Elizabeth Olsen’s Mom Thought Her Marvel Character’s Name Was Red Witch For Last Four Years

WandaVison is coming to an end tomorrow, which is bittersweet for Marvel fans, who are excited to see how the show will play out while also being sad to see it end. In honor of the finale, Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda Maximoff) paid a virtual visit to The Tonight Show where she had some fun doing a WandaVision-themed sketch with Jimmy Fallon. During the interview, Olsen also read some fan tweets, including one that brought up last week’s long-awaited reveal that Wanda is the Scarlet Witch. While reading the tweet, Olsen shared that her mother always thought her character was named “The Red Witch.”

“My mom just told me the other day that she’s been calling me ‘The Red Witch’ for the last, she said four years, but I think I’ve been doing this for like six or seven. And she just learned that I was called the Scarlet Witch last week,” Olsen shared with a laugh. “She was like, ‘Why didn’t you ever correct me?’ and I just told her, ‘Cause I didn’t know… I just thought you were making a joke, not that you didn’t know what my name was.’” You can watch the interaction, including Olsen reading some fan tweets, in the post below:

A while back, Olsen did tease that the big Scarlet Witch name reveal would come into play during WandaVision. SlashFilm‘s Peter Sciretta tweeted the following after seeing Olsen speak at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con: “Elizabeth Olsen says the show will be weird, deep and fun. And we’ll finally find out why she’s called the Scarlet Witch.”
