Elizabeth Olsen Talks Marvel's AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
In addition to her previous interview with Total Film, Elizabeth Olsen, who will soon be suiting up as the Scarlet Witch, briefly touches on Comic Book Movies and Marvel films.
In an extended interview with Total Film, Olsen, who in the past has admitted to not being much of a regular in the comic book world, said "I'm not much of a comic book person. I like comic book movies but my brother [Trent] is a comic book guy. If I'm having a meeting, I ask my brother to tell me about it." Of course, we've heard from various other actors say the same thing. However, as she mentioned being a CBM fan, nothing stops her from watching Marvel films. "But of course I'd seen The Avengers! I've seen all the Marvel movies. I love those movies." Marvel is known to have films ranged from the more grounded Captain America movies to the fantastical elements introduced in the Thor movies. Touching on their rhythm, "Marvel keep the fantastical qualities but create something as they can make for this world. There's something genuinely broken. Everyone has their Achilles' heel." Talking about her inclusion with Avengers: Age of Ultron, Olsen added "I don't know how I got the job, but now I have it, and we're creating it. It's been a really fun process. We're being aware of the comic books but also doing our own thing."
Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Cobie Smulders, Jeremy Renner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, with Paul Bettany, Samuel L. Jackson and James Spader. The film is set to release on May 1, 2015.
