  ELLE: We can’t keep meeting Elizabeth Olsen like this. By “this,” I mean in the throes of catastrophe or bereavement, or, to put it plainly, when she’s an emotional wreck. In the 2018 Facebook Watch drama Sorry For Your Loss, Olsen assumes the role of Leigh Shaw, a young widow grappling with the unexpected loss of her husband and all the painful nuisances that come with death: the unbearable waves of sadness, the clichéd condolences, a grief support group that runs out of donuts. At one point, Leigh says through a cracked voice, “I’m just mad all the time.” It’s hard not to draw parallels to Olsen’s other angry character. After all, “mad” is exactly how 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron introduced us to Wanda Maximoff.

Defined by tragedy since her Marvel debut, Wanda (aka the Scarlet Witch) is an orphan with telekinetic powers. When not saving the world, she spends most of her time onscreen grieving the deaths of her parents, twin brother, or lover. Wanda’s never been allowed to fully exist outside the confines of her grief and anger, but with the launch of WandaVision—Marvel’s foray into serialized content for streaming—she may just be getting the happy ending she deserves.

Partly inspired by The Vision comic book, which follows synthezoid superhero Vision and his family as they move to the suburbs of Washington, D.C., the Disney+ series is an ode to the TV sitcoms we’ve come to love, with Wanda and Vision (Paul Bettany) basking in newlywed bliss—except Vision’s been very dead (killed twice, in fact) since the events of 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War. It’s unclear exactly how these starcrossed characters got to suburbia, but for now, it’s a delight to see the typically solemn duo sink their teeth into slapstick comedy.

“The show is like a blank slate for them,” Olsen tells me over Zoom, her light brown fringe a departure from Wanda’s red waves. The Scarlet Witch’s doleful glare is also long gone; in its place, Olsen’s eyes are wide with excitement. “Wanda and Vision’s journey to this point is a story of pure, innocent love and deep connection with another person,” she explains. “It was also very traumatizing. Tragedy has always been their story. In our show, we kind of wipe that clean and start fresh.”

But Wanda’s complicated past looms over WandaVision. Age of Ultron saw her and her twin brother, Pietro, initially opposing the Avengers (the siblings volunteered for a series of experiments with Hydra—a super evil organization within the MCU—after the deaths of their parents at the hands of Tony Stark’s Stark Industries) before switching sides to help save the Earth. The movie ends in victory for our superheroes, but yet another tragedy for Wanda when Pietro dies in battle. She finds comfort in the arms of Vision, an android created from the remains of Tony’s J.A.R.V.I.S. program, but even that bliss is short-lived. You see, Vision can only live with the help of the Mind Stone, which Mad Titan Thanos needs to take over the universe. In Infinity War, Vision asks Wanda to sacrifice him, and Wanda reluctantly agrees—but Thanos reverses time to gain control of the stone, killing the robot for a second time. Wanda’s pain is palpable: Imagine sacrificing the love of your life to save everyone else, just to watch him brought back to life and killed again—by the very villain you’re trying to defeat.

Though the thrill of playing a character with superhuman abilities is enticing for any actress, Olsen says it was Wanda’s internal battle with mental health that attracted her to the role in the first place. “[Joss Whedon] explained to me that Wanda Maximoff has always been this pillar of the struggle of mental health, from her pain and depression and traumatic experiences to how she completely alters the reality of the comics,” Olsen says of her early conversations with the Age of Ultron director. “The thing I held onto after reading the initial script was that she was not only powerful because of her abilities, but because of her emotions.”

In fact, MCU theorists would argue she’s one of, if not the, strongest Avenger. She can infiltrate the others’ minds to reveal their biggest fears (Age of Ultron). She can overpower Vision and send him plunging through several floors to break up a fight between warring superheroes (Avengers: Civil War). She can even bring Thanos to his knees, snapping his sword in half and forcibly removing his armor piece by piece (Infinity War).

Still, “they keep slapping her over the head with more grief,” Olsen quips.

As phase one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe began with the sound of clanging metal on May 2, 2008, phase four kicked off on January 15, 2021 with a kitschy 1950s sitcom theme: “She’s a magical gal in a small town locale / he’s a hubby who’s part machine / How will this duo fit in and pull through? Oh, by sharing a love / like you’ve never seen.”

With WandaVision, Marvel steers clear of the typical superhero trappings: no destructive battles at a Berlin airport or across the streets of New York City; no blonde-haired god time-traveling to other realms; no tree-like alien fight alongside a raccoon. Wandavision takes place after the events of Endgame in a fictional suburban town called Westview, and the biggest problem the newlyweds face in the show’s opening moments is creating a convincing backstory to get nosy neighbor Agnes (Kathryn Hahn) off their backs.

“They are just trying to fit in,” Olsen explains. “They’re trying to not be found out by their neighbors that they’re super-powered beings.” Now, if only we can figure out what the hell is actually going on. Olsen remains tight-lipped: “The reason it’s a sitcom shows itself later in the show,” she hints. “When Kevin [Feige] told me, it didn’t feel so bizarre. It felt like a great way to start our story.”

“With our show, you don’t know what the villain is, or if there is one at all.”

So, is Wanda stuck in the first stage of grief, denial? Has she altered reality as a coping mechanism for Vision’s death? Is she being held hostage by a terrorist organization (ahem, Hydra!)? One thing we do know is that someone is watching the couple and taking notes. At the end of episode 1, the camera pans out from a retro TV playing an episode of WandaVision (meta!) to show a hand jotting down notes. There’s a strange sword symbol on the notebook and a nearby control board, and in episode 2, the same sign appears on a toy helicopter lodged in the couple’s front yard. Later, when a mysterious beekeeper crawls out of the sewer on the couple’s street, the symbol is seen on the back of his suit. In its 20-plus movies, Marvel villains have always existed in plain sight. But with a new, less obvious darkness lurking at every turn, Wanda may have to return to her world-saving roots.

“Someone said to me when you watch any of these hero movies, you know when the villain’s about to show themselves, and you also have an idea of who the villain is,” Olsen says. “With our show, you don’t know what the villain is, or if there is one at all.” For now, WandaVision allows for glimmers of hope and optimism for Wanda and Vision, despite what darkness tries to threaten their happiness. “Wanda is trying to protect everything in her bubble, protect what she and Vision have and this experience,” Olsen says. “I think everything she does is in response to keeping things together.”

In addition to exploding the concept of the superhero onscreen, WandaVision toys with a different era of TV in each episode. The pilot takes viewers to the ‘50s with an episode filmed in front of a live studio audience, and Wanda dresses up in the quintessential housewife garb, not a hair out of place in her voluminous bob. By the time we click on episode 2, she trades in her apron and kitten heels for a more pared-down ‘60s look, while episode 3 gives a nod to the ‘70s, complete with a Brady Bunch-style staircase and a shag haircut for Vision.

While dressing up was the fun part, time-hopping through the eras required a lot of binge-watching old sitcoms to get the mannerisms down right. Olsen studied series like The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Brady Bunch, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Bewitched to “understand the tones of each era” and get a grasp of how Wanda and Vision should act as a couple. (One of her favorite TV pairings was Jane Kaczmarek and Bryan Cranston from Malcolm in the Middle.) She was fascinated by the way female characters evolved through the decades: “You have to learn appropriate manners—what’s considered being polite or proper. That coincides with women’s voices changing,” she explains. “I enjoyed challenging myself to match the syntax and the lyricism. I live in a very chest-register kind of deep voice. I had to remember not to bring it up at certain moments.”

For so long, Wanda served as a supporting character to Marvel’s biggest names, and the formulaic mundanity of the major theatrical releases made it easy to get comfortable. WandaVision offered Olsen a much-needed challenge. “I’ve only been working for 10 years, but there is this feeling where you start to get comfortable,” she says. “WandaVision was the furthest thing from comfortable for me. It felt intimidating. The character is a completely different thing.”

And fans hoping for a little Marvel action won’t be disappointed. “We still live up to what Marvel does,” she promises. “We just tell the story in a completely different way. It’s a very emotional, female story and it’s a story they haven’t told yet for either of our characters.” Whatever your theory is, keep the cliché condolences to yourself. No one will be uttering, “Sorry for your loss” in Wanda’s world.

Celebrities Who Look Like Twins – Can You Inform The Distinction?

New Post has been published on https://takenews.net/celebrities-who-look-like-twins-can-you-inform-the-distinction/

Celebrities Who Look Like Twins – Can You Inform The Distinction?

Most of us have requested, “Isn’t that… from…?” when watching a film or tv present. We’re often appropriate, usually confuse actors for another person. There are many celebrities who look strikingly just like different celebrities. Until you’re a Hollywood superfan, it may be troublesome to inform a few of these stars aside.

Here’s a listing of a number of the most convincingly comparable superstar look-alikes we’ve ever seen. Admit it, you thought just a few of those have been the identical particular person. Fairly just a few of them caught the eye of casting administrators as nicely.

The world was launched to Fuller Home star Candace Cameron Bure’s Daughter Natasha when she appeared on The Voice. Her vocal abilities stole the eye from choose Adam Levine. Viewers started to note her similarities with Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson, who was honored with an Academy Award and Golden Globe for her function in Room.

They’ve an attention-grabbing tv connection as nicely. Like Natasha’s real-life mother, Larson performed the tv daughter of Bob Sagat. He starred in each Full Home and the WB’s Elevating Dad. Since hair types modified so drastically over the twenty years between exhibits, it’s not going he obtained them confused.

The Property Brothers twins, Drew and Jonathan Scott, couldn’t assist however discover their resemblance to the graceful singer Harry Connick Jr. Drew says, “It’s humorous, we’re twins, however no one among my life has ever mentioned I appear like [Jonathan].” Jonathan admits he receives “extra messages [from people] on-line who say they swear we have been cut up at start.”

Harry invited the twins to his household reunion Christmas particular the place they took a “household” photograph and agreed. “I can actually see it now,” he mentioned earlier than tweeting, “I don’t point out it usually, however I’ve 2 brothers. we had an emotional vacation reunion.”

Tiffani Thiessen brought on the jaws of many 1990s teenagers to drop because the beautiful cheerleader on Saved By The Bell. Alexandra Daddario brought on all of our jaws to drop when she took half within the 2017 comedy reboot of the 1990s hit Baywatch. Their shining darkish brown hair actually makes the hypnotizing blue eyes stand out.

Each bombshells have appeared on the USA tv sequence White Collar. Thiessen was solid as the principle character Elizabeth Burke whereas Daddario appeared as a recurring character. Though they don’t appear like similar twins, the resemblance remains to be one thing that shouldn’t be ignored.

There aren’t many individuals who can take consideration away from Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence. She has turn into considered one of Hollywood’s most elite stars. Bella Hadid burst onto the style scene in 2014. She garnered extra consideration after successful Mannequin.com’s 2016 Mannequin of the Yr award. When requested if she had ever been confused for Lawrence, Hadid advised Fashionista, “A number of instances a day. In all probability as we speak it’s already occurred like 5 instances.”

Their equally fascinating eyes and ideal noses are just a few traits they share. Their abilities inside their respective industries are simply the tip of the iceberg.

Trip co-stars, former SNL solid member Jason Sudeikis and Day by day Present correspondent Ed Helms get confused for one another all the time. Sudeikis says he doesn’t get offended of his could-be twin as a result of, “I’m in a superb place within the sense that mine is a very nice, humorous, good man.”

On the White Home Correspondents dinner, somebody within the press approached Sudeikis for a photograph. The person was bewildered when he advised him his identify was Jason. “Did you assume I used to be Ed Helms from The Hangover?” he requested.

“Sure, however it’s OK,” she responded. “You look sufficient like him.”

Keira Knightly and Natalie Portman get this all the time. Knightly admits, “I really feel fairly sorry for her as a result of she should get chased so much as a result of it’s occurred like 5 instances the place somebody’s been like, Natalie! Natalie! Natalie!’ And I’ll signal and take an image as Natalie.”

How on Earth have these two by no means been in movies collectively as sisters? Actually, they virtually have been. Casting administrators for Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace observed their similarity in 1997. A 12-year-old Keira Knightly was chosen to play the handmaiden and decoy to Portman’s Queen Amidala.

Mainly, the one distinction between Ashton Kutcher and Jared Haibon is their marital standing. Haibon is understood for his half on Bachelor in Paradise. Kutcher has been hitched by most of his profession. Bachelor contestant Ashley Iaconetti first observed their oddly related options. She mentioned Haibon was a cross between Kutcher and Joe Jonas.

Kutcher’s spouse Mila Kunis needed him to share a side-by-side photograph. “I’m attempting to determine why Mila is making me take this image” he posted on Twitter.” And who is that this man?” Outstanding cheekbones will get you fairly far within the leisure trade.

Eva Mendes has all the time been within the hearts of her adoring followers. The Latina magnificence steals the display screen with each scene. She started her profession as a mannequin and appeared in music movies for Aerosmith and Will Smith. Her performing profession took off after she co-starred with Denzel Washington in Coaching Day.

Ashley Graham’s notoriety arrived when she grew to become the primary size-16 mannequin to seem on the coveted Swimsuit Version in 2017. “I assumed Sports activities Illustrated was taking a threat by placing a lady my dimension within the pages,” Graham advised Folks Journal. “They aren’t simply breaking limitations; they’re the usual now. That is past epic.”

Politicians are so much like actors. They each lie for a dwelling. There’s an amazing distinction between singing and dancing by highschool halls and signing laws on Capitol Hill. In any other case, former Glee star Matthew Morrison and Speaker of the Home of Representatives Paul Ryan appear like they could possibly be cousins.

Their excellent hair, with an accompanying widow’s peak, is only the start. Some say their smile, nostril, and protruding ears are sufficient to match the 2. We’re prepared to guess Morrison has a bit of extra enjoyable along with his job. He seemingly receives so much much less scrutiny too.

Not solely is Amal Clooney an achieved human rights lawyer specializing in worldwide regulation, however she is kind of beautiful. Just about as beautiful as Anne Hathaway. Many individuals confuse Clooney for The Princess Diaries and The Darkish Knight Rises star. Their lips and exquisite brown eyes actually make the connection.

When requested by EXTRA how she feels about being in comparison with Clooney, Hathaway responded, “I hope that I turn into half the lady that she is – she’s so achieved, and it’s so thrilling to have a look at somebody and be like, ‘Oh, you actually are making the world a greater place.’”

Alicia Silverstone was launched to the world when she performed Fred Savage’s “dream woman” on an episode of The Surprise Years. The identical 12 months as her breakout efficiency in The Crush in 1993, we noticed Alicia within the music movies for Aerosmith’s “Cryin’,” “Loopy,” and “Wonderful.”

We obtained to know Maggie Lawson a bit of later within the decade. She might be greatest recognized for her function as Juliet O’Hara on Psych. Getting her confused with the Clueless star is kind of frequent. Actually, one of the widespread questions on Quora is “Who does Alicia Silverstone play on Psych?”

Actresses Blake Full of life and Melissa Benoist are two of the loveliest blonde beauties to have owned the small display screen. Benoist is greatest recognized for her half on the hit tv sequence Glee whereas Full of life acquired crucial acclaim as the principle character within the teen hit Gossip Lady.

It’s not sufficient to look the identical. Melissa Benoist has continued her success turning into the brand new Supergirl. Full of life is fortunately married to Ryan Reynolds, the hilarious star of Superman’s Justice League teammate The Inexperienced Lantern.

As if that wasn’t sufficient, Benoist was as soon as married to her co-star on Glee, Blake Jenner.

On the subject of inherently humorous females, it’s simple to confuse Ana Gastayer with Kathryn Hahn. Gastayer had a standout function as a solid member of Saturday Night time Dwell for years. You would possibly keep in mind her because the calm-spoken co-host of NPR’s Scrumptious Dish skit selling “Schweddy Balls.”

Hahn hilariously portrays not-so-sane characters alongside Will Ferrell in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Step Brothers. Their hair, nostril, eyes, and distinctive smiles make it troublesome to differentiate between the 2.

In a coincidental coincidence, each ladies acquired their schooling from Northwestern College.

Scott Speedman is broadly recognized for his function on Felicity, in addition to the lycan/vampire cross-breed from the Underworld saga. Chris Soules earned his fame by handing out roses to eligible bachelorettes on The Bachelor. Despite the fact that their roles are vastly totally different, the 2 good-looking hunks could possibly be confused for brothers. Speedman and Soules are two celebrities who might have fallen from the identical household tree.

They each have completely moussed hair, a barely downward pointing nostril, similar lips, and knee-weakening jawline. We’re fairly certain most ladies (and a few males) can be glad to have one probability with both of them.

We’re not saying Swedish DJ Avicii appears to be like like a lady. Nor are we saying Taylor Swift has manly options. The 2 of them simply appear like they have been separated at start. Even Taylor Swift agrees with the comparability. As quickly as TayTay observed an image of Avicii she posted a photograph on Instagram and performed alongside.

The remark learn: “Simply noticed this, then instantly known as my mother and father and requested them level clean in the event that they kidnapped me from Avicii’s household in Sweden after I was a child. In fact, they denied it. They’d.” together with the hashtags #heyyyyybrother and #WHOAMIACTUALLY.

Leighton Meester is one other Gossip Lady who has a star look-a-like. Meester has usually been in comparison with the Friday Night time Lights beautyMinka Kelly. Whether or not it’s their chestnut-colored hair or beautiful eyes, it was solely a matter of time earlier than somebody put them on a venture collectively.

In 2011, each women have been employed for the thriller The Roommate. The story of a school woman (Kelly) who meets a progressively obsessive roommate (Meester). Despite the fact that critics denied the movie of any constructive overview, followers begged to vary. Kelly and Meester have been each nominated for MTV Film Awards and Teen Selection Awards.

Bulgarian-Canadian actress Nina Dobrev’s declare to fame was as Elena Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries. Victoria Justice has been within the performing sport for about the identical period of time. It’s a standard false impression the 2 brunette beauties are the identical particular person. You’d need to be a hardcore fan of both lady to actually inform the variations.

In an interview with The Huffington Publish, Justice says individuals all the time assume she is Dobrev. “It’s been taking place eternally!” she mentioned. “I believe it’s flattering. She’s so fairly, so it’s very good to have the ability to say that!”

Whether or not it’s the beautiful and flashy purple hair or the flexibility to behave in dramatic or comedy roles, there’s no mistaking Amy Adams and Isla Fisher will get mistaken for one another frequently. The 2 actresses are mates and hang around with each other every so often. They attempt to see the variations. It’s exhausting for individuals to objectively evaluate themselves to another person.

In an interview with Self-importance Truthful, Adams mentioned she will get confused for Fisher “on a regular basis, nonetheless. Once I’m with Isla, we each take a look at each other and … I get it however I don’t get it.”

In case you didn’t hear Thandie Newton and Zoe Saldana’s distinctly totally different accents, it will be simple to confuse the 2. Newton has confirmed herself as a power to be reckoned with because the madam Maeve Millay on HBO’s Westworld. She will even seem within the new Star Wars standalone Han Solo film.

Saldana has turn into world-renowned for her function as Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s about time you study to acknowledge who’s who.

Earlier than she grew to become a Marvel superhero, Saldana mentioned on The Late Late Present with Craig Ferguson, “I’ll be strolling down the road and I’ll have individuals go, ‘Hey Thandie Newton!’”

Each Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem are recognized for his or her overpowering performances. Morgan will now eternally be often called Negan, the no-holds-barred verbose antagonist within the hit apocalyptic thriller The Strolling Useless. Bardem confirmed his performing dominance because the silent murderer Anton Chigurh within the Coen brothers traditional No Nation For Outdated Males.

Each males have the scruffy manliness about them which makes them excellent for his or her respective roles. Despite the fact that Bardem has a thick Spanish accent, each males are gifted sufficient to faux it. It will be simple to combine the 2 if both man wasn’t an Oscar or Golden Globe-caliber performer.
