Elizabeth Olsen is heading for her superhero movie debut in Marvel‘s 2015 sequel The Avengers: Age of Ultron. A source close to the situation tells Deadline she’s all but sealed for the pic and that her deal is “just a matter of formality before it’s done.” Marvel isn’t officially talking specifics but Samuel L. Jackson, the Avengers’ Nick Fury, confirmed Olsen’s casting as the Scarlet Witch during an interview with the WSJ. Olsen next appears in FilmDistrict’s Oldboy and is repped by The Gersh Agency, Brillstein Partners, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.

First off she's the Olsen twins younger sister. She's got bigger things ahead of her than in her current resume. Upcoming for her are Oldboy, and starring along side Avengers2 Quicksilver frontrunner and former Kick-ass Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Godzilla next year. By the time Avengers 2 comes out everyone will know her, good or bad.

Not who I had in mind but neither was ScarJo and that worked.

At the risk of starting a riot...she doesn't look Romanian, which is how I have always pictured Wanda.

"Agreed"

oops. Sorry about that. It's the "negative" icons that we no longer have.

I was just going to mention this. It wouldn't hurt to push a stronger ethnic look for SW & QS.

Off topic:
New Godzilla was filmed down the street from my house (that empty Vancouver lot gets used for so many "Hollywood" features...). Sets looked amazing.
Funny story about New Godzilla... during filming in a nearby suburb, the crew replaced the street signs with renamed "American" ones for shots in the film. Messed up traffic for weeks!

Also off-topic but the original comic-con teaser trailer for Godzilla leaked today. Warner Bros has been taking it down like crazy but if you get a chance to see it it's pretty great.

Yes, yes, but how does she look in a red gypsy/belly dancing costume?

What he said...if that's the monster then we're in for a treat!
