Elizabeth Olsen’s portrayal of Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, began with a post-credits scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where remnants of HYDRA harnessed Loki’s sceptre to unlock her and her brother Quicksilver’s powers. This planted the seeds for their future arcs in the MCU. Over time, Wanda’s journey unfolded through key films like Avengers: Age of Ultron, where the twins initially joined Ultron before switching sides. The loss of Pietro in battle deeply affected Wanda, setting up an emotional undercurrent that would intensify in subsequent movies.
Her character’s complexity grew, especially in Avengers: Infinity War, where the death of Vision at Thanos’s hands overwhelmed her grief. In the Disney+ series WandaVision, Wanda created an alternate reality in Westview, New Jersey, where she reconstructed Vision and imagined twin sons. She eventually set the residents free and embraced her full Scarlet Witch identity, although her connection to the Darkhold led her into a dangerous spiral across the Multiverse. Her last major appearance was in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but fans anticipate her return in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

Elizabeth Olsen Reflects on Playing Scarlet Witch
In a recent interview, Olsen described the experience of embodying the Scarlet Witch across both movies and television as both exciting and lighthearted despite the intense scenes involved. She said the role is “joyful” because it allows for playful creativity.
We’re grown people behaving like children on a playground. We’re flying. We’re shooting things out of our hands. And it’s a character that I’ve gotten to return to so many times over 10 years. It’s good to put her down and then I miss her and I want her back. I’d jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again.

She also conveyed appreciation for the collaborative nature of Marvel productions, highlighting the complexity and scale of their work.
It’s 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’s a lot of coordination, it’s hundreds and hundreds of people on set, and it’s a powerful thing to be a part of all those people working towards one goal. The people doing the visual effects are artists.
