With the release of "Avengers: Age of Ultron" only three months away, Elizabeth Olsen, playing the role of the Scarlet Witch, teased new details regarding the film and its plot.
During a recent interview with Empire Magazine, the 25-year-old actress opened up about how she and the team managed to portray her character's complex, "mutant-like" powers. Olsen shares that one of the things she loved about the character is that she's new.
Without any previous portrayal of the Marvel character, the production team were able to create Wanda/ Scarlet Witch's movement from scratch.
"Joss [Whedon] was really inspired by dancers, and so he knew that he wanted to change visually how she moves, to be more like a dancer than a fighter," Olsen told Empire, via ComicBook. "I didn't really have to do much stunt training. Instead I trained with a dancer, Jenny White, which was its own kind of soreness, but it wasn't what I thought it would be."
The "Godzilla" actress also shares that in "Age of Ultron" the audience will learn and witness the growth of powers of "The Twins."
"Age of Ultron is almost our origin story, so we don't have one of those montages where heroes learn all of their powers in five minutes," shared Olsen. "We are still discovering the things we can and cannot do. The extent of her powers isn't fully explored in Ultron. But she can manipulate objects. And she has visions, and she has the ability to share them."
The trailer show Wanda and Pietro teaming up with Ultron. Olsen is quick to provide an explanation as to why they're against the mighty Avengers.
"Obviously there are plenty of countries in the world that hate America, for whatever history and pain they believe it has caused their own country and their own lives. That is the world we have created for Wanda and Pietro, to have been brought up in. What you're told a lot of times growing up is that that, country, those people, their way of living is the reason why we have been bombed. [The Avengers] are the worst evil in Wanda and Pietro's mind, not this guy who hasn't done anything yet," added the actress.
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" stars Elizabeth Olsen along with Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chris Hemsworth and the rest of the Avengers cast.
Catch the movie when it hits theaters May 1, 2015.
