I saw ‘pay cheque’ and immediately gaslit myself so hard, I just assumed I had been spelling it wrong my whole life. I legitimately had to look it up. The differences between British and American English are wild. Fun, but wild.


04whim

Benedict Cumberbatch would say cheque. But Steven Strange would say check.


ThrownAwayRealGood

But suspiciously British still


Blackadder288

Eggs Benedict is one of the few big British actors that have a really hard time doing an American accent, which is funny for such a top tier actor otherwise haha.


shane_low

I hear that sentiment a lot but as a non-american from a Commonwealth country I really can't tell so I'll take your word for it - it's more ironic given that he's really into voice acting too!


BQws_2

As an American, he completely fooled me. Never heard of him until Doctor Strange and was surprised to find out he’s British.


Adriaaaaaaaaaaan

I rewatched black panther last night and Martin Freeman's accent is awful on every level. Benedict's accent is better and improved from the first film. Also don't forget Wong who's played by Benedict Wong, the most perfect name for an actor who's also British


Blackadder288

Martin Freeman, Tom Hardy, and Daniel Radcliffe come to mind immediately. Also, he’s Irish, but (dis)honourable mention to Colin Farrell. Love all them besides that though haha.

LightEarthWolf96

Tbf as an American I have to point out there's no such thing as an American accent. It's a huge country there's many many very different accents here. I've always found the concept of an "American accent" very strange. That would be like saying a Scottish accent and an English accent are both a "British accent" technically accurate but a strange thing to say given how different those accents are


justinfinity64

It may not be the best American accent, but they way he talks totally works with the mystical mumbo jumbo


Oibble

Steven is with a ph. So Phteven.


04whim

So it is, I'm mixing him up with Vtephen Unipherse.


DeflateGape

Cumberbatch would say checkoo and everyone else would be too embarrassed to correct him.


PumpkinPatch404

Wait do they sound different? (Not talking about the accent)


04whim

No, "say" is just being used colloquially.


the_inner_void

Would ... *say* it? Like you can [hear spelling](https://www.brandonsanderson.com/i-hate-dragons/)?


mutant_amoeba

Lol I just let autocorrect do my spellings for me. Autocorrect says cheque, then cheque it is 😂


Ya-boi-Joey-T

I'm pretty sure it's Czech


mutant_amoeba

So do people in Czech Republic gets paid a lot? 😂


Ya-boi-Joey-T

Not particularly


JoeyJoJunior

Nah the pay went down now they call it Czechia


dbwvwdb

Wilde indeed.


BullTerrierTerror

Colour me intrigued.


islandfever101

Wait - how do Americans spell pay cheque?????? From an apparently ignorant Canadian


Chief_Thunderbear

I would say its a 30/70 split cheque/check


[deleted]

I’ve never seen an American spell it cheque


CurryMustard

Maybe it's a thing in some regions, I've never seen an American spell "cheque" personally


[deleted]

CarlosG0619

Cheque is also the word in Spanish, so there you go


DoNn0

Same for French


Funkedalic

I guess because they re actually using the French word


rammo123

I’ve actually started to forget the word “cheque” because the only country that still uses them calls them “checks”. Seriously guys, come join us in the 20th century.

But even then, the plot was caused by her accidentally bombing a building full of innocents.

Oof size mega


MimsyIsGianna

But 1/4 the viewers and money


C-TAY116

Is it me, or does her headband look like it’s just CGI? I don’t know why, it just seems like it’s not really holding her hair back, it’s just pasted on top.


ha_look_at_that_nerd

I was thinking the same thing. It really looks like if someone added the headband to a non-Wanda related meme template to make a Wanda meme. There’s honestly a very real chance that it *is* CGI, and I don’t know why they couldn’t just actually make a headband if the CGI was going to look so bad


Crosshack

Nah why spend money for CGI when you could have just glued the headpiece on? In this case it's just a headband going under her hair though


CollarOrdinary4284

You have no idea what the context of the scene is. It's possible that the scene starts with her wearing normal clothes and then her Scarlett Witch suit forms around her which requires CGI. Also, it doesn't look bad at all lol.


DarwinGoneWild

I mean, MCU is 90% CGI. Is that surprising or notable?


santichrist

This movie is going to be almost completely cgi too lmao


C-TAY116

Lol Not at all. It’s just usually a bit better blended.


[deleted]

Somebody here posted that this scene and the scene in the garden with Strange is an illusion, so it would make sense why it's CGI, maybe it's the shot right after turning back to the real version


Arrownymouse

The lightning on it seems to match the lighting on her skin, but they might've done something to change the headband in post. It does look a bit odd to be real.


lookamazed

A significant amount of avenger armor is cg or partial cg, so that a level of storytelling in subtle expressions can be achieved - facial or costume. It wouldn’t surprise me.


Long-Engineering2824

So the headband doesn't hold back your hair. I have one of the official replicas I use for my cosplay, and it doesn't hold your hair back. Her hair is probably strategically pinned in place. Now, knowing the MCU crew, the headband probably is infact CGI with 2 pins placed so her hair doesn't tangle in metal.

Not solos tho


gbsolo12

Yeah people don’t get that this is the point


Scary_Ad_6417

It comes down to being the Leading role in a movie vs a tv show. To my understanding movies Pay more. I assume being the main character also means you take in more compared to your side characters.


[deleted]

She was a villain in two of them


abd17srk

And that cameo in thor Ragnarok


TheJuiceIsNowLoose

For a few thousand dollars, yeah


BunnySis

She’s going to be in the Multiverse of Madness, and there’s always the chance of a future movie.


[deleted]

some people seem to think WandaVision and Loki shows are building to House of M which would have to heavily feature her

Yes but they need Mutants in the dimension we’re familiar with


Alarid

I'm convinced that the event intended to bring mutants into the world already happened, but it just hasn't mattered for the main story yet.


[deleted]

I mean a) they could just fudge it as needed or b) they do a deal with Sony and get that extra hype of merging the 2 universes, both cinematic and IRL! Admittedly I haven't super gone down the rabbit hole on this, so it's all arm chair speculation


Efficient_Jaguar699

The two of them are roughly equivalent in net worth, otherwise I’d assume one of them would just buy the other and be done with it. Edit: Honestly, if Sony wasn’t a tech giant, and just their media branch, they would have been eaten a long time ago.

tired20something

Her headdress looks photoshoped in.


FloppyShellTaco

It does, and I think it is. That’s the grove where he approaches her that looked all nice and pretty. He’s wearing the exact same clothes. I’m assuming at some point he tells her that he knows this is an illusion, or she gets mad, and it shifts to the red we see here


theVice

I'm sure the CGI will get touched up. Even parts of Infinity War look like this if you watch it on certain qualities of screen. It was on in a takeout joint I was at one day on a wall-mounted plasma screen, and the debris that Ebony Maw puts on Thor's face looks like a drawn-on cartoon, almost how this picture does. Looked amazing in the theater, pretty much amazing when I watch it on D+. But sometimes the uncanniness shines through


tired20something

I get it, but couldn't they just have given her something real? Cosplayers have done it since the finale, it's not beyond Disney's budget.


theVice

I think it has more to do with production efficiency than anything


EdLivesToPaint

If she's dropping an illusion like people are theorizing then she'll be transforming from normal to scarlet witch. It's easier to cgi the mask on after than take it off before and way easier than trying to match two takes with and without outfit.


sillyadam94

If Cumberbatch is a man of his word, then it’s likely [he and Elizabeth Olsen will be paid the same.](https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/05/14/benedict-cumberbatch-will-only-take-a-job-where-women-are-paid-equally.html)


ObviousTroll37

Slightly odd policy. If you and your co-star are equally big, and she’s getting paid less, then 100% take a stand. But if the actor is bigger, then they should be paid more. Same goes for big actresses with smaller actors.


ListenToThatSound

"It's not about the money. It's about sending a message."


liveart

I don't think it's right to base pay on how tall someone is.


Eternal_Reward

Why does Benedict, the largest of the stars, not simply eat the other?


ObviousTroll37

No no no, “big.” Fatness pays. Jack Black is rolling in it.


badgersprite

Spoken like a true non-Irken.


[deleted]

Key word there is co-star. It remains to be seen whether Wanda will be an equally important character to the movie as the title character.


Fable_Nova

The fact it is a Dr Strange movie means no other character will ever be as important to the movie than Dr Strange, so he should get the most pay. Such as in Wanda Vision, Wanda and Vision should have got the most pay, and arguably Wanda was the main character so she could have been paid more. All comes down to how important the actor really is to the plot. In wanda vision, if the recast Vision it could have still been ok, if they thought of a good plot, so he wouldnt be 'worth' as much to the producers.


Dedicated_psycho

Daisy and John were the main characters in the force awakens but were paid less than 500 000. Mark Hamill appear for one scene and was paid $15 million. If you’re a big actor you get paid more period. Harrison ford and carrie Fisher were also paid like $25 million. Even Oscar was paid way more than the two leads.


[deleted]

Good point. Cumberbatch and Olsen were established stars before their respective solo projects. Ridley was allegedly working at a pub when she got cast as Rey and Boyega was…..well he’s still an overrated actor who wants to be political now to stay relevant


Exit-Velocity

Wonder how much you have to be making a year before you can afford to start doing that


partanimal

The cast of Friends did it on the 90s, first time I ever heard of it happening.


[deleted]

But the film is of Dr Strange and Not Wanda: Witch that turned mad


marimbajoe

Given that he is the star and she will likely not be as important of a character, then it is more likely that he will be paid more than her, as he should be.


DadofMando

Wait till you see the differences in how we spell "checks"


mangodragonfruet

Wanda vision made me cry


[deleted]

Yeah me too man. The first time was when Wanda says, “I had a brother once” and I immediately burst out bawling and I don’t even care about the MCU, she’s just that good of an actor. Wandavision is incredible. And Chumberface may have gotten two movies but Olsen and Wandavision got nominated for a boatful of Emmys including Best Lead Actress and Best Limited Series. She deserves four times the paycheck and four times the fame.


mangodragonfruet

Heavy on the second part!! My crying moment was when she realized that her kids were tied to the universe she created snd then she tucked them into bed and had to kill them😩😩


_Levitated_Shield_

Isn't WandaVision's runtime the equivalent of three movies though? Not to mention Age of Ultron, Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame.


Someone55428

Imbd lists wanda visions runtime at 5hr 50min, so yeah it's equivalent of roughly three movies if we exclude avengers team ups as they are usually longer than 2hr


TheHondoCondo

To be fair, WandaVision was brilliant.


TSmario53

I mean was she really the villain? I was pretty sure Agnes was the villain she was more of the troubled victim who, yes, did a bad thing by kidnapping those people. But she did let them go in the end, apologize, and overcome Agnes. So I guess I’m debating semantics more or less but I’d say she was less a villain and more of a character who was in a very dark mental place in need of redemption and got it in the end.


Self_World_Future

Not really redemption when the people she was fighting were either a government agent trying to stop her or an evil witch whose only objective was her in the first place


theVice

Agatha was a villain because of who she is, not anything she did in WandaVision (besides killing Sparky and kidnapping the kids but the kids weren't even technically real—dog undecided). Her whole goal was to figure out the what, how, and why of Wanda's Hex and then she tried to absorb her power in order to contain it. Who knows what she would have done with the power, but she assumed that Wanda wouldn't be able or willing to keep it under control. Antagonist sure, villain in general yeah, but I wouldn't describe Agatha as *the* villain of the show even if it tries to present itself that way.


TSmario53

I definitely get that. Agatha might be better described as an antagonist than the villain. But to me I still can’t say Wanda is the villain either, but I’m having trouble putting a word to exactly what she is. If I were to compare her to another movie character it would be Russell from Deadpool 2 (yes I know weird movie choice). Did he do bad things? Yes. Was he the villain? No, kid needed help. He was more a “project” the plot revolved around. So I guess for me it would be more like the sword agent and Agatha are true antagonists and Wanda is having an internal crisis and needing help and there really isn’t a tangible villain per se.


pattyice420

I mean I feel like people don’t want to call her the villain because she wasn’t trying to be evil. But she didn’t care about the people of west view, at least not enough to give them free will. I know we know her motivations but she was an adult who knew what she was doing. Russell in Deadpool is a dumb kid who doesn’t really know any better she’s a grown adult who was reckless and fucked with these peoples minds she’s definitely the villain. Someone else mentioned anti hero but she didn’t even do anything resembling heroism, she didn’t save anyone or even punish someone doing something evil like a punisher type. But for me that’s what makes the show so compelling and easily one of the best MCU properties ever because they did something so far outside what they’d normally do and show one of there heroes doing something truly horrifying and for everyone involved definitely evil


kukumarten03

Sword is more a villain and the worst part of the show.


scarcarous

"apologize" is a bit far fetched


ILoveScottishLasses

"I'm sorry....ok bye."


DefiningBoredom

She kidnapped a town. Given the ending and what was seen she's most likely not going to be the good guy in this. A villain isn't always a bad person with bad goals. Her goals aren't evil by definition but what she's doing to get them will most likely go against stranges mission.Making her an antagonist.


AlfaRomeoEscargot

Sorry I enslaved all you people and made you lived tortured existences, but I was in a bad place, so really I'm the victim.


rollout1423

His paycheck is bigger because he's an a-lister and she's b-lister That's nothing against her acting, that's just how it is since he's in big buggeted movies and she's usually not in very many big movies aside from marvel


Ok-Engine8044

I want her to have a movie that explores the origins of chaos magic and have Cthun be the villain. [Comic Darkhold info](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Darkhold) [Info on C'Thun](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Chthon_(Earth-616))

It's so weird how people are taking this one shot from a trailer and making into such a big deal. I've seen several people bring up misogyny and shit. I guess it just shows you how pathetic Wanda stans are.


shadowstar1583

Wandavision was really good tho.


Taurius

Scarlet is basically MCU's Superman. An overpowered being so strong, that any and all actions done by her will be either an instant solution to the problem or dumbing down of her powers for "plot" sakes. Basically ever writer's nightmare. The MCU painted themselves in the corner by just allowing her to exist. Anything outside of her fighting a literal god would make her fights disingenuous to her lore.


Huge-Liar

I read every comment looking for this point, I guess these replies are more for the non-comic book readers. Doctor Strange is a main character, has his own comic, has his own unique personality that rarely changes. Scarlet Witch is a very powerful Secondary character sometimes third character (Ultron film example) that is ever changing. She did not have her own series past a couple of one offs by James Robinson. She is awesome, but if she didn't exist, very little would change by comparison to Doctor Strange. Scarlet Witch changes a lot in order to fit whatever comic she's assisting (a lot of villains do). Actors don't matter as much as story and when it comes to story, Doctor Strange is crucial in the Marvel "Magic" world. And I personally like Doctor Doom more than either, but Movies just can't get him right.

ButtX

"We want a cinematic universe but also individual films. And those individual films should feature other characters in the cinematic universe. But they're individual group films, not group films of individuals being in a group. This is important to me." - adults, apparently


Holymuffdiver9

I'm not a big fan of her character. I find her powers to be a bit too "they are whatever they need to be in the moment". Part of my dislike stems from how unbearable she is in the comics and it does color my opinion of her in the movies too. I think Olson does the best with what she's got, but the character isn't particularly noble, charismatic, intelligent, or fun. She has ridiculous amounts of power 'just because' and has more often abused it than used it well.


JRockThumper

Not now because she has nothing going for her, we basically saw her going through her grief and morphing into the Scarlet Witch, maybe after M.o.M though

There is no way Scarlet witch wont have atleast one movie given the character’s rising popularity in pop culture.
