Elizabeth Olsen said she enjoyed Agatha Harkness calling out Scarlet Witch's ever-changing accent in Marvel's WandaVision. The series was the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first Disney+ entry, spotlighting Wanda Maximoff and Vision (Paul Bettany) living in seemingly sublime suburbia. Paying homage to some of the most iconic shows in American TV history, WandaVision began as a tribute of sorts. It also explored Scarlet Witch's past in a way unseen before.

When Wanda first entered the MCU in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, she mostly spoke in a thick accent from her fictional homeland Sokovia. As Wanda's film appearances continued, her accent thinned, and audiences started to wonder what was going on. It also fluctuated throughout WandaVision, though that was a byproduct of the sitcoms Wanda was emulating. Toward the end of the series, Agatha became a conduit for viewers when she mocked Wanda's dialect. In episode 8, Previously On, the witch imitated Wanda's voice, then saying, "That accent really comes and goes, doesn't it?" The inside joke was a big hit with audiences, especially those who had long wondered about Scarlet Witch's changing accent in the MCU.

Olsen recently opened up to IndieWire about her character's accent and the fact the series took a moment to comment on it. The publication noted: "Olsen said she got a big kick out of the moment where Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha mentions Wanda’s accent, as it was a direct call to those online who had been questioning it." Explained the star:

As much as she’s trying to keep this reality together she’ll have the American accent. Then, at what point does her Sokovian come back and we get to make a comment on it when it happens?

Olsen has remained adamant that she has the accent under control, and every time it dissipates is a calculated choice. First and foremost, the performer has said the accent lessened as Wanda spent more time in the United States. Speaking to WandaVision specifically, Olsen's also stated that Scarlet Witch was fully committed to being in an American sitcom, and therefore her dialect adapted to those circumstances. As her emotions grew out of control throughout the series, and she became more in touch with her Sokovian past, it makes sense her accent became stronger.

Based on Olsen's enjoyment of Agatha's line about Scarlet Witch's accent, it's clear the actor isn't taking any criticism of it too seriously. At this point, the star has discussed Wanda's accent at nauseam. She's also revealed that audiences can expect a closer iteration to Scarlet Witch's original thicker dialect in her next MCU appearance: Doctor Strange 2. However, Olsen's alluded that it won't be exactly the same. It seems everything Scarlet Witch went through in WandaVision made her more in touch with her true self. Certainly no matter what's to come for Wanda in the MCU, Olsen will use her stellar acting abilities to ground it in honesty.
