There is little doubt that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had a lot of big moments for Scarlet Witch. However, it looks like Elizabeth Olsen didn't get to enjoy the fun part of these scenes. The WandaVision actress has just revealed that she never got to meet two of the film's major stars despite sharing an awesome scene with them!
WARNING! DOCTOR STRANGE 2 SPOILERS AHEAD!
In Doctor Strange 2, Scarlet Witch took over the body of her Earth-838 variant to infiltrate the Illuminati and attempts to capture America Chavez. She is confronted by some of the members of the Illuminati, which includes Captain Carter (Peggy Carter), Black Bolt (Blackagar Boltagon), Captain Marvel (Maria Rambeau), Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards), and Professor X (Charles Xavier) but they are all defeated.
Not surprisingly, fans loved how Scarlet Witch ripped into the members of the Illuminati, easily defeating Mister Fantastic and Professor X. However, Elizabeth Olsen has just revealed to Cinemablend that she never filmed her scenes with John Krasinski and Patrick Stewart, who played Reed Richards and Charles Xavier, respectively.
"I've never met them," Olsen said when asked how she felt about meeting the actors. She then had a simple explanation as to how that was possible: "Movie magic!"
This isn't a huge surprise considering that Marvel Studios is known for being very secretive about major details like big cameos like this. In addition to that, Doctor Strange 2 was shot mostly during the pandemic and it was a safe option to film scenes separately. With that in mind, it's unfortunate that the stars never got to physically work together in most of the scenes.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Xochitl Gomez, Benedict Wong, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. The film is still screening in theaters worldwide.
