Kathryn Hahn introduced Elizabeth Olsen at Variety's #PowerofWomen dinner: “She was so patient with all of my questions. Who is Ultron? What is that glove with all the gems on it?”
“When it was just the two of us working on the finale, our base camp had two cars...She was very patient as it took me like a solid 40 minutes to ‘10-1’…which in the movie business, is to urinate. I had a lot of costume on, and a very small bladder.”
