Elizabeth Olsen Talks Scarlet Witch from Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/strong>Posted by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

May 5, 2014<\/p>\n

\"Elizabeth<\/a>While promoting her upcoming film, Gareth Edwards’s Godzilla, actress Elizabeth Olsen<\/strong> talked briefly about her next project, playing Scarlet Witch opposite her Godzilla co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson<\/strong>, who will be playing Quicksilver in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coincidentally, the characters first appeared on-screen in the post-credits to ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier<\/strong>‘ in which Scarlet is seen juggling some objects which Quicksilver is bouncing off the walls. Both are being held in a glass cage by the Baron Wolfgang von Strucker (played by Thomas Kretschman<\/strong>n).<\/p>\n

What is your character doing with those blocks at the end of ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier?’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Olsen:<\/strong> What am I doing? Whatever it looks like. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m allowed to say anything. I\u2019m so terrified about everything Marvel.<\/p>\n

\"Elizabeth<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s it like playing the wife to Aaron in this film (Godzilla) and then transition to being his sister in another?<\/strong>
\n
\nElizabeth Olsen:<\/strong> It\u2019s awesome! You know, we only did a few scenes together for this film (Godzila), but we spent time together in Vancouver, and I got to know his family, and we spent time together. And to play really tight twin brother and sister, it\u2019s really lucky that it\u2019s not with some guy I jut met or something. I think we both like the fact that we have this other film (Godzilla) in our repertoire.<\/p>\n

\"Avengers<\/a>What’s your process with these franchise films? Did you go back and watch previous Godzilla films and with Avengers, did you read the comic books?
\n<\/strong>
\nElizabeth Olsen:<\/strong> With Gozilla, not so much. Even Gareth would say that if I wanted to see a Gozilla film, see the 1954 original. In his mind, there’s no reason to see anything else. In preparing for Godzilla, it was largely making sure the family wasn’t stereotyped but broad enough because it needs to reach a world audience. But rooted and grounded enough in a relationship that you can get behind. That was a conversation that never stopped between Gareth, Aaron and I. With \u2018Avengers\u2019, for me it was just like \u2018Throw it all in!\u2019 and I just like read. And I\u2019m still reading comics, and I love looking at fan pages for something like that. I think for something like a comic book character, that\u2019s something else. But I\u2019m also the first human interpretation of the Scarlet Witch, so you want to be able to honor cartoons and comics and fans and all of that. But bring your own thing to it that you\u2019re re-creating. So that\u2019s been a really fun process.<\/p>\n

Fun reading…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Elizabeth<\/a>Elizabeth Olsen:<\/strong> But it\u2019s awesome because she\u2019s dope.<\/p>\n

Was Godzilla your first film doing CGI and were you a pro by the time you started shooting Avengers? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Olsen:<\/strong> It was definitely my first time doing something like this. I didn’t have any green screens to work with. It was all imagination. It such a different world. It\u2019s so crazy. The main difference is that in \u2018Godzilla\u2019 you\u2019re reacting to something that isn\u2019t there, and in something like \u2018Avengers\u2019, you\u2019re approaching and almost interacting with something that\u2019s not there. And so that\u2019s what the main difference is for me, right now.<\/p>\n
