That may work wonderfully for an established actor, but I can imagine the MCU machine going "Ok, we'll move on and find someone else." for people who aren't.

Yeah, I love when people - celebs included - delude themselves into thinking any actor who isn't A list, especially actresses, genuinely have power in negotiations and on set. Kinda like when people thought Jenna Ortega worked with covid bc she demanded to.

I gotta be honest, I went like this when I read the title-

The Multiverse of Madness shoot sounds like it was a total shit show

“There was a point in making the movie where I just stopped reading drafts. I was like, this is just gonna change again, just keep me posted with the information I need. It was a wild ride.”

I like how she's coming out with "Hey, if you really want to join the MCU, here's how to fuck 'em over." now lol

God, I wish she weren't such a clueless asshole bc I find her so cute and charming.

I think when she said "I'm trying to make sure that our fans don't have to watch the same thing multiple times" was very pointed to how MoM was basically the same arc for Wanda back to back

Olsen has played Marvel’s Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, for eight years and counting.

Please, God, let's stop counting.

Her complaints about Marvel seem sympathetic on a surface level, but if you understand the full context (like the fact that she never should have been cast in the first placec), it is hard to feel bad for her.
