Olsen: Scarlet Witch is crazy

Elizabeth Olsen has opened up about her upcoming role in The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

The actress will take on the role of Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, in Joss Whedon's superhero sequel while Olsen's Godzilla co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson will play her brother Pietro - better known as Quicksilver.

In a recent interview with Ain't It Cool News, the actress revealed that the unpredictable mutant will be as interesting as she is in Marvel's comic books.

"She's nuts, she's crazy. She has more things wrong with her than any character I've ever played," said Olsen.

"She can tell you where an object has been, she can tell you what your future is, she can connect with the dead and people from other universes, and she's the only person in this universe who's capable of doing that.

"She's unbelievable; it's so cool. I grew up loving Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, and anything that has this other type of world or universe to it is so fun."

In stark contrast, Olsen will play a much more grounded character in Godzilla.

"It’s Aaron Taylor-Johnson's film, but the ensemble, we all are somehow connected to Aaron's character," she added when asked about Gareth Edwards' remake.

"He's the root, and I play his wife and I'm the person who holds down the San Francisco prospective of it all. I'm a nurse and I work trying take care of this chaos. 'Godzilla' is just so deserving of a good American remake, and I really hope we did it and I really feel like we did."
