Elizabeth Olsen Details Being Frustrated With Marvel Contracts Preventing Other Acting Opportunities

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now playing in theatres, and it’s had a successful first week at the box office. The movie currently has a 75% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 87% audience score. ComicBook.com’s Jenna Anderson gave the movie a 4 out of 5 and called it “an inventive, outrageous turning point for the MCU.” The sequel sees the return of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, and more. However, it’s not always easy being a Marvel star. Olsen recently admitted to The New York Times that MCU contracts can sometimes take away from other acting gigs. Olsen was up for a role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster back in 2015 and says losing the role was a “heartbreak.” She added, “I was in a contract [for Marvel] I could not get out of. So that didn’t work out.”
