10 Actors Who Criticised Their Own Recent Movie Roles
2. Elizabeth Olsen As Wanda Maximoff - Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
Phase Four hasn't been particularly kind to Marvel Studios, with the likes of No Way Home and Shang-Chi being diamonds in more rough than the franchise is used to. One of the undeniable highlights of the post-Endgame MCU however, has been Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff.
The Scarlet Witch kicked off Phase Four with the utterly compelling WandaVision, before transitioning into the villain (and arguably best part) of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. But despite having a lot to do, Olsen wasn't completely satisfied with every aspect of the role.
While some actors like Tom Cruise take pride in the fact that they do their own stunts, this isn't an outlook shared by Olsen. As far as she's concerned, there's a professional stunt team on set for a reason, and in a chat with Stephen Colbert, she lamented the fact that one particular stunt didn't turn out so great because she was forced to do it herself:
"There is [a stunt] in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness where I had to be dropped from 30 feet up and land. They wanted to drop me pretty quickly so it looked like it had an impact, but I kept landing like Peter Pan. I was like, 'Just use the double - there is a double for a reason!'"
She added that the moment looks "ridiculous" in the final movie, and it does make you wonder why the stunt team wasn't used if she was having so much difficulty herself.
