Elizabeth Olsen, the best Marvel Cinematic Universe villain<\/a> and a vocal champion in the fight against movies made only for streaming<\/a>, burst into notoriety in the early 2010s with a wild string of movies. Before she joined the MCU as Wanda\u00a0“Scarlet Witch”\u00a0Maximoff, she already had an impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9\u00a0that ranged from the excellent 2011 psychological thriller “Martha Marcy May Marlene”\u00a0and the 2012 romantic dramedy “Liberal Arts”\u00a0to the 2013 US remake of “Oldboy”\u00a0and Gareth Edwards’ 2014 take on “Godzilla.”<\/p>\n Amidst all this and\u00a0impressively\u00a0<\/em>early in her career (let’s all just quietly agree that those two mid-1990s child actor cameos in older siblings Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s\u00a0projects don’t count), Olsen managed to land a significant role in a movie starring none other than Robert De Niro. The film in question is “Red Lights” (2012),\u00a0a supernatural thriller that puts Olsen in the company of not only De Niro, but Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver, Toby Jones, and a slew of other greats … and in a pretty hefty role, no less.<\/p>\n Granted, you’re unlikely to find “Red Lights”\u00a0on a list of De Niro’s 15 best movies<\/a> any time soon \u2014 and chances are that the critically lambasted film will have a hard time making it on any of those other actors’ best-of lists, either. Still, when you consider that Olsen was just starting out at the time, it’s impressive that she was already operating on this level.<\/p>\n
