Zack Sharf Elizabeth Olsen has been playing Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch since her brief appearance in the post-credits scene of the 2014 tentpole “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” Olsen’s character debuted more fully a year later in “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” which was followed by four more Marvel tentpoles and her Emmy-nominated limited series “WandaVision” over the next seven years. All of this time spent in the MCU forced Olsen to miss out on many acting roles that she recently told The New York Times better suited the kind of actor she wanted to be and the kind of movies she loved as an audience member.“It took me away from the physical ability to do certain jobs that I thought were more aligned with the things I enjoyed as an audience member,” Olsen said.
