‘This Is So Ridiculous’: Marvel Actress Is Totally Over Doing Her Own Stunts

Actress Elizabeth Olsen made it clear that when it came to doing her own film stunts as Marvel’s Scarlet Witch, she had been there and done that — and she’d be just fine with not doing it again.

Olsen made the comments during a recent appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” and she told the host that while she understood why some actors really loved doing their own stunt work, she did not count herself among them.

Colbert prompted the discussion on stunts by recalling a story he’d heard about how Olsen had to do multiple takes of certain wire stunts because she could not stop laughing.

“Your stomach leaves you. It’s like, I guess, the joy people get on roller coasters, which I don’t get, but people love that feeling… I’ve definitely recovered from my giddiness,” Olsen replied. “Sometimes I’m just like, ‘Okay, how many more of these do you want? I can do this all day’ kind of thing. But sometimes I get a little freaked out.”

Olsen went on to explain that at the end of the day, she felt like it would be better for her stunt double to do those sequences.

“There is one in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ where I had to be dropped from 30 feet up and land. They wanted to drop me pretty quickly so that it looked like it had an impact, but I kept landing like Peter Pan, kind of like fencing? I was like, ‘Just use the double. This is so ridiculous — there is a double for a reason. Like, face replace …’ They do it all the time. And they used it,” she continued.

Olsen, whose Scarlet Witch went dark in the latest “Doctor Strange” film, said that she had done a lot of her own stunts for that movie and was ready to give up on taking them on herself: “It’s a waste of everyone’s time because a stunt double does it so much better.”

Trump Promotes Far-Left Orgs, Media To Attack DeSantis And Florida, Gets Slammed By Conservatives

Former President Donald Trump faced backlash from conservatives late last week after using far-left organizations and media to attack Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida.

Trump used data from the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) and the Florida Policy Institute to attack DeSantis for allegedly leading the state to “to tumble into complete and total delinquency and destruction.”

“The real DeSantis record is one of misery and despair,” the Trump campaign claimed. “He has left a wake of destruction all across Florida and people are hurting because he has spent more time playing public relations games instead of actually doing the hard-work needed to improve the lives of the people he represents.”

Trump’s remarks come as more Americans have moved to Florida over the last few years — including Trump himself — than any other state in the country in-large part due to the freedoms that were protected in the state during the pandemic.

Fox News reported that the NLIHC is an organization “dedicated to achieving racially and socially equitable public policy,” while the Florida Policy Institute is a left-leaning organization that claims to be non-partisan. Another report said that NLIHC was a “a pro-transgender nonprofit that’s part of a coalition of progressive organizations (Alliance for Justice/AJF) backed by Soros.”

Trump also posted an article on social media from far-left MSNBC host Joy Reid that attacked DeSantis.

Trump faced intense backlash online over the statement and posts promoting the far-left’s attacks on DeSantis.

Radio host Buck Sexton tweeted: “DeSantis: flipped Florida in one term from purple to solid red, the best governor during Covid, has attracted almost 1 million people to move to Florida in his first term (including me). Trump: Florida sucks, it’s awful, don’t know why anyone would live there.”

Former Trump Campaign Rapid Response Director Matt Wolking, who has flipped to help DeSantis, tweeted: “Trump just cited the pro-BLM, Zuckerberg-funded National Low Income Housing Coalition, a member of the George Soros-funded Alliance for Justice, in order to attack Governor DeSantis and trash the state of Florida. What happened to Donald Trump?”

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro tweeted: “This is total crap belied by the hundreds of thousands of people becoming Floridians since 2020 — including my family, my parents, my in-laws, and two of my sisters’ families. This dog won’t hunt. It’s just stupid.”

Fox News contributor Guy Benson tweeted: “Just thinking about how Florida resident Donald Trump lost his home county (Palm Beach) to Hillary & Biden by double digits — and then Ron DeSantis went out and straight-up won it last year.”

“This is just not even slightly true,” Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh tweeted.

“No one believes this. Trump is having desperation delirium,” said conservative attorney Marina Medvin. “But ask yourself why— I haven’t seen any polls showing DeSantis take Trump in the primary. So why exert so much energy on beating the guy who, per your own data, isn’t a serious contender … unless, of course, Trump knows something he hasn’t told us. The only reason I think DeSantis DEFINITELY takes the primary, despite all the polls, is because I see things like this from Trump.”

Media strategist Noah Pollak tweeted: “Trump went from ‘Florida is great but DeSantis has nothing to do with it, it’s b/c of sunshine and beaches’ to ‘Florida is a shithole and it’s all DeSantis’s fault’ in like two weeks. Amazing.”

Attorney Will Chamberlain added, “The entire Trump 2024 campaign is an insult to every conservative’s intelligence ‘Ron DeSantis did a terrible job on COVID, which is why I moved to Florida.’ ‘The 2020 election was stolen, but we’re totally going to get the votes in 2024.’ Etc, etc.”
