Elizabeth Olsen reveals her traumatic experience of stunts

Doctor Strange 2 (full title: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) is the recent cinecomic that has again led to the film camera Sam Raimi away from the scenes since 2013 when he had brought to the cinema Oz the Great and Powerful. A decidedly peculiar project that lives in the style of the famous American filmmaker who has packaged a decidedly dreamlike and fizzy adventure for our favorite sorcerer, played again by Benedict Cumberbatch (1917, The power of the dog). Having said that, within the feature film, we see in a decidedly unusual guise the Wanda Maximoff embodied by Elizabeth Olsen (Ingrid goes West, Wind River Secrets), real antagonist of the film.

Well, in a recent interview for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the actress said that most of her stunts featured in Doctor Strange 2 she made them herself, without any help from stunt doubles. However, this was actually particularly disruptive to her emotional and physical health:

Your stomach leaves you. It’s like, I guess, the joy people get on a roller coaster, which I don’t understand, but people love that feeling. I have definitely recovered from my vertigo. Sometimes I’m like, ‘Okay, how many more do you want? I can do it all day’ kind of thing. But sometimes I get a little angry. There is one in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness where I had to be dropped 30 feet up and land. They wanted to drop me fast enough that it looked like it was impacting, but I kept landing like Peter Pan, kind of like fencing? I was like, Just use twice as much. It’s so ridiculous – there’s a double for a reason. Like, replace the face…They always do. And they used it.”
