Scarlet Witch is one of the heaviest hitters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a major power musician in Avengers : Infinity War , but there ’s one thing about the theatrical role that ’s been ( truly ) bugging actress Elizabeth Olsen : her costume .
In a late consultation withEllemagazine , Olsen speak about why she think Marvel is making the MCU a more inclusive space overall with better on - screen diversity , and how she was hype to wreak with Infinity War ’s stunt choreographer to expand on theScarlet Witch ’s combat panache . But when it comes to her costume , the actress is of the strong opinion that the clock time has come for Wanda to put on something more than just a girdle and some gasp :
“ I like corsets , but I ’d like it to be high . Everyone has these things that cover them — Tessa Thompson does , Scarlett [ Johansson ] does . I would wish to enshroud up a piece . It ’s funny because sometimes I look around and I ’m just like — wow , I ’m the only one who has segmentation , and that ’s a incessant joke because they have n’t really evolve my superhero costume that much .
But then you look at where it started in the mirthful books and it was a leotard and a headband so … oh , it ’s horrible , it ’s so ugly . So at least they know that ’s not coolheaded . ”
corset are very much a part of Wanda ’s canonic aesthetic , but Olsen has a point . It makes absolutely no sense that she would go into struggle with her segmentation exposed because that ’s the variety of physical vulnerability that would quickly get a person killed . manifestly , translating a comic book of account costume like Scarlet Witch ’s is a intimidating task yield how ludicrous it is , but that does n’t mean that Marvel should be contented with just give her an variety of toughened lingerie to wear while fighting and telephone it a daytime .
There are plenty of ways to incorporate the idea of sensuality into a reference that does n’t imply giving them a costume with a plunging , impractical neckline , especially when they ’re already wearing sort - fitting leather pants . Illustrator Andy Park design a number of concept costume for Scarlet Witch ’s appearance in Captain America : Civil War and the rank standout of the bunch smartly cover her chest up while also channeling the part ’s classic witchy vibration .
The only thing lack ? A deluxe , awe - inspiring cape . Here ’s to hope that if and when Wanda and Shuri eventually meet , the Wakandan princess takes one look at the Avenger ’s costume , chuckles to herself about hating corsets , and decides to help her fellow hero out with some unexampled duds .
