“It is something that I love, and it’s something I always want to return to. I think the thing that’s been so special about the last five years is I’ve gotten to do so much with the character that I never thought I would,” Elizabeth explains, via People.
Her comments likely come as a relief to fans, some of whom have shown concern that the Love & Death actress is done playing Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch, especially since the character met a tragic end in the 2022 film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
But she says there are still comic storylines that she would “love to do” that “fans also want.”
Elizabeth added, “These movies aren’t for critics, these movies are for fans.”
Her comment would appear to be aimed at the ongoing conversations surrounding the idea of “superhero fatigue,” especially with recent MCU films like Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts underperforming.
She recalls her time playing Wanda fondly, saying, “It’s really fruitful, and the stories have only gotten better for me, my character. I really enjoyed it.”
“Some people have ongoing television series that they get to return to. Very few, I feel like, get to be a part of franchises that, I know we might culturally get a little bit exhausted by, but there is something about them that becomes very familial.”
“I do like that kind of consistency. It feels good. I mean, job security feels nice — I think we can all agree on that,” the Emmy nominee concluded.
Elizabeth recently talked about her voice-acting role as Wanda in the animated series Marvel Zombies, which she says she doesn’t remember recording.
