Avengers 2: Elizabeth Olsen Talks Scarlet Witch

Now that the chatter has been confirmed in the Wall Street Journal that "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and "Silent House" star Elizabeth Olsen is indeed playing the role of Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. Scarlet Witch-in writer/director Joss Whedon's superhero team up sequel "The Avengers: Age of Ultron"--The actress is free to talk about her involvement.

A big part of the appeal of the pic is that she gets to reunite with her "Godzilla" redux co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson who plays her twin brother Quicksilver in 'Ultron'...

 
Olsen tells MTV:

"It's so fun even though in 'Godzilla' we play husband and wife, we didn't have a lot of scenes together. I just love him. I love his family. I love his kids. I'm so excited to actually work with each other. I think it's going to be fun."

American Horror Story favorite Evan Peters plays a different incarnation of the speedy superhero in Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past"--now in post-production--that film hits screens May 23rd 2014.

Olsen says that she has talked with Joss: "He's very smart. He's too smart. He might be too smart. Some people are too smart for their own good, but he's amazing."

While the sequel DOES NOT follow the Age of Ultron comics storyline--in which the big bad Ultron was created by Hank Pym who becomes Ant-Man. James Spader will both voice Ultron, and he'll have to do some kind of motion-capture as well--This news puts to rest the most popular theory suggesting that Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr,) robot butler J.A.R.V.I.S. (voiced by Paul Bettany) operating system from the Iron Man Films would turn into the villain.

Marvel vets RDJ, Chris Evans Chris Hemsworth Scarlett Johansson Samuel L. Jackson Jeremy Renner Mark Ruffalo, Clark Gregg and Cobie Smulders who are all expected back

Production on the 'Avengers' sequel is slated to begin in March to meet a release date of May 1, 2015
