Elizabeth Olsen recently revealed she cannot remember recording her role as Scarlet Witch in the Disney+ animated series Marvel Zombies. This comes as the adult animated miniseries launched, featuring Olsen reprising Wanda Maximoff alongside other MCU stars like Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova and Simu Liu as Shang-Chi. The show marks Elizabeth Olsen’s first portrayal of the character since Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in 2022.
Details on Olsen’s Surprising Memory Gap
At Los Angeles Comic-Con, the 36-year-old actress addressed her involvement in the series. She admitted confusion over the recording process, stating,
“I truly recorded that years ago. I can’t remember anything. I need to watch it. I have no idea what [happens in] Marvel Zombies,”
Elizabeth Olsen shared, according to GamesRadar.
Olsen further described her experience and puzzled recall of how the recording took place, saying,
“I filmed it. It’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.”
Current Projects and Public Appearances
Aside from her work on Marvel Zombies, Elizabeth Olsen has been promoting her new film Eternity. She was recently seen at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2025, where fans captured her appearance on the red carpet.
Implications of Olsen’s Disconnected Experience
Elizabeth Olsen’s inability to remember recording a significant Marvel role highlights the unusual circumstances many actors faced during the pandemic, often working remotely from home rather than studios. This situation may affect the way voice acting is conducted for high-profile franchises in the future, possibly influencing scheduling and workflow. For fans of the Marvel Zombies series and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Olsen’s role remains a notable return despite her own uncertainty about the process.
