Marvel’s Elizabeth Olsen still doesn’t know what the deal is with the Infinity Stones
Scarlet Witch actress Elizabeth Olsen is still confused about the Infinity Stones (but he feels it hasn’t stopped her from doing her job)

If you ever get confused about the MCU’s lore, don’t feel bad, because even the actors have trouble with it. Elizabeth Olsen has starred in numerous Marvel movies, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. However, despite the Infinity Stones being prominent parts of both movies - and, for that matter, part of Wanda’s origin story - the actress still isn’t quite sure what their deal is.
“The truth is, you don’t need to know anything to do your job. I’m okay with that,” Elizabeth Olsen revealed during her Scarlet Witch and Beyond spotlight panel at C2E2 2026, adding, “I still mess up the Infinity Stones. The multiverse, I think I have a knack for. Like, I understand that a lot more. The Infinity Stones, I couldn’t tell you what each one was for.”
In fairness, the lore behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe can get very complicated, especially if you didn’t grow up following the comics. For that matter, who can really say what each of the MCU's Infinity Stones did without pausing to check Wikipedia? ("They powered the Infinity Gauntlet" isn't enough of an answer, I'm afraid.)
If nothing else, I do think we should give props to Elizabeth Olsen for mastering the multiverse, because that’s a far more confusing concept.
