> “I’d never really had the mentality of ‘one for them, one for me,’” Olsen said. **“Marvel has been such a consistent thing I’ve been able to return to and has created — what’s the word? — some feeling of insurance in my life that has given me freedom to choose other jobs. So I haven’t felt like, ‘And then I’ll do this to do this.’”** Returning to Marvel for more projects, like the Disney+ series Wandavision, “has always felt like a choice,” Olsen added. “Every time, it’s character-driven,” she said. “It’s always like, ‘We have this idea, and that’s why we want you to come back.’ It’s not like, ‘Just throw her in something.’”
> And Olsen knows the industry needs both types of movies. She admitted she doesn’t “have an interest in making” a film if it’s only going to be released on streaming — which is why she was excited that her Netflix film His Three Daughters didn’t just get a theatrical run, but was also shown on 35-millimeter film. **But Olsen added that she knows Marvel projects can help “pay the rent” for theaters to be able to show smaller movies, citing director Paul Thomas Anderson’s comments. “I do think that’s the relationship,” Olsen said.**

Plus they don’t make nearly as many mid-budget movies ($25-90 mil) anymore. It’s either smaller indies or billion-or-bust $200+ mil tentpoles.
In any other era, a lot of these actors and actresses would be bigger stars.

She’s got the idea. A lot of people rightfully drag superhero films. Im super autistic so i love them, but i respect the fact that they’re stupid, dumb, and just money grabbing. But god I’m the one they cater to.
However, artists using this medium as a to make actual art is incredibly inspiring, and very smart. Having the money as a buffer so you can drop a few experimental films is also a great way to keep my attention. I’ll thrown down money to follow you in your pursuits

She does big movies to pay bills and Indie to expand and explore her acting to a broader spectrum.
Call me whatever you want but as long as I see her on the Big Screen I’m Happy.
