The upcoming 'Avengers: Infinity War' is set to bring the end of an era for many actors who've spent years of their careers working on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We were lucky enough to question Elizabeth Olsen about the evolution of her character, Scarlett Witch, and whether she'd be interested in Tessa Thompson's idea for an all-female Marvel film. Her response: "I hope she threw my name in the mix".
Paul Bettany, who we also managed to sit down with, agreed with Olsen when she revealed, "I think it's going to be sad if this is a sort of last chapter" of her time in the MCU. Speaking of his work with Marvel, Bettany mentioned how, "It's been a real gift in my life... a new experience".
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Just last November, 'Thor: Ragnarok' actress, Tessa Thompson revealed she and a few other female actresses had pitched an idea for a female only Marvel film to president Kevin Feige. The studio need only look to the comics for inspiration because there's a fair few impressive super-heroines in the Marvel catalogue. The most probable of groups seems to be the 'Lady Liberators', given that a few of the members like, the Wasp, Scarlett Witch and Black Widow have already made the transition to the screen.
Despite the lack of an official confirmation regarding the planned production, the actress is positive that "there's an interest - they're doing 'Captain Marvel', they're doing a 'Black Widow' - there's an interest in having women at the forefront of this phase. I feel like it's hopeful, who knows."
