Elizabeth Olsen Sets Theatrical-Only Rule for Future Studio Films

She says theatrical runs honor the communal experience she values.

Overview

Speaking in a new InStyle cover interview reported Tuesday, Olsen said she will no longer sign onto studio movies unless a theatrical release is guaranteed.
She made an exception for independently produced films that may later sell to a streaming platform.
Explaining the stance, she emphasized the importance of shared, in-person viewing and noted industry shifts since COVID-19, including remote auditions.
Olsen said she would jump at the chance to reprise Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, reiterating openness to a future MCU return.
Her next project, A24’s Eternity, begins a limited theatrical release on Nov. 14, following a recent run of indie films such as His Three Daughters.
