Elizabeth Olsen is not happy doing her stunts for her Marvel movie.
The actor recently revealed that he wanted the show’s actors to use stunt doubles for most of his action scenes, but they refused. Olsen also said she felt herself doing the stunt was ridiculous, because a body double would have done it better.
The actor is set to reprise his role in the series “Love and Death,” which is inspired by the true story of a brutal ax murder.

‘It’s Ridiculous’

During her appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Olsen talked about doing her part in Marvel’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”
Recalling the experience, he shared an instance where he was “dropped from 30 feet up and landed” so quickly that it “looked like it had an impact.” However, he “kept landing like Peter Pan, like a fence.”
Feeling offended by her acting, Olsen asked them to use a stunt double, but the show’s actors didn’t think it was necessary.
Olsen said, per Insider, “I was like, ‘Use double. This is so ridiculous — there are doubles for a reason. Like, change face….’ They do it all the time. And they use it. In the movie I’m Landing, I looked like Peter Pan. I look like I’m fenced. It’s ridiculous.”

Although Olsen did not carry out the scene as he wanted, the producers still used it as part of the film. At other times, he is also expected to do more stunts, which he does almost all of them in the film.
The actor said he felt a body double should have been used for all the action-packed scenes, just as he wanted for the high moments.
He said of the stunt, “I didn’t do all of them, but I did most of them, which wasted everyone’s time because stunt doubles do it better.”
According to Olsen, when he does his own stunts, he no longer feels dizzy because years of practice have killed that feeling.

Meanwhile, there is no confirmation from Marvel whether Scarlet Witch will grace the screen again.
The uncertainty surrounding the character doesn’t stop the actor from hoping it gets a new face and narrative if he appears in the MCU again.
“We can do anything with him now! I feel like we’ve done so much. Now, we can have fun; I think there should be more humor with it. He is often the emotion of the story, and I want to know what we can explore. And hopefully [we can] give him some redemption,” Olsen said Screen String.
And when she appeared on “The Today Show,” the actress revealed that she has yet to see the script for any of the new Scarlet Witch shoots, adding that there is “no contract” for her to play the character.
