Elizabeth Olsen<\/a> can\u2019t remember anything about the new Marvel Zombies animated series, even though she voices the main character.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old actor has played Wanda Maximoff<\/a>, aka Scarlet Witch<\/a>, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a> since 2014.<\/p>\n

Olsen\u2019s last major part as Maximoff was 2022\u2019s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/a>, but she\u2019s now returned as the character for the new horror-themed spinoff series, appearing in three of the show\u2019s four episodes. However, she has almost no recollection of the plot or recording her lines.<\/p>\n

“I truly recorded that years ago,\u201d she said. \u201cI can’t remember anything. I need to watch it. I have no idea what [happens in] Marvel Zombies.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI filmed it,\u201d Olsen told fans at LA Comic Con. \u201cIt’s my voice. I did it in my house, I wasn’t even in an office space. This must have been 2020, 2021? Why was I working in my house and not in a studio? I really have no idea what it was like. I’m so sorry.”<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time that Olsen has been honest about her lack of investment in Marvel\u2019s output due to the superhero genre not necessarily aligning with her personal taste.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I haven\u2019t always successfully made choices in my work that are aligned with my personal taste, and that is something I feel like I\u2019m still trying to prove when I meet people,\u201d the former child actor said on NPR\u2019s Wild Card With Rachel Martin<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially if it\u2019s a work-type meeting and be able to express my personal taste in films and literature, and so I still think I have that to prove,\u201d Olsen added.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I have spent so many years doing Marvel that I feel like all the other jobs I have to do have to really reflect my personal taste because as much as I love being a part of this world \u2013 and I\u2019m proud of what I\u2019ve been able to do with the character \u2013 it\u2019s not really the art that I consume. Which I have been very honest about.\u201d<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether Olsen will return for any further MCU projects, having previously dashed hopes of her starring in upcoming blockbusters Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars due for release in 2026 and 2027, respectively.<\/p>\n

In March, The Hollywood Reporter <\/a>asked her if directors the Russo Brothers are going to be extending \u201c[her] stay” in London.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old coyly replied: \u201cNo, I\u2019m back [in the States]. I just finished [Panic Carefully]. I\u2019m moving on to filming a pilot for FX [called Seven Sisters].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169839,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-169838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
