Elizabeth Olsen on her Scarlet Witch costume in The Avengers: Age of Ultron

February 13, 2014 by admin

With production getting underway on The Avengers: Age of Ultron in South Africa this week, we should expect to hear plenty from the hotly-anticapted sequel over the coming weeks and months; we’ve already had a few words from Marvel chief Kevin Feige on Black Widow’s role in the film [see here], and now we’ve got some comments from MCU newcomer Elizabeth Olsen, who’s set to bring another female superhero to life in the Scarlet Witch. Speaking to Total Film (via Superhero Movie News), Olsen responded to a question about whether her costume will resemble the Scarlet Witch’s traditional comic book outfits…

“We’ve done some costume stuff, yeah! My favourite piece is my secrecy cloak that prevents anyone from seeing what I’m wearing. There’s a hood, and a robe – it protects the image! I don’t think Joss ever would have hired me, honestly, if he wanted me to wear those outfits; I am not a professional athlete and nor am I a model. Wearing those costumes wouldn’t be fun for anyone who wasn’t those things. He already had a different idea. It respects and involves the comic-book character but it’s different, more rooted. It’s for someone today.” “Well, if someone walked around wearing what she wore in the comics, people would stop and say, ‘What the hell… she thinks she’s a superhero!’”

The Avengers: Age of Ultron is set for release on May 1st 2015 with a cast that includes returning MCU stars Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Mark Ruffalo (The Incredible Hulk), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Paul Bettany (JARVIS / The Vision) alongside new additions Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass 2) as Quicksilver, James Spader (The Blacklist) as Ultron and Thomas Kretschmann (Dracula) as Baron Strucker.
