Whoa call Uncle Jesse, and Joey, and Kimmy Gibbler and....oh shit wrong Olsen.
Joss Whedon confirmed several weeks ago that the character of Scarlet Witch would appear in The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Although actress Saoirse Ronan was offered the part, she passed, leaving Whedon to go after his second choice--Elizabeth Olsen.
This report comes via "Bleeding Cool" and while nothing is set in stone yet, I'm encouraged by the news. Elizabeth Olsen certainly has more dedication and focus on acting than her older sisters (New York Minute anyone?) and has really made a name for herself in Indie films like Silent House and Martha Marcy May Marlene. Plus she's not averse to summer tentpole films, as she'll star in next summer's Godzilla. I could see this being an excellent role for her.
Olsen's next film Oldboy releases November 27th while The Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters May 1, 2015.
