Elizabeth Olsenis coming to the defense of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which she plays the role of Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch.
“I’m not saying we’re making indie art films, but I just think it takes away from our crew, which bugs me,” the actress, who currently stars inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, said. “These are some of the most amazing set designers, costume designers, camera operators – I feel diminishing them with that kind of criticism takes away from all the people who do award-winning films, that also work on these projects.”
“From an actor’s point of view, whatever, I get it; I totally understand that there’s a different kind of performance that’s happening,” she said. “But I do think throwing Marvel under the bus takes away from the hundreds of very talented crew people. That’s where I get a little feisty about that.”

“I don’t know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again,” he continued. “Martin was kind when he said it’s not cinema. He didn’t say it’s despicable, which I just say it is.”

As for future MCU projects featuring Wanda/The Scarlet Witch, Olsen remains open. “I don’t know how big the plans actually are, but I’m down for anything as long as there’s a good idea attached to it,” she toldThe Independent.
