Elizabeth Olsen’s sisters are the famous Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. In an interaction with Magazine, the actress mentioned that she almost gave up her surname to distance herself from her very famous sisters. She said that she was around 10 years old when she first auditioned for a role and since that time, she did not want to be associated with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for some reason. From a very young age, the WandaVision actress said she wanted to be absolutely sure that she earned roles based on her performance, talent and hard work and not just because she’s the younger sister of the twins who featured in the hit TV sitcom Full House.

The actress was most recently seen in the show WandaVision reprising her role as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch. Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it shares a connection with the films of the franchise and takes place after the events of the film Avengers: Endgame.
