WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen said she prefers 2018's Avengers: Infinity War over 2019's Avengers: Endgame.
Olsen, who stars as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlett Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, told CinemaBlend that Endgame was more confusing to her than Infinity War. "Well, I feel more connected to Infinity War, because I got to experience more of it. Endgame, I was confused," the actor said. "Because I was like, ‘Where did I just come from?’"
The 19th film set within the MCU, Avengers: Infinity War, showed heroes from across the MCU banding together to stop the Mad Titan, Thanos. After an exciting battle in Wakanda between Thanos' army and the Avengers, the villain retrieved all the Infinity Stones, allowing him to "snap" half of all life in the universe out of existence.
In Avengers: Endgame, audiences joined the remaining Avengers as they try to move on with their lives, following Thanos' snap. However, when Tony Stark discovers a way to travel back in time, the Avengers decided to stop Thanos before he ever gets the Infinity Stones. This would culminate in our heroes eventually bringing back everyone that had been snapped back out of existence to take on Thanos' army.
While both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame did well among critics and audience members, Endgame received a slightly higher Rotten Tomatoes score at 95% compared to Infinity War's 85%. Additionally, Endgame has made over $2.798 billion globally, making it the highest-grossing film of all time with Infinity War being the fourth highest-grossing film of all time.
Elizabeth Olsen made her first MCU appearance in 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier and would also appear in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron and 2016's Captain America: Civil War. The actor will reprise her role in WandaVision, which is set to release on the Disney streaming app, Disney+.
In addition to WandaVision, Olsen will also appear as Scarlett Witch in the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Both WandaVision and Doctor Strange 2 will be part of the MCU's Phase Four.
WandaVision stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as Vision, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Kathryn Hahn as Agnes. The series premieres Jan. 15 on Disney+.
