Elizabeth Olsen is one of the greatest stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, not only is he the protagonist of some of the most important ones, but he also has his own series on Disney+. WandaVisionone of the first to appear on the streaming service.
The protagonist of Marvel films spoke in detail in an interview on Diversity about what it’s like to work and how you prepare for what were one of the most successful films superheroes in recent years, and nothing is hushed up.
First of all, he talked about the difficulties of preparing for the role, as he points out that he had to improvise a lot, despite the fact that the films themselves are very stupid.
The actress tells how she was barely allowed to study the script in a closed room on the iPad, without the opportunity to pick it up, which caused some very awkward momentsYes: “These films are very stupid, but for them to work, you have to play the fool.” (These movies are so dumb, but you have to work hard to make them work)
“Ridiculous” situations and classic Marvel secrecy
He also commented on the ridiculousness of many of the behind-the-scenes situations without post-production, especially due to the costume of many of the main characters such as Vision:
These films are so ridiculous, but you have to give it your all to make it work. This is ridiculous. There are many ridiculous things. I always wish that one day they will release a version of the film without any special effects, because then you will understand how ridiculous it is to shoot them. And what a spectacular job on their implementation.
We didn’t know anything about how they rolled. Characters they don’t know the whole scenario, only their roletherefore, there are situations in which they film situations that they do not fully understand:
I mean, these movies don’t really know what’s going on. I only get my pages, so I understand the part of the story I’m serving. I get a story from Russo about what happens in the rest of the movie. And it’s not in the script that everyone gets. (…)
The script of these films could be read in the office, with a security guard, on a specific iPad. And I’m like, “Can you give me what I need to know?” (…)
(…) So it’s very embarrassing to film things like that because the whole world is up to you to do it. And we improvised a bit, which is difficult to improvise at that time.
All in all, one thing is clear: as ridiculous as they are, they are still one of the most successful films of all time. You can read the interview in full at Diversitywhere apart from the Marvel movies he also shares some personal issues.
