Elizabeth Olsen Discusses Becoming a Dodgers Superfan

Ahead of her new film Eternity, in which she stars alongside Callum Turner and Miles Teller, Olsen appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday night.
Dodgers Fandom Meets Marvel

Fan Gifts and Growing Connection
Olsen explained that she only became a dedicated Dodgers fan in recent years. Fans of hers now gift her Dodgers-themed items at comic-cons, such as a Scarlet Witch headpiece painted to show Dodgers spirit and a homemade Kike Hernandez t-shirt.
“In some ways, it’s been interesting because there are Marvel fans, and so I’m on the other end of that, right?” Olsen said. “And it wasn’t really until I started, like, doubling down every year on the Dodgers for the last eight years — because it’s kind of a new thing, it wasn’t my whole childhood — that I started to realize how much I am a fan of it.”
Kimmel helped clarify her point, stating that Olsen now better understands what Marvel fans “were all screaming about.” She added it was “with love and curiosity, not in a — I wasn’t judging it.”
