Elizabeth Olsen Covers Variety As A Power of Women Honoree
Elizabeth Olsen is on the cover of the new issue of Variety. The actress is one of the outlet’s Power of Women honoree and is set to be honored on tomorrow, September 28. Highlights from her interview are below.
On her character, Wanda’s journey in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: “Well, this is quite a leap from the woman that I’ve been playing. At least in my experience, it’s been hard as a woman to express rage. It’s one of the most amazing feelings, because it’s so specific: You can know exactly why you’re angry.”
On falling back in love with acting in college: “Acting for me was always a study; it was never something you just did for a job. Choosing to go to NYU changed the course of my life. And it’s wild when you think about that.”
On how she use to approach her roles: “If I was available and there was a job offer and the character seemed like something I hadn’t done yet, I would say yes — that’s all it took. I was doing what I knew would get me a pass, but I wasn’t trying to go beyond that.”
