role, this did not affect Lohan much because she was already a famous name coming out of the Disney “forge”.

Anyway, at present, Elizabeth Olsen is doing her role very well, bringing an extremely satisfying Scarlet Witch with unquestionable acting. Surely after Doctor Strange 2, Wanda will be the key and most important name in the upcoming Phase 4 of the MCU.
