Marvel’s Elizabeth Olsen Acknowledges 1 Criticism of Superhero Movies

by

Elizabeth Olsen, famous for playing Wanda Maximoff in Marvel films, recently talked about how people are feeling about superhero movies these days. At the Hamptons International Film Festival, she discussed whether audiences are getting tired of the genre, her personal connection to her work with Marvel, and what the future might hold for her within the franchise.

Elizabeth Olsen admits people have become ‘exhausted’ by superhero movies

I was so glad to hear Elizabeth Olsen talk about her love for superhero movies at Sag Harbor Cinema! She said it’s something she really enjoys and always wants to be a part of, which is amazing to me. (People magazine reported on it.)

The actress shared her thoughts on playing Wanda Maximoff for more than ten years, saying the last five years have been particularly rewarding because she’s been able to explore aspects of the character she hadn’t imagined. She also mentioned there are still storylines from the comics she’d love to bring to life, and believes fans would enjoy them too.

Olsen understands that some viewers are getting tired of superhero movies, but she highlighted the strong bond between these franchises and their fans. She explained that these films are primarily made for the enjoyment of those fans, not critics. She also pointed out that, like long-running TV shows, being part of a franchise can create a sense of community and familiarity, even if the public sometimes feels oversaturated with them.

The actress remembered feeling both fortunate and anxious when she initially became part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her performance as Wanda was recognized with an Emmy nomination for the series *WandaVision* in 2021. She also expressed her appreciation for stable work and teamwork, stating that having job security is a welcome feeling.

Mary Olsen made these remarks as her new movie, *Eternity*, kicked off the film festival on October 3rd. The romantic drama, directed by David Freyne, features Miles Teller and Callum Turner. It tells the story of a woman facing a difficult choice between her long-term partner and a past love after death. John Early, Olga Merediz, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph also star in the film.

Reports suggest Elizabeth Olsen could appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
