Her comments come almost a year after she got candid about spending nearly a decade playing Wanda Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, noting that there was a time where she felt discouraged due to spending so much time playing superheroes.
“I started to feel frustrated,” Elizabeth told the New York Times in May. “I had this job security but I was losing these pieces that I felt were more part of my being. And the further I got away from that, the less I became considered for it.”
The Love and Death star even expressed where she saw it was limiting her career.
“It [Marvel] took me away from the physical ability to do certain jobs that I thought were more aligned with the things I enjoyed as an audience member,” Elizabeth said. “And this is me being the most honest.”
However, she made it through that rocky period, ultimately continuing Wanda’s journey in a television setting in the acclaimed 2021 miniseries WandaVision. As for what that experience was like?
“We thought what we were doing was so weird and didn’t know if we had an audience for it, so there was a freedom to it,” she added. “There was no pressure, no fear. It was a really healthy experience.”
