Elizabeth Olsen Previews Scarlet Witch's Powers, Vision Romance in 'The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron'

Elizabeth Olsen portrays Scarlet Witch in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, which hits theaters on May 1. In a recent interview, the actress previews her character's powers, a romance with Paul Bettany's Vision, and more.

Olsen spoke to Empire Magazine and first spoke about Scarlet Witch's powers. "The coolest thing about Scarlet Witch is, because you've never seen her, we got to create how she moves," the actress said. "[Writer and director] 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. 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."

Next, Olsen talked about how The Avengers 2 serves as an origin story of sorts for her character and for Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Quicksilver.

"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," she said. "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." Olsen also confirmed that her character is "not a mutant."

Olsen also addressed how Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's upbringing affects their decision to ally with Baron von Strucker. "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," she said. "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."

As for a possible romance with The Vision, Olsen laughed and said "I don't know what you're talking about..."
