Elizabeth Olsen on Feeling Pressure to “Prove” Her Personal Film Taste Post Marvel

The actress played the Scarlet Witch for several years in the superhero franchise.

Elizabeth Olsen has revealed that her personal film taste doesn’t necessarily align with projects she’s starred in, namely Marvel movies.

The actress, who played Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe over nearly a decade, recently shared on NPR‘s Wild Card with Rachel Martin podcast that she feels pressure to “prove” her creative taste when it comes to the content she consumes.

“I think I haven’t always successfully made choices in my work that are aligned with my personal taste and that is something I feel like I’m still trying to prove when I meet people,” Olsen explained. “Especially if it’s a work-type meeting and be able to express my personal taste in films, literature, and so I still think I have that to prove.”
