She’s curious to confer with her “WandaVision” costar Kathryn Hahn after the production of “Agatha,” which positions Hahn’s titular witch in the same way. Scarlet Witch in both, but one is the protagonist and one the antagonist. In “WandaVision” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” Olsen plays Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. Playing the off-kilter heroine is its own high-wire act. I remember having to be around so many extras and feeling so much pressure and so self-conscious. “It makes you feel a little stupid sometimes. “With those kinds of budgets, you end up having to be around hundreds of people you don’t know and interact with in this make-believe world,” she said. Working with them “made me feel exposed, like a liar or something.” Working on Gareth Edwards’ “Godzilla” nipped that fear in the bud. What has challenged her, she said, was an element designed to be unnoticed: background actors. Portraying complicated, even unlikable people doesn’t faze Olsen. There’s something about the way she says flavor that makes it sounds like a euphemism, maybe one used in her past that she’s now reclaimed. She laughs at that, a boisterous belly laugh rarely used in her characters. “I had a feeling I wasn’t gonna be the Sugar Plum Fairy because I didn’t have certain skills - I knew I had more flavor than I did technique,” she said. The desire for distinction dates back to her childhood - not in acting, but in dance, where Olsen said she consciously didn’t pursue certain parts. “On top of being an incredible human being, Lizzie has a generosity of spirit and as an actor, has the ability to allow us to travel deep inside of a character to show us something about the human condition.” “ Special is the exact word I would use to describe Lizzie,” “Love and Death” director Lesli Linka Glatter told IndieWire via email. “I don’t know if I ever want to play the hero.” “Love and Death” JAKE GILES NETTER/HBO Max “I feel like I’ll forever be in that,” Olsen said. So the question has to be asked of this particular actor, who’s also a known Taylor Swift fan: Is she in her antihero era? “Instead of judging, I would rather get behind them and understand them,” she said. It’s a fine sentiment, Olsen said, to think all women have that in them, but it’s infinitely more compelling to explore their multitudes. In the same way, she found herself wanting distance from women portrayed as traditionally maternal, nurturing, or sweet.

I don’t know how to be comfortable in my skin knowing that’s the purpose I’m serving, but I think most women who are ingenues maybe don’t think of themselves as such.” “I just don’t know how to be an ingenue,” she said. Olsen has built a career playing singular (if eccentric) women, and it’s as much a deliberate choice as it is her belief that she just isn’t right for other roles.
