Elizabeth Olsen recently explained Scarlet Witch’s evolving accent in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and revealed her Sokovian accent will return in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
One of the biggest mysteries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Scarlet Witch’s accent. In Age of Ultron, Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff had a noticeable accent, but as the films have gone on, it’s faded away by the time we get to the final Avengers films. Agatha Harkness even brought this up in WandaVision, and now Olsen has explained the changes.
During a recent piece from Rolling Stone about WandaVision, Elizabeth Olsen opened up about the evolution of Wanda’s accent and explained why her Sokovian accent will be back in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness:
“So that started with Civil War. 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, 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.”
