Elizabeth Olsen is an American actress, best known for her role as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), debuting in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). Born on February 16, 1989, in Sherman Oaks, California, she is the younger sister of twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who are also famous in the entertainment industry. Elizabeth’s early acting career included roles in smaller films, but she gained significant recognition for her breakout performance in Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011).
She has since starred in a variety of projects, including Godzilla (2014), Wind River (2017), and the Disney+ series WandaVision (2021), which earned her critical acclaim and several award nominations. Elizabeth is known for her versatility in both indie and blockbuster films, balancing big-budget roles with more intimate, dramatic performances.
Elizabeth Olsen says her ambition is to work with Oscar-winning actresses like Kate Winslet.
The 23-year-old has seen her career take off after appearing in Silent House and Martha Marcy May Marlene. Elizabeth wants to continue challenging herself and dreams of collaborating with her favourite female movie stars.
“To work with Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton or Kate Winslet,” she replied when asked what her biggest ambition is.
Elizabeth has a hectic work schedule at the moment. She is working on several movies which also star a host of big names.
“I’m playing Edie Parker, Jack Kerouac’s first wife in Kill Your Darlings, with Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg, I’m learning guitar for a movie with Dakota Fanning and I’m in Therese Raquin with Glenn Close – exciting!” Elizabeth gushed.
The star also revealed her interest in working on another horror film. Silent House saw Elizabeth play a character who is trapped inside her increasingly spooky family’s lakeside retreat. She loved making the movie – even if she can’t bear to watch her performance in it.
“I like the feeling of being scared, but if I imagine the horrible facial expressions I’m making, I’m embarrassed!” she exclaimed in an interview with a UK magazine.
