Elizabeth Olsen Reports Forgetting Marvel Zombies Role Recorded Years Ago

Elizabeth Olsen has returned as Scarlet Witch by lending her voice to the Disney+ animated series Marvel Zombies, a darker spinoff of What If…? that imagines a Marvel universe ravaged by a zombie apocalypse. However, Olsen revealed at L.A. Comic Con that she recorded her lines years ago, likely during 2020 or 2021, at home rather than in a studio, and she does not remember much about the project or the storyline. This marks her first appearance as Scarlet Witch since the 2022 film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where the character's fate was left uncertain after a grim ending. Despite not being confirmed for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film, Olsen has expressed openness to reprising the role if a strong story is presented. Marvel Zombies features many familiar MCU characters reimagined as zombies and is notable for its mature TV-MA rating, marking a departure from more family-friendly Marvel animated productions. The series serves as a bridge between classic and newer MCU characters, creating a darker and unpredictable narrative space within the Marvel universe.
