Elizabeth Olsen is not a fan how of Marvel signs actors up for multiple movies once they agree to play a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The actress has appeared in numerous MCU projects as Wanda, including her own television series on Disney +, WandaVision. The character's fate was unclear at the conclusion of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in which Scarlett Witch was the primary antagonist.
She made her MCU debut in a post-credits scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
It is commonplace for performers to agree multi-picture deals to play comic book characters these days, but Olsen believes that idea should be scrapped so actors can pursue other projects.
"Just give them one — that's what I say," she said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

"Let's say you're like, 'Oh my God, this was the most fun I've ever had, and I love this character so much I want to do it again,' you now have more creative control for the next one."
In a previous interview with the New York Times, Olsen explained how she lost a role in The Lobster due to her commitments to the MCU.
"It took me away from the physical ability to do certain jobs that I thought were more aligned with the things I enjoyed as an audience member," she recalled.
"And this is me being the most honest. I started to feel frustrated. I had this job security but I was losing these pieces that I felt were more part of my being. And the further I got away from that, the less I became considered for it."
Olsen doesn't miss playing Wanda
When asked by Variety if she misses appearing in Marvel movies, she replied:
"Do I miss it? I don't miss it. I just did two years straight of it.
"I think the break's been good for me. I need to build other characters. It's important for me. I'm grateful for this show (Love & Death), the show came at a great time, it was after playing Wanda for two years straight, and then I had to talk about it for a whole other year. So it's nice having something else to focus on and highlight and talk about."
Olsen has previously stated a desire to one day play Wanda again. However, she isn't involved in any Marvel projects currently.
"I'm not doing anything for Marvel right now," she insisted.
"Nothing, and it's not that I'm trying to be cheeky. They'll let me know when they'll let me know. I have no idea. Right now, I'm really unemployed."
