Elizabeth Olsen will join the Avengers crew as Scarlet Witch in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and she recently chatted with Total Film about the costume of her new character.
We’ve done some costume stuff, yeah! My favourite piece is my secrecy cloak that prevents anyone from seeing what I’m wearing. There’s a hood, and a robe – it protects the image! I don’t think Joss ever would have hired me, honestly, if he wanted me to wear those outfits; I am not a professional athlete and nor am I a model. Wearing those costumes wouldn’t be fun for anyone who wasn’t those things. He already had a different idea. It respects and involves the comic-book character but it’s different, more rooted. It’s for someone today.” “Well, if someone walked around wearing what she wore in the comics, people would stop and say, ‘What the hell… she thinks she’s a superhero!
It makes sense. Sometimes you just got to update the costumes to bring them to life. Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters July 1st, 2015.
