Elizabeth Olsen appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show on Wednesday to talk about her new film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is set to enter cinemas this weekend.
During her interview with Fallon, Olsen, who is reprising her role as Wanda Maximoff, or Scarlet Witch, in the sequel to 2016’s Doctor Strange, said that she avoids attending premieres because she is afraid of failing.
“I just decided I can’t watch these Marvel movies at a premiere anymore,” Olsen shared. “Every time I watch it and I look around me and I’m like ‘Well, it’s our first flop’ — like, every time, I just think, ‘It’s our first flop.’”
“I saw ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and I looked around me and said, ‘Is it our first flop?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know. I don’t know about this one,’” Olsen said of the 2019 blockbuster film, which grossed nearly $3 billion at the worldwide box office to become the second-highest grossing movie of all-time.
Fallon made sure to tell Olsen that the latest Doctor Strange chapter had received largely excellent reviews.
“It is so not a flop,” Fallon said. “And you are getting great reviews, by the way. You just pop; you’re stunning in this thing.”
