Elizabeth Olsen has left a lasting impression on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with her role as Wanda Maximoff/ Scarlet Witch. Since her first appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron and her significant part in the popular series WandaVision, Olsen has captured the hearts of viewers with her engaging acting.
She expertly shows the different sides of Wanda’s character, from being troubled to becoming a strong superhero. Olsen can express her character’s feelings easily and has a natural charm on screen. Because of this, she is considered a remarkable talent in the industry and is loved by fans. However, once Olsen made a comment on a red carpet that she instantly regretted.
What Comment Did Elizabeth Olsen Make About Her Co-star
At the MTV Movie & TV Awards 2021, something exciting unfolded as Elizabeth Olsen from WandaVision and Anthony Mackie from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier had a fun reunion. While Mackie was being interviewed by MTV’s Josh Horowitz, Olsen playfully joined in by photobombing her fellow Marvel actor on the red carpet.
While walking past Mackie, Olsen said to one of the paparazzi, “I was trying to wave to you, but it’s black.” Anthony Mackie saw the opportunity to crack a joke, which made the actress sound like she made a racist comment about the actor. “What did you say about me?” Mackie said.
Elizabeth Olsen instantly realized that her comments could be taken in a racist way and expressed her regret. However, Anthony Mackie hugged her and cleared that he was joking. While the duo had fun on the red carpet, they also walked away with some trophies at the MTV Movie & TV Awards 2021.

Olsen and Anthony Mackie both won multiple awards at the ceremony. Olsen triumphed in categories such as Best Performance in a Show and Best Fight, while Mackie celebrated victories in the form of the Golden Popcorn for Best Hero and Best Duo, alongside his co-star Sebastian Stan from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
“[The decision] came about sort of as the series was launching, but it was something we were thinking about even as we were making it — not because we think, ‘Oh my God, it’s so great,’ but because it does feel a bit more dramatic than some of our typical stuff,” Marvel producer Nate Moore said about WandaVision’s awards chances. “As this is sort of our first foray into television, even if it’s Disney+, we thought it was appropriate for what the show is trying to tackle.”
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision are both available for streaming on Disney+.
