In a candid interview with FM104, Olsen expressed her enthusiasm for revisiting the character of Scarlet Witch, emphasizing the importance of a well-crafted storyline. She stated, "It's a character that I love going back to when there's a way to use her well, and I think I have been lucky that when I started I was used well."
However, Olsen also highlighted a period of uncertainty within Marvel regarding her character's direction, mentioning, "I think people didn't know what to do with me for a second there – if there's a good way to use her I'm always happy to come back."
Reflecting on her career trajectory, Olsen acknowledged the need for diversity in her roles beyond the Marvel universe. She shared, "I'm trying to figure out... Because, specifically in the last four years, my output has been Marvel. I don't want ... it's not that I don't want to be associated as just this character. But I really feel like I need to be building other parts back up for balance."

Offering advice to fellow actors navigating the world of superhero franchises, Olsen recommended a strategic approach. She suggested, "Just give them one - that's what I say. 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."
