In the new issue of Total Film, Elzabeth Olsen is put on the spot about her role as the Scarlet Witch in Avengers: Age of Ultron which debuts next summer.
Olsen was asked about if she would don the sultry outfit that her character dons in the comics. She had this to say:
“We’ve done some costume
stuff, yeah! My favourite piece is my secrecy cloak that prevents anyone from seeing what I’m wearing. There’s a hood, and a robe – it protects the image!”
I don’t think Joss ever would have hired me, honestly, if he wanted me to wear those outfits; I am not a professional athlete and nor am I a model. Wearing those costumes wouldn’t be fun for anyone who wasn’t those things. He already had a different idea. It respects and involves the comic-book character but it’s different, more rooted. It’s for someone today.” “Well, if someone walked around wearing what she wore in the comics, people would stop and say, ‘What the hell… she thinks she’s a superhero!’”
