MCU Newcomer Doctor Strange 2 Elizabeth Olsen Praises

Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in the new MCU film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, praises America Chavez actor Xochitl Gomez. Directed by Sam Raimi, this newest theatrical installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was released in cinemas this weekend to a generally positive reaction from critics and audiences. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness reviews specifically praised it for its horror/gothic elements — a franchise first for the MCU. Not much was revealed about the character of America Chavez prior to the movie's release, but she proved to be the driving force of the story. Pursued by something - or someone - who wants to harness her mysterious powers, she seeks the help of Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and they embark on an adventure through the multiverse to find out why she is so coveted - only to discover that her pursuer is actually the Scarlet Witch herself. Rounding out the main cast are Rachel McAdams, returning as Christine Palmer, Chiwetel Ejiofor, who returns as Baron Karl Mordo, and Benedict Wong as the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong.

Exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Olsen commends Gomez for her preparedness and bravado during the production of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The MCU veteran compared Gomez to her younger self, stating that the 16-year-old actor was much more confident than she was when she first entered the franchise. Olsen then expresses her excitement for whatever the future holds for her. Raimi has praised Gomez, as well as Marvel Studios' embrace of diversity and inclusivity. In the original Marvel Comics lore, the character of America Chavez is a young Latina who comes from another world, in which she had two mothers. As this was translated exactly into the movie, Raimi happily professed that "this young Latina can now represent a heroic figure for many people out there that were underrepresented before."


Despite being underrepresented in the marketing, Gomez's America played a key role in the story of Doctor Strange 2, and learning to embrace her powers in the final act hints that Marvel has plans to use her character in the future. Though it's unclear how much longer the franchise will want to play with the multiverse, the young superhero is shown learning sorcery at Kamar-Taj following the climactic battle, suggesting she will have powers that remain relevant even when that storytelling device is sidelined. And this praise from Olsen suggests Gomez will be ready off-screen for anything Feige & Co. have planned for America Chavez on-screen.

The Return of the Weird Blockbuster

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness raises the question: Is Sam Raimi the best director to ever be attached to a Marvel movie? He doesn’t have an Oscar like Chloé Zhao or Taika Waititi, the sorts of filmmakers who, if nothing else, win Oscars (their movies really make you think). He doesn’t typically do prestige, and he avoids serious subject matter. But Raimi is also a singularly kinetic visual storyteller—a true showman—and, in his way, a transformational figure in the recent history of American cinema. When Raimi directed the first (and arguably best) Spider-Man in 2002, comic-book properties were a volatile prospect, if not an all-out gamble. The Joel Schumacher Batman movies were a pop-culture punch line, and R-rated Bayhem was all the rage. That Spider-Man surpassed even the most optimistic box-office expectations is only part of the story, however. The fact that a major studio would entrust such a valuable title to a guy like Raimi—whose most famous movie to that point f

Batman Beyond Settles Tony Stark vs Bruce Wayne

Since both characters are billionaires without inherent superpowers who use their wealth to develop a method to fight evil in their respective worlds, the debate over who is better between Batman and Iron Man has raged for decades—but an issue of Batman Beyond proves that Iron Man is superior. Tony Stark first became Iron Man after he was captured as a prisoner of war and developed a suit that could keep him alive following a nearly fatal injury. Since then, he continuously created better versions of his original design until he was successful in developing an entire army of his suits that he can control remotely in what's known as the Iron Legion. Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, refined his body and mind rather than just his suit upon his entrance into the superhero world. Bruce trained with the greatest masters of basically every kind of martial art to make himself the pinnacle of what human beings are capable of. However, in the neo-tech future of Batman Beyond, Bruce is a lot o

Release and Streaming Play Set Firm Day Theatrical to Italy

A move that will transform Italy’s relationship with Netflix, the Italian government has set a firm three-month time window between a movie’s theatrical release and when it can drop on a streaming platform. The announcement was made by Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini during a Rome confab on the state of the country’s film industry held by the country’s motion picture association ANICA. The minister said he has signed a law that will extend the existing 90-day theatrical window for Italian films that had benefitted from government subsidies to now include all films, regardless of where they are produced or how they are financed. Due to its having a more flexible windowing policy than France, Italy in recent years has been an interesting testing ground for the theatrical releases of Netflix titles, largely because the Venice Film Festival is a frequent launching pad for the platform’s original films. Here I will inform you of the films that have just been released and can be
