Elizabeth Olsen knows the type of projects she wants to be part of, and she revealed she will not sign onto a studio movie without a guaranteed theatrical release.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a movie is made independently and only sells to a streamer, then fine. But I don\u2019t want to make something where [streaming is] the end-all,\u201d Olsen told InStyle<\/a> for the publication\u2019s cover story published on Tuesday. \u201cI think it\u2019s important for people to gather as a community, to see other humans, be together in a space.\u201d<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cThat\u2019s why I like sports. I think it\u2019s really powerful for people to come together for something that they\u2019re excited about. We don\u2019t even audition in person anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n Olsen kicked off her career by starring in the 2011 independent film Martha Marcy May Marlene, though she\u2019s gone on to appear in several major studio films. She\u2019s portrayed the role of Scarlet Witch in a handful of Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, with her most recent film in the franchise being 2022\u2019s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Additionally, Olsen starred as Scarlet Witch in Disney+\u2019s 2021 show WandaVision.<\/p>\n WandaVision isn\u2019t the only streaming show Olsen has starred on, as she\u2019s also appeared on HBO Max\u2019s Love & Death and Facebook Watch\u2019s Sorry for Your Loss.<\/p>\n She also reflected on making the MCU movies during the interview and revealed if she would be open to reprising the role again.<\/p>\n \u201cMaking the films are fun. Goofy. It\u2019s ridiculous. We\u2019re grown people like children on a playground,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re flying. We\u2019re shooting things out of our hands. And it\u2019s a character that I\u2019ve gotten to return to so many times after over 10 years. It\u2019s good to put her down and then I miss her and I want her back. I\u2019d jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again.\u201d<\/p>\n Olsen went on to note that there are many pros that come with working within the MCU.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s 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\u2019s hundreds and hundreds of people on set, and it\u2019s a powerful thing to be a part of all those people working towards one goal,\u201d she said. \u201cThe people doing the visual effects are artists. \u2026 The soul, the spirit, the heart is fulfilled doing it. It does mean something. I care about the acting being great \u2014 everyone does.\u201d<\/p>\n Olsen made the comments one month after she said she would reprise her role<\/a> of Scarlet Witch if done in the right way. \u201cIt\u2019s a character that I love going back to when there\u2019s a way to use her well, and I think I have been lucky that when I started I was used well within\u00a0Age of Ultron,\u201d Olsen\u00a0said during an interview with\u00a0Dublin\u00a0radio outlet FM104<\/a>.<\/p>\n She went on to note that the MCU was \u201cable to utilize the character well in interesting ways of telling stories in ways they hadn\u2019t yet,\u201d specifically when it came to WandaVision. \u201cSo if there\u2019s a good way to use her I\u2019m always happy to come back, however they can make that make sense,\u201d Olsen said.<\/p>\n While Olsen does not have another MCU project lined up yet, fans can next see her in A24\u2019s upcoming film Eternity<\/a>. She stars opposite Miles Teller and Callum Turner in the fantasy romantic comedy, which is set in an afterlife where the recently deceased have one week to decide who to spend all of eternity with.<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
