During a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast hosted by Josh Horowitz, Elizabeth Olsen was asked to give advice to aspiring actors looking to pursue roles in Marvel movies. Her response was simple: “just give them one.” This implies that actors should avoid signing contracts for multiple films. It also suggests that Olsen may not be entirely satisfied with her role as Scarlet Witch.
The fact that top actors like Olsen and Chris Hemsworth are expressing discontent with their Marvel roles is worrisome for the future of the franchise. In a recent GQ interview, Hemsworth advised Marvel to focus on making “more personal and grounded” movies rather than constantly scaling up. Perhaps Marvel should take heed of these concerns and consider a change in direction.
