Elizabeth Olsen Talks Playing Scarlet Witch in Captain America: Civil War

This is you play Scarlet Witch. Yeah, I am a comic book person So I'm familiar with the character the character in the films Not wearing the outfit I was accustomed to and is it true that this was something you were told right away that you did not have To worry about that. Yes about this same meeting Joss Whedon even mentioned who we were meeting about he said there's this character Scarlet Witch that I'm interested in for you to play and Then he said and when you go home and Google her just know that you will Never ever have to wear what she wears in the comics. This is sort of a basic Scarlet Witch right there That probably made me fairly happy. Yeah, cuz you know, I I did ballet growing up But that's not a confident look That would be a hard thing if you were to wear that every day It might be a little tough getting out of the trailer. Yeah Stepping on your case and also like what's the amount of tape that's going on here? I feel like I required a lot of tape just tonight Now I it's an interesting Hero for you to play because you are sort of more magic based Yes Because I will say almost everyone else in the film does a lot of punching and a lot of kicking or like they shoot Something they're shooting. Some people can get like I don't even know I'm not even in the movie and I'm worried about what I'm allowed to say bow and arrow There's bow and arrows. Yeah, and you just have to do I hand work. Yeah, I do I get to do a lot of this. I mean, I feel like it's not just like that The sad thing is is like I take a lot of pride with our choreographer Jimmy what I would ask about you you choreographed your fingers. Yes Well, it came it came it came from Joss's mind Do they have a little bar like in a ballerina studio where your fingers like I actually do finger exercise Really because I try and figure out how to isolate fingers and I'm not very good with my left hand So we always try and feature the right. Oh, wow And so give me a little of like what a Scarlet Witch spell. I love a twitch I always think that's oh like that's like you're really working. That's like that's me doing my job This is what I do at work, that's that's what I look like when I haven't had a drink I think the camera's doing that. There we go. There you Because in all the pictures she's just like this so you have to figure out how to make that move Yeah, you know you just make it up. Yeah No, it's right. You're not like spider-man where they're gonna CGI in webs later You got to do it right there on the day Yeah, and you just hope that they make special effects look cool with all the red stuff Yeah, and now have you been approached by any hand modeling agencies since the films come out? Not yet Anyone could call you and you are available to take the call. I would love to do a hand campaign. Yeah
