Elizabeth Olsen Declines Scarlet Witch Costume 😱

Elizabeth Olsen, who portrays Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), has had varied experiences with her character's costumes. In the comics, Scarlet Witch's attire is notably revealing, featuring a form-fitting leotard and cape. When Olsen was cast for Avengers: Age of Ultron, director Joss Whedon assured her that she wouldn't have to wear the comic-accurate costume, acknowledging its impracticality for the film's tone and action sequences.

However, during the production of Avengers: Infinity War, Olsen expressed discomfort with her character's costume, describing it as a "cleavage corset." She felt that the outfit was unnecessarily revealing and didn't align with her vision for the character.

Interestingly, for the Disney+ series WandaVision, Olsen advocated for wearing a version of the classic comic costume for a Halloween-themed episode. She believed it would be a fun homage to the original design, even though she had previously been skeptical about donning such attire.

Olsen's journey with the Scarlet Witch's costumes reflects her desire to balance authenticity to the source material with practicality and respect for her portrayal of the character.
