Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Wanda Maximoff aka The Scarlet Witch, spoke about transferring her character’s storyline from the hit series WandaVision into the new movie.
Madness is one of the first Marvel features to see a storyline from the superhero powerhouse’s Disney+ series be carried into a tentpole film. That’s really, I think, the secret to the success of Marvel.” “And it’s really wonderful that he sees to the integrity of the characters. “It’s brilliant to come back 20 years later and see how everything has evolved and see that Kevin Feige, who was just an assistant on the Spider-Man movies, came to great prominence and came to rule the Marvel universe,” Raimi tells THR. The iconic director opened up about returning to the Marvel world of superheroes for Madness two decades later. Ironically, Raimi’s Spider-Man turned 20 on Tuesday.
Raimi directed Sony’s original Spider-Man trilogy back in the 2000s. “Any Sam Raimi fan is going to have the most amazing nostalgic hit of shock horror, jump scares and everything else that’s his trademark in horror, but also how he handles a complex storyline, rich character deal, evolution with those characters as well from his Spider-Man trilogy.” “I think Sam’s just got the combination of superhero-dom and horror, and that’s what you’ll see hopefully sort of being expressed in this film and the tone of it,” Cumberbatch tells THR.
