Elizabeth Olsen Opens Door to MCU Return, Emphasizes Fan-First Approach

At a Hamptons festival talk, she described the role as unfinished business with comic arcs she still hopes to explore.

Overview

  • Speaking Oct. 4 at the Hamptons International Film Festival, Olsen said she "always" wants to return as Wanda Maximoff and flagged specific comic through-lines she hopes to adapt.
  • Addressing superhero fatigue, she argued Marvel movies are made for fans rather than critics and said the franchise has been rewarding for her character.
  • She noted a significant late change to her character’s path in a prior MCU film was communicated only about three weeks before shooting, underscoring past coordination challenges.
  • Olsen said Marvel provided job security that let her choose other work, as she promoted A24’s Eternity, which opens in limited release Nov. 14 before a wide release Nov. 26.
  • Industry chatter continues to link her to future Avengers films, though any return remains unconfirmed by Marvel Studios.
