The Scarlet Witch has had some impractical costumes for an Avenger with incalculable magic powers. Fortunately for Elizabeth Olsen, who will be playing Wanda Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron, her costume won't require her to flash so much skin. She tells Total Film...
Olsen: "I don’t think Joss ever would have hired me, honestly, if he wanted me to wear those outfits," she says. "I am not a professional athlete and nor am I a model. Wearing those costumes wouldn’t be fun for anyone who wasn’t those things. He already had a different idea. It respects and involves the comic book character, but it’s different. More rooted. It’s for someone today… If someone walked around wearing what she wore in the comics, people would stop and say, ‘What the hell… she thinks she’s a superhero!'"
Actually, most people would say "Who's the tramp in the slutty genie outfit?" The Avengers already have one woman in tight spandex so it's good that Whedon is going in a different direction with Scarlet Witch.Meanwhile, there may be one more sexy lady joining the team as Latino Review says End of Watch and Under the Dome star Natalie Martinez has met for an unspecified role. They suggest it could be for Ms. Marvel or possibly even Hawkeye's wife, the Avenger known as Mockingbird. My guess is it's neither, and if she even comes aboard it will be for a minor part.
We'll see what happens. Production is underway now in Johannesburg, leading some to speculate the Black Panther's African nation of Wakanda will be part of the story. We'll see on that, too. Avengers: Age of Ultron opens May 1st 2015.
