Elizabeth Olsen Sets Theatrical-Only Condition for Studio Films, Keeps MCU Return on the Table

She traces the stance to her Facebook Watch experience, prioritizing shared moviegoing.

Overview

  • Olsen says she will not sign major studio movies without a guaranteed big-screen release, allowing exceptions only when an indie later sells to a streamer.
  • She describes theatergoing as a communal experience worth protecting, comparing it to the energy of live sports.
  • The actor remains open to reprising Scarlet Witch if a compelling story emerges, though no new Marvel project is set.
  • She credits MCU work with providing the financial security that lets her choose indie, theatrical-first projects.
  • Her next role is in A24’s Eternity with Miles Teller and Callum Turner; she also points to fewer in-person auditions and the large-scale coordination on Marvel sets.
