It was a moment of heroic sacrifice for Wanda Maximoff, following a rampage through the Multiverse that left death and destruction in her wake.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been over three years since Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was released in theaters, and while the Scarlet Witch&#8217;s fate remains a mystery to us, Olsen did recently reprise the role in Marvel Animation&#8217;s Marvel Zombies.<\/p>\n<p>However, what was weeks ago for fans was actually years ago for the actress.<strong> &#8220;I recorded that so long ago, I\u2019m sorry,&#8221; <\/strong>she told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instyle.com\/elizabeth-olsen-eternity-interview-2025-11823757\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">InStyle<\/a>.<strong>\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s so crazy that&#8230;I feel terrible that I don&#8217;t&#8230;I can&#8217;t speak more to it.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Olsen likely recorded her lines while working on the Doctor Strange sequel, so it&#8217;s no wonder she doesn&#8217;t have much to say this far removed. The\u00a0WandaVision star was later asked if she believes Wanda is still alive in the main MCU and responded, <strong>&#8220;No idea.&#8221;<\/strong> Despite that, it&#8217;s widely believed that she&#8217;ll reprise the role in Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining what it is about the MCU that appeals to her, Olsen said that making the movies is a <strong>&#8220;joyful&#8221; <\/strong>experience as a performer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;And goofy. It\u2019s ridiculous,&#8221;<\/strong> she continued. <strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re grown people behaving like children on a playground. We&#8217;re flying. We&#8217;re shooting things out of our hands. And it\u2019s a character that I&#8217;ve gotten to return to so many times over 10 years. It\u2019s good to put her down and then I miss her and I want her back. I&#8217;d jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Praising the MCU, Olsen added, <strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s the consistency of a community and a job, which is hard to find. The insane camera movement, stunt work, and special effects, visual effects that are happening in real time. It\u2019s a lot of coordination, it&#8217;s hundreds and hundreds of people on set, and it&#8217;s a powerful thing to be a part of all those people working towards one goal. The people doing the visual effects are artists.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, not everyone has such high praise for the genre. Now, with &#8220;superhero fatigue&#8221; in full effect, the genre&#8217;s detractors are having a field day. Olsen, however, remained steadfast in her defence of comic book movies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;The soul, the spirit, the heart is fulfilled doing it. It does mean something. I care about the acting being great\u2014everyone does,&#8221;<\/strong> she shared. <strong>&#8220;There are hundreds of people doing their job to the highest degree. That\u2019s why it&#8217;s frustrating for them to not be acknowledged for the artistry that is involved. A lot happens in visual effects afterwards\u2014&#8217;cause we can&#8217;t actually fly, you know?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These comments from Olsen come hours after it was rumoured that her MCU return is indeed imminent. Marvel&#8217;s social media channels have been sharing a lot of Wanda-related content recently, likely setting the stage for the Scarlet Witch&#8217;s return in VisionQuest or the next Avengers movies.<\/p>\n<p>Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0is set to be released on December 18, 2026, with\u00a0Avengers: Secret Wars\u00a0scheduled\u00a0to arrive on December 17, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DQEpAbqgKek\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When we last saw Elizabeth Olsen&#8217;s Scarlet Witch, she&#8217;d been buried under Mount Wundagore.
