Elizabeth Olsen told InStyle magazine<\/a> as part of a new cover story that she is no longer signing on to Hollywood studio movies that don\u2019t have a guaranteed theatrical release. As an indie film darling since the start of her career with 2011\u2019s \u201cMartha Marcy May Marlene,\u201d Olsen is comfortable acting in a movie without distribution that gets sold to a streamer. But her preference is always a theatrical release.<\/p>\n \u201cIf a movie is made independently and only sells to a streamer, then\u00a0fine. But I don\u2019t want to make something where [streaming is] the end-all,\u201d Olsen said. \u201cI think it\u2019s important for people to gather as a community, to see other humans, be together in a space. That\u2019s why I like sports. I think it\u2019s really powerful for people to come together for something that they\u2019re excited about. We don\u2019t even audition in person anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n Since her last outing as the Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe courtesy of 2022\u2019s \u201cDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,\u201d Olsen has made only indie movies such as 2023\u2019s \u201cHis Three Daughters,\u201d 2024\u2019s \u201cThe Assessment\u201d and the upcoming A24 romantic comedy \u201cEternity.\u201d Only \u201cHis Three Daughters\u201d was backed by a streamer (in this case Netflix), although it was given an awards-qualifying theatrical release in select theaters.<\/p>\n Olsen knows a thing or two about bringing millions of people together in movie theaters thanks to the MCU, where she\u2019s played Scarlet Witch since debuting in the post-credits scene of 2014\u2019s \u201cCaptain America: The Winter Soldier.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMaking the films are fun. Goofy. It\u2019s ridiculous. We\u2019re grown people like children on a playground,\u201d Olsen told InStyle<\/a> about the MCU. \u201cWe\u2019re flying. We\u2019re shooting things out of our hands. And it\u2019s a character that I\u2019ve gotten to return to so many times after over 10 years. It\u2019s good to put her down and then I miss\u00a0 her and I want her back. I\u2019d jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again.\u201d<\/p>\n Olsen added about the pros of the MCU, \u201cIt\u2019s the consistency of a community and a job, which is hard to find. The insane camera movement, stunt work and special effects, visual effects that are happening in real time. It\u2019s a lot of coordination, it\u2019s hundreds and hundreds of people on set, and it\u2019s a powerful thing to be a part of all those people working towards one goal. The people doing the visual effects are artists\u2026 The soul, the spirit, the heart is fulfilled doing it. It does mean something. I care about the acting being great \u2014 everyone does.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cDoctor Strange\u201d sequel remains Olsen\u2019s last in-person Marvel appearance as Scarlet Witch. She was recently featured as a voice role on the Disney+ animated series \u201cMarvel Zombies.\u201d Her next film is \u201cEternity,\u201d co-starring Miles Teller and Callum Turner. The A24 film puts a fantasy spin on the rom-com genre by being set in an afterlife where the recently deceased have one week to decide who to spend eternity with. Olsen\u2019s Joan must decide between her first love or the man she built her life with.<\/p>\n \u201cEternity\u201d opens in theaters this Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n Best of Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Variety’s Newsletter<\/a>.
