Elizabeth Olsen revealed that Wanda Maximoff will carry her Sokovian accent in her next appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
"So that started with Civil War," Olsen told to Rolling Stone on the topic of Wanda Maximoff's constantly shifting accent. "The Russos [directors Anthony and Joseph Russo] said, 'Can she just have a softer accent, because she’s been in America, and has to have been speaking English more.' So I was like, sure. I do have to say that in [Wanda's next appearance, in 2022's] Dr. Strange [in the Multiverse of Madness], after the experience she has in WandaVision, she goes back to an accent that's more true to her."
"Now that I feel a little bit more ownership of the character," Olsen continued. "I feel like she does retreat back to having this more honest expression. The sitcom part was totally different, because she's trying to hold on to an American sitcom world and play the part the best she can."
Olsen began portraying the character Wanda Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the 2015 film Avengers: Age of Ultron. Since then, Olsen has reprised the role in three different feature films as well as in her own solo miniseries on Disney+ entitled WandaVision. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will serve as the character's next appearance in the franchise, but no concrete information has been revealed over what kind of role she will play in the production.
Directed by Sam Raimi, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Xochitl Gomez. The film arrives in theaters March 25, 2022.
