While at Godzilla's press
junket, Screenrant got to talk with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen,
aka Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Olsen was asked what's like
to pretend that the guy she kissed in Godzilla is now playing her twin brother
in Age of Ultron.
Elizabeth Olsen: It’s awesome! [Laughs] You know,
we only did a few scenes together for [Godzilla], but we spent time together in
Vancouver, and I got to know his family, and we spent time together. And to
play really tight twin brother and sister, it’s really lucky it’s not with some
guy I jut met or something. I think we both like the fact that we have this
other film [Godzilla] in our repertoire.
In past interviews the
actress revealed that she is thoroughly researching the comics where her
character appears, but it seems that her research doesn't end there.
Elizabeth Olsen: With ‘Avengers’, for me it was
just like ‘Throw it all in!’ and just like read. And I’m still reading comics,
and I love looking at fan pages for something like that. I think for something
like a comic book character, that’s something else… But I’m also the first
human interpretation of the Scarlet Witch, so you want to be able to honor
cartoons and comics and fans and all of that. But bring your own thing to it
that you’re creating. So that’s been a really fun process… But it’s awesome
because she’s dope.
The actress then compared
working on her first big CGI film (Godzilla) versus Joss Whedon's Avengers 2.
Elizabeth Olsen: It such a different world. It’s so
crazy. The main difference is that in ‘Godzilla’ you’re reacting to something
that isn’t there, and in something like ‘Avengers’, you’re approaching and
almost interacting with something that’s not there. [Pauses then laughs]. And
so that’s what the main difference is for me, right now.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson spoke
briefly about his process when shooting a movie.
Taylor-Johnson: I don’t sort of narrow myself down
into any sort of like pocket of genre. I literally just go on the back of the
filmmaker and the character, you know? I have to feel that character, believe
that character, relate to him, so on… And the filmmaker is hugely important,
because at the end of the day it’s their vision, and you’re going to spend
three, six months in that world.
The actor then spoke about his struggle to revisit a character in a sequel.
Taylor-Johnson: I think I’d breach those when it
comes to the sequels… I guess so, you know? [Laughs] I’m just taking it one day
at a time.
Is this an indication that he will return for another MCU movie after Avengers 2?
At the end of Captain
America: The Winter Soldier, in the mid-credit scene, we get our first official
look at three characters from Avengers 2, Baron Wolfgang von Strucker played by
Thomas Kretschmann, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who in the clip is displaying
her telekinetic powers.
Elizabeth Olsen: What am I doing [in the clip]?
Whatever it looks like [Laughs]. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say Anything! I’m so terrified about everything Marvel!
