While attending the premiere of her new indie thriller, In Secret, Elizabeth Olsen was pressed for the latest on her role as Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, in The Avengers: Age of Ultron.
“I’m a big comic kid… I grew up on Star Wars and Lord of the Rings,” she told reporters. “I spent time with the Marvel guys talking about how I love these kinds of movies and I think they seem super creative and super exciting, and Joss [Whedon] and I met and we figured it out.” Speaking with E! News in a separate interview, the Godzilla actress said: “[I'm] very excited! We're doing prep work now. It's a lot of fun and I think it's going to be really exciting for the fans because it's going to be something they are not expecting. That's why I'm excited.”
