Los Angeles, California – Actress Elizabeth Olsen recently shared her thoughts on her film preferences, revealing that they do not always align with the blockbuster movies she has been a part of, such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
Olsen, known for her portrayal of Wanda Maximoff in the Avengers series of films, expressed on a podcast that her personal taste in films does not necessarily match the projects she has worked on. She mentioned that despite her involvement in the Marvel movies, they are not the type of art she would consume in her personal time.

Olsen admitted that she is still on a journey to prove herself in this aspect.
While acknowledging her appreciation for being a part of the Marvel Universe and the impact of her character, Olsen shared that she initially joined the MCU because she was drawn to the scale and storytelling of the films, which she found reflective of politics and culture in an intriguing manner.
Since making her debut in the MCU with a cameo in 2014’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” Olsen has continued to portray Wanda Maximoff in subsequent films like “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Captain America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” and “Avengers: Endgame.” She also headlined the Disney+ series “WandaVision,” which delved deeper into her character.
