In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the Scarlet Witch is able to take control of one of her Variants and unleashes pure chaos in The Illuminati's Universe. When the group confronts her, Wanda makes short work of them, killing Mister Fantastic and Black Bolt with ease before battling Captain Carter and Captain Marvel. From there, she snaps the neck of poor Professor X!
During an interview with Cinema Blend, Elizabeth Olsen was asked how it felt to welcome John Krasinski and Sir Patrick Stewart into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and made an astounding confession. "I've never met them [Laughs]," she confirmed. "Movie magic!"
That's pretty incredible, but not surprising. While Stewart was always expected to appear in the sequel (he first mentioned being approached by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige a couple of years ago), the secrecy surrounding his cameo likely involved a closed set. As for Krasinski, it's thought he was brought in during last year's reshoots to make The Illuminati a little more star-studded.
As for why taking out the team wasn't even easier for the Scarlet Witch, Olsen explained: "We decided that the limitation is that she isn't in her body, she's in a "less oiled" version of her body so it's not capable of doing as much as our universe's Wanda could do. It's more about using the body like a bad car or something, like a not-so-tuned-up car. I wanted it to be easier [Laughs]."
Needless to say, we're hoping Marvel Studios shot plenty of behind the scenes footage from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as we're intrigued by how this sequence was pieced together!
