ELIZABETH OLSEN confirms she’s TOTALLY SCARLET WITCH in ‘AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON.’
I know. I know. We’re straight-up comic book movie whoredom around them here parts these days. With a sprinkle of Episode VII mania. I apologize. But. Yeah. I don’t know. 2015’s movie explosion is the driving force of the geek zeitgeist at the moment. So roll with it.
We’ve known that Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene, Godzilla) was likely going to play Quicksilver’s sister, known in heroic circles as the Scarlet Witch. Now the actress has spoken just a bit about the role — not enough to give anything away about the film, but enough to let us know for certain that she’s in it.
MTV talked to Olsen while she was doing press for Oldboy, and she explained,
[Aaron Taylor-Johson and I] get to play husband and wife [in Godzilla], and we get to play twin brother and sister [in Avengers]. It’s also fun because even though in ‘Godzilla’ we play husband and wife, we don’t have a lot of scenes together. I just love him. I love his family. I love his kids. I’m so excited we get to work with each other more and to actually work with each other. I think it’s going to be fun.
Has she seen any detailed info, such as concept art or costume proposals, for the movie? “No, I just know about it. It’s been talked about, and it’s so fun.”
I continue, as I have stated before in the three-hundred articles that speculated on this subject, to love this casting.
