Bleeding Cool's Brendon Connelly spoke to sources who said that Marvel and director Joss Whedon are seriously considering Olsen for the role of Wanda Maximof, also known as the Scarlet Witch, after Saoirse Ronan passed on the project.

Aaron Tyler-Johnson, of the "Kick-Ass" franchise, has already signed on to play Maximof's brother, Quicksilver.
