Elizabeth Olsen Doesn't Want A Solo Scarlet Witch Movie

By Daniel Falconer in Movies / TV / Theatre on 08 April 2018

Elizabeth Olsen says both she and Marvel Studios aren't pushing the idea of a solo Scarlet Witch flick.

There's not been much chatter surrounding a potential Scarlet Witch solo movie, and it would seem that's for good reason. Actress Elizabeth Olsen, who plays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, isn't actually all that bothered about getting her own film outing. She even insists that those at Marvel Studios aren't too excited about any potential opportunity.

Scarlet Witch may not be one of the most talked-about characters from the MCU, but that doesn't mean she's an uninteresting one. Despite being the daughter of Magneto in Marvel Comics, those at Marvel Studios decided to take away her mutant connection before flinging the character into the Avengers.

The actress is to head a new dramedy series on the recently launched service Facebook Watch.

Mark Zuckerberg is poised to take on the world of instant entertainment, recently launching his own streaming service on Facebook, aptly called Facebook Watch. Though the platform is one that's been available for a number of months now, not much has been revealed about the future of original programming on the service, but now we're getting our first dose of exciting information regarding the future. It's worth noting that, for now, Facebook Watch is available only for Facebook users in the United States.

Wind River Review

Excellent

After writing the superb Sicario and Hell or High Water, Taylor Sheridan moves back into the director's chair for this thriller, which mixes a real-life issue with a compelling procedural mystery. It's a gorgeously shot film with especially well-developed characters who bring intensity and emotion to every scene. And they're expertly played by Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen.

It's set on the Wind River native American reservation in Wyoming, a spectacular mountain landscape under a blanket of winter snow. An 18-year-old woman (Kelsey Asbille in flashbacks) has been found murdered in the wilderness, and FBI agent Jane (Olsen) has arrived to investigate. With no experience in this kind of situation, she gets help from local Fish & Wildlife officer Cory (Renner) as well as the reservation sheriff Ben (Graham Greene). But Cory is finding this case very difficult, as the victim was the best friend of his daughter, who was killed two years ago. This gives Cory a special desire to solve the case, no matter where it leads.

Without ever getting flashy, the plot grinds along with a variety of revelations that continually add more detail to the case, characters and, most intriguingly, community. Local customs and practices continually add unexpected wrinkles, all of which guides the very specific journeys Cory and Jane are taking through this situation. So in addition to a pointed comment on the situation of native Americans in US society, the film is also a powerfully introspective drama about two people travelling their own paths through this terrain.

Elizabeth Olsen talks about her new film Wind River

In the mystery thriller Wind River, Elizabeth Olsen plays Jane Banner, a federal officer investigating a murder on a Native American reservation with a Fish and Wildlife agent (Jeremy Renner). Written and directed by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario), it was a gruelling project that involved harsh weather and quite a lot of physical preparation.

Wild Life starring Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner

"I worked with a Green Beret and I got to go to the gun range every weekend," Olsen says of the months before filming began, during which she studied martial arts, self-defence and weapons handling. She thinks this helped her understand Jane's tenacity. "I really admire her belief in her own abilities and bravery. I'm someone who is a fear-based person, so it's a quality that I wish I had more of."

Wind River - Trailer and Clips

US Fish and Wildlife Service agent Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) is an expert hunter and tracker living amongst the snowy terrain of Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. He's used to freezing temperatures and animal corpses, but when he discovers the body of a dead girl while out doing his usual tour of the landscape on his snowmobile, he enlists the help of the town's chief of police who brings in an FBI agent named Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen). Unfortunately, she isn't quite the agent they were expecting and, being from Florida, is far from familiar with this kind of weather. But when it becomes clear that they have a homicide on their hands, the three of them band together to uncover the identity of the assailant - or, indeed, assailants.

I Saw The Light - In The Studio Clip

Hank Williams was one of the most iconic country stars America has ever seen, moving crowds to their feet (and often to tears) with such hits as 'Lovesick Blues', 'Hey Good Lookin'' and 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'. But away from the mic stand, his life was often in turmoil. Plagued by crippling chronic back pain from his spina bifida occulta, he found himself repeatedly drawn to alcohol which made figures in the music industry refuse to work with him, and later other substances including painkillers and morphine prescribed by a fraudulent doctor. If that wasn't bad enough, his love life was hardly blissful either; both his marriages were marred by legal misfortunes and can only be described as tumultuous and unstable. By his 20s he had developed heart problems, which ultimately led to the saddening and untimely demise of one of country music's most unforgettable legends.
