Hi, Elizabeth. How are you? I'm good.
How are you doing?
I'm good, thank you. I've gone red just for you.
Yes, it's Scarlet.
Witch - why not?
Thank you.
Congratulations on the film. Thanks.
It's been a long journey for Wanda from when you started in 2015
with Age of Ultron
Now, coming up, we can now say the Scarlet Witch, you've now got the costume.
What's the most surprising thing that you found on your own?
Your journey for the last seven years? Playing. Playing this character.
I think the most surprising thing was just making Wandavision
I think that was a shock because it was also television
on a streaming service that didn't exist.
Until a couple of years ago or a year and a half ago now.
So I think that was something that was completely surprising.
And the fact that I'm still here, I didn't sign up for nine movies or whatever.
So I, I have, I just keep coming back and I'm always surprised every time.
Have you been surprised by the reaction to Wandavision?
Because people have really taken to that took to that show
and it really kind of pushed the boundaries
as to what Marvel could do and what the characters could do.
And in this kind of new, new format, you start still kind of pinching yourself,
the fact that it's been embraced so, so well by fans.
Completely.
I think any time as an actor, you have something that even just like
does remotely well, you're surprised because you're just so used to rejection.
And so that I still I still feel
really moved by and
not moved, but shocked as well from the reaction.
And we really
having a good time doing our job and really having a joyful
experience is isn't always consistent.
And so to have such a joyful experience also has such a positive outcome
with and was fulfilling as well.
Yeah.
And now you're in the multiverse of madness and you
it seems to get you got all together the hand actors all together
in one room as you the two Benedicts there's now a few other people.
Is there
has it evolved as per
the things that you were doing in the first film that you did,
has that now evolved to what you're doing?
Because it's very specific what you and Benedict
and now I've seen
you guys have like lights on your hands as well while you're doing it.
That's a new thing. And I was like, what's the point of this?
I guess it helps the reflection of, of, of what this would be on our faces.
But that's so silly.
I mean, they've been able to figure it out without that.
But anyway, it is it's, it is specific.
And it started with it started before Ultron.
It started with that tag scene and Winter Soldier.
And I keep trying to refer back to other films as well.
Different elements
so that there is evolution, but there also could be things that fans would enjoy.
And I think we saw some of that in Wandavision
and it does continue to evolve, especially I think we're in this space with her
finally having this confidence of being the Scarlet Witch
and fulfilling her destiny of being this scarlet witch, this mythic character.
And and so there's a new sense of
of ownership of what she does in a way.
And we see a bit of that an end game, I think, as well.
But I do think there's there's
there's there is a new confidence in her her physicality.
But we basically all just look like fools while we're filming
and also,
I know I've seen videos of you talking about Wanda's journey in the comic books.
And, you know, Marvel and Marvel fans are always talking up things.
They want to see certain things. They hope to see certain things.
You have to keep things secret.
But are you still hopeful
that somewhere down the line that the immortal three words or the Dr.
Doom stuff or the Magneto stuff, are you hopeful
that maybe one day paths will cross in a little bit different way?
The MCU kind of does the.
Yes, I mean, I hope so.
I I do.
I'm excited for all the crossovers in the future.
I do think this film opens up lots of opportunities with the multiverse.
But yeah, the immortal words are I mean, those those too.
I would love to be able to see them in some capacity to make it work for them.
To you
again, I I never know what we're doing next,
so I'm always just kind of like in these interviews, just saying
whatever sounds cool to me as well.
But yeah, it's
not in anyone's control besides Kevin Feige. Indeed, I think
if you were ever to say those three words, that's the end of the Internet.
The end of the world.
I that's it.
Elizabeth, thanks so much for your time.
Absolute pleasure.
Good luck with the film. Thank you. And thanks for the lighting.
