  • -My next guest stars in the incredibly popular

  • television series "WandaVision."

  • The ninth and final episode of Season 1 will be available

  • this Friday on Disney+.

  • Here is Elizabeth Olsen!

  • Ah! That's what I'm talking about.

  • Welcome, Elizabeth Olsen.

  • Welcome back to "The Tonight Show."

  • I'm happy to see you.

  • Thank you so much, by the way,

  • for making the time to do the "FallonVision" bit,

  • because it was awesome.

  • -That was so fun. -It's so much fun for us.

  • But you -- I mean, you went above and beyond

  • what we thought you would do.

  • And, actually, we were sending you wigs and stuff,

  • and because of COVID and where you are,

  • it couldn't get there in time.

  • So you went straight to the top and had some

  • "WandaVision" people help you with it, right?

  • -Yeah, 'cause I'm filming "Doctor Strange"

  • right now with the women who were

  • the head of hair and makeup departments on "WandaVision."

  • And, so, we were doing six-day weeks here in London

  • and we took our Sunday to film it.

  • And I didn't have anything for the '70s,

  • 'cause there are no -- This is closed down.

  • Everything's closed down. Shops are closed down.

  • You can't even go to a thrift shop.

  • And I had a bad idea for the '70s,

  • and they thought I looked not good enough.

  • But they looked at my dish towel in my kitchen

  • and they were like, "That's your tube top.

  • You got to wear that for the '70s."

  • I'm wearing a dishrag.

  • -I mean, I did the scene with you,

  • but I didn't realize that was not a dress or tube top.

  • That was a dishrag? A dish towel?

  • -Yeah, it's a dishrag.

  • And it just got underneath my armpits.

  • Like, in the back -- -We were this close.

  • -Like, it doesn't even remotely come together in the back.

  • -So you're like this, like...

  • -I was.

  • And I was so scared to lift my arms,

  • that the whole thing would come down.

  • -Oh, my gosh! You got me! See?

  • That's what you have to do in these times.

  • You got to be nimble. You got to be quick.

  • -Yeah. -Oh, thank you.

  • Thank you again for doing that.

  • It was a real treat for all of us here.

  • And, also, Kathryn Hahn was awesome, as well,

  • for helping us out.

  • I know you're in England.

  • You're filming the "Doctor Strange" sequel.

  • Can we say anything that -- Does "WandaVision"

  • have a connection to the "Doctor Strange" sequel?

  • -It is a complete tee-up for my character.

  • -There you go.

  • I want to talk about "WandaVision,"

  • 'cause this is the biggest show on television right now.

  • Congrats with all the success.

  • Did you expect the show to be such a big hit?

  • -No. I expect everything I do to fail.

  • -Aha!

  • -And I just try and hold on to what I like about my job.

  • And I just assume no one is going to

  • enjoy anything I'm a part of.

  • But we were really swinging for the fences

  • and felt really proud of what we were doing.

  • And we felt like it was different and unique

  • and there was a great energy to it.

  • But it -- You never know how something

  • is going to be received.

  • And we also didn't predict that there was going to be

  • a pandemic, where everyone is going to be living in a bubble,

  • like our characters.

  • And so it just kind of -- I feel like it was --

  • It came out at the right time.

  • And it really was a labor of love,

  • so I'm really proud of it.

  • -I loved it. I thought it was so good.

  • There's only one episode left. Episode 9 comes out this Friday.

  • I'm assuming there's going to be

  • some closure to something or...

  • -I think so.

  • I think there is -- I think it answers

  • the rest of the questions that people might have

  • and leaves things open the way Marvel needs to

  • to link everything back into the films.

  • And it's a Marvel finale.

  • -After every episode of "WandaVision,"

  • fans head straight to Twitter.

  • I just thought I'd run through a few tweets

  • and just see what your reaction to some of them,

  • just in case you didn't see them.

  • -Okay. I don't. -This first one...

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • [ Cries ]

  • That is -- -That's like my first still.

  • I think that's my first movie still, like, ever.

  • Like, was at Sundance.

  • -That's good. It's you.

  • It's acting. It's great.

  • Oh, alright. This one I like. It says...

  • It's like, Wait.

  • How are you doing all these

  • bending around and bending backwards,

  • and, at 18, this person's back is already killing them?

  • -I mean, I don't remember bending like that.

  • That isn't anatomically correct to my body.

  • -No. That's something that you've done --

  • Since the first time we saw you,

  • you've been doing these things.

  • And I go -- Yeah.

  • Yeah, I mean, you might be on wires,

  • but you did it.

  • It's like -- -It's crazy-looking.

  • -Here's one that says...

  • It's like, "Wait. Let me process.

  • Like, Huh? Wha-wha-what?"

  • -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.

  • -She's like, "She plays Red Witch."

  • -Yeah.

  • And she was like, "Why didn't you ever correct me?"

  • And I just told her, "Because I didn't know you were --

  • I just thought you were making a joke."

  • I was like, "I didn't know

  • that's what you thought my name was."

  • -"I love you too much, Mom." And that's what moms do.

  • I'm not going to correct you at every single thing.

  • Sure.

  • My dad still thinks I'm Jimmy Kimmel.

  • -Right.

  • -I'm not going to -- Why am I going to correct him now?

  • He loves him. Alright, let's see.

  • Oh, this one made me laugh,

  • 'cause I think it will make you laugh, too.

  • It says, "Marvel writers -- 'So, how much pain should

  • we put Wanda through on her journey to become

  • the Scarlet Witch?'

  • Marvel -- 'Yes.'"

  • It's just not even an answer.

  • It's like, "Yes, more pain."

  • -Ultimate, ultimate sad girl.

  • -And this one, I just think -- Everyone liked this one.

  • It said, "Breaking news -- Elizabeth Olsen

  • is currently being hospitalized due to carrying

  • the entire MCU on her back."

  • Yeah, that's your fans.

  • But that's the move! That's the moves you're doing --

  • -That is the move.

  • I guess I do that a lot, don't I?

  • -Yeah. You do it, but everyone loves you.

  • And It's great. Including us.

  • Congrats on all the success with "WandaVision."

  • I want to show a clip.

  • Here is Elizabeth Olsen in "WandaVision."

  • Take a look at this.

  • -Is she asleep?

  • -Mommy's not sleeping, honey.

  • She's just resting her eyes.

  • -Mom?

  • My head feels weird.

  • It's, like, really noisy.

  • I don't like it.

  • -Resting her eyes.

  • As punishment for my reckless evening,

  • I plan on taking a quarantine-style staycation,

  • a whole day just to myself.

  • That'll show me.

  • [ Sighs ]

  • ♪♪

  • Oh, my God.

  • -Elizabeth Olsen, everybody.

  • Check out the season finale of "WandaVision"

  • this Friday on Disney+.
