Due to a Disney watermark on the screener, Elizabeth Olsen declined to watch Dr. Strange 2
Key Takeaways:
- The box office cash registers started ringing while Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness made its theatrical debut to ecstatic reviews.
While Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness debuted in theatres to rave acclaim, the box office cash registers started ringing. Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Wanda Maximoff or the Scarlet Witch in the movie, admitted that she has not yet seen the movie.
Due to a cold, the actor first missed the premiere. Later, she refused to watch the screeners supplied to her because of a watermark that was "distracting" enough to prevent her from watching the movie at all.
Benedict Cumberbatch's Dr. Strange (in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) was attempting to contain the effects of the multiverse-fracturing spell he cast in the 2021 blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home, which let villains from all over the multiverse infiltrate the main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.
On The Tonight Show featuring Jimmy Fallon, Elizabeth confessed. I'm not one of those [actors who don't see her movies], she reportedly added, according to Variety. I'm one of those who enjoy researching a topic to learn how to improve it.
However, I was contagious at the time of the premiere and didn't want to sit through it. I requested a copy from them to watch it, but I didn't want to watch it because it showed my name and the time I had watched it. It included the precise time and date as well as my name. Simply said, it is annoying.
Elizabeth has been praised for her "scene-stealing" performance in the movie. If you thought her performance in WandaVision was deserving of plaudits, wait until you watch her elevate it even more, as the Hindustan Times wrote of the movie.
Combines a mother's anguish with the danger of a mad magical creature rather skillfully. You might be disappointed if you see this movie for her."
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Stuhlbarg, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, and Rachel McAdams appear in the Sam Raimi-directed movie. English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam versions of the movie were released in India in May.
