VANCOUVER, BC — As the Valentine’s Day weekend unfolds, Canadian audiences are flocking to streaming platforms to witness Elizabeth Olsen’s latest career pivot. The actress, long celebrated for her complex portrayal of Wanda Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is currently dominating the cultural conversation with her new romantic drama, Eternity.
Released on Apple TV+ on 13 February 2024, Eternity has quickly ascended to the #1 spot on the platform’s global charts, notably overtaking Brad Pitt’s high-octane F1. The film, which was shot on location in British Columbia between May and July 2024, features Olsen alongside Miles Teller and Callum Turner in a high-concept exploration of the afterlife.
A “Script She Couldn’t Pass Up”
In interviews released this week, Olsen described the project as a rare find. The story follows Joan (Olsen), who, upon entering the afterlife, is forced to choose which of her two husbands she will spend eternity with. “It was a script I knew I couldn’t pass up,” Olsen told Hollywood Outbreak on 14 February 2026. “It reframes the idea of second chances in a way that feels both spectacular and deeply human.”
While the film has received mixed reviews from critics—some calling it a “bittersweet masterpiece” and others finding the premise “disjointed”—Olsen’s performance is being hailed as the anchor of the production. This follows a successful 2025 for the actress, which saw her garnering acclaim for the familial grief drama His Three Daughters alongside Carrie Coon and Natasha Lyonne.
The Scarlet Witch Legacy
Despite her current success in the “rom-dramedy” genre, the shadow of the Scarlet Witch remains. Recent industry reports suggest that a direct WandaVision sequel has become increasingly unlikely due to shifting Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) strategies. However, Olsen continues to speak fondly of her decade-long tenure with Marvel, even as she explores more grounded, independent fare like Wind River and Ingrid Goes West.
Editor’s Note: For those looking to catch up on Olsen’s latest work, Eternity is now available for streaming in Canada on Apple TV+. The film’s BC-based production has also been noted for its significant contribution to the local film industry during its 2024 filming window.
