Elizabeth Olsen has revealed the advice she would give to actors who are about to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.The actress, who has played Wanda Maximoff (aka Scarlett Witch) in the MCU for eight years, shared the advice while appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.“I’ve had some people ask about it,” Olsen told host Josh Horowitz about actors asking for MCU advice. She then added: “Just give them one [film].”Olsen explained: “I think that way you have more control over… If you, let’s say, ‘Oh my God, this is the most fun I’ve ever had and I love this character so much, I want to do it again,’ you now have more creative control for the next one.”She then joked: “Don’t tell [David] Galluzzi that.
[He’s] business affairs at Marvel.” Earlier this month, Olsen admitted that she was hesitant to lead the Disney+ Avengers spin-off series WandaVision, one of the first major shows to launch with the streamer.“It felt scary to say yes to doing a TV show with these characters, and then putting it on an app that didn’t [yet] exist,” Olsen told IndieWire. “It didn’t feel like a safe place.”She added, however: “I’m really proud of what we’ve been able to do with the character — and characters, like with Vision (Paul Bettany).
There was a growth there that I couldn’t have predicted.”The actress previously said she was frustrated about her contractual obligations to Marvel as it stopped her appearing in a number of indie projects.“I had this job security but I was losing these pieces that I felt were more part of my being. And the further I got away from that, the less I became considered for it,” Olsen told The New York Times.

Meghann Fahy and Elizabeth Olsen are bonding over their craft.
Elizabeth Olsen and Meghann Fahy deliver two of the most nuanced performances of the Emmy season, both playing complicated women who are wives and mothers. In “Love & Death,” Olsen’s Candy Montgomery is based on a real housewife in late-1970s Texas, who out of boredom instigates an affair with Allan (Jesse Plemons), a member of her church — an illicit assignation that eventually leads to Candy being on trial for murdering Allan’s wife, Betty (Lily Rabe). In a very different setting, Season 2 of Mike White’s “The White Lotus,” Fahy plays Daphne, a character on a luxury Sicilian vacation with her husband, Cameron (Theo James), and another couple: Ethan (Will Sharpe) and Harper (Aubrey Plaza). As the tension among the four escalates, it’s both sexual and violent — and oddsmakers were entirely wrong about the identity of the dead body in the season-premiere flashback.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Elizabeth Olsen is currently on a break from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and she’s definitely enjoying it. During a conversation with “The White Lotus” star Meghann Fahy as part of Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series, Olsen got honest about not missing her Scarlet Witch days. “Do you miss doing Wanda?” Fahy asked. “No, I don’t,” Olsen responded. “I think it’s been almost 10 years of playing her. And I’ve loved it. And I think the reason why I am not calling Kevin Feige every day with ideas is because I’m really proud of what we were able to do. I think ‘WandaVision’ was a really surprising opportunity.”
