“If someone were to tell me that I’m fired from Marvel movies, I will feel proud of what we made."

Elizabeth's last appearance as Wanda was in last year's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — and it sounds like she's pretty okay with it staying that way.

In a conversation with the also-excellent actor Meghann Fahy for Variety's "Actors on Actors" series, Elizabeth was asked if she misses playing Wanda at all — and it's a pretty reasonable answer.

“No, I don’t,” Olsen responded. “I think it’s been almost 10 years of playing her. And I’ve loved it."

"And I think the reason why I am not calling Kevin Feige every day with ideas is because I’m really proud of what we were able to do. I think WandaVision was a really surprising opportunity.”

“If someone were to tell me that I’m fired from Marvel movies, I will feel proud of what we made. And I really am just trying to figure out how to load up other films and characters so it becomes less about the Marvel of it all.”

So there you have it — and, honestly, a pretty reasonable answer from Elizabeth. She's been in the MCU for a loooooong time, so it's probably good for her to lend her very considerable acting talents elsewhere.
