Scarlet Witch to Play as Wild Card in Captain America: Civil War

In a recent interview with Comic Book, Elizabeth Olsen who plays the role as Scarlet Witch disclosed that she will play as a wild card in the movie whose allegiance is still undetermined. "I have a movement coach for the way she throws her hexes so I'm very protective over that," Olsen said. "It's something that was created out of whatever uniquely that we made up for the first film. Now we have this huge attachment to it and we don't want to see it messed up."

She added that Scarlet Witch is "coming into her own and starting to understand and have a conflict with how she wants to use her abilities. It's a dramatic conflict within her and obviously there's conflict within the (Avengers) as well."

"I like that they didn't release Scarlet Witch in the promo photos for the teams - it places her as being a wild card, and I like her having that kind of edge that people don't know what she's capable of. They can fear her because she is so incredibly powerful in a different way than the rest of the heroes for the most part. I like playing that role within the gang."

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. However, an international incident involving the Avengers resulted in collateral damage and political pressure mounts for accountability for the Avengers team. Captain America and Iron Man have clashing views on this issue thus dividing the team's loyalty.
