Elizabeth Olsen Talks Rumored Hidden Messages in ‘WandaVision,’ Plus: That Nod to ‘Full House’
Marvel’s Wanda and Vision are headed for the suburbs in the new Disney+ show “WandaVision.”
“Extra’s” Rachel Lindsay caught up with star Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Scarlet Witch aka Wanda Maximoff, to get the scoop on the new show.
Rachel also asked if there was any truth to rumors that there are hidden messages in the sitcom-style show. She answered, “I think so, but I truly believe it goes above my head, though. When the trailer came out we were filming… I remember someone showed me something a fan had picked up on and I looked at it and said, ‘Oh, I didn’t know that… that’s so great we did that!’”
Lindsay also asked about a nod to “Full House,” the show that made her sisters Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen famous. Elizabeth said, “There is a nod. Our main reference for that episode that would live in ‘Full House’ land is ‘Family Ties,’ but there are nods. It is all very meta, it is all very funny how this turned out… I think there were some people on the crew that had worked with my sisters.”
Could her famous sisters, known as the Olsen Twins, appear in the show? Elizabeth laughed, saying, “No way.”
“WandaVision” premieres January 15.
