The renowned actress Elizabeth Olsen, famous for her role as Wanda Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is pregnant with her first baby, as confirmed by PEOPLE magazine. The 37-year-old performer and her husband, musician Robbie Arnett, are awaiting the arrival of their first child together.

The first images that have circulated show Olsen recently in Los Angeles with a slightly unbuttoned shirt that revealed her incipient pregnant belly, which sparked the rumors that are now confirmed.

The actress and Arnett married in 2020, just before the start of the coronavirus pandemic. This baby will be the couple's first child.

Elizabeth Olsen's career

The new member of the family will grow up in a first-rate artistic environment. Not only because of her mother's success in blockbusters such as “Doctor Strange” in the Multiverse of Madness or the acclaimed series “WandaVision” (for which she received an Emmy nomination), but also because of the world fame of her aunts, the famous twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who became iconic in the comedy “Full House” and starred in numerous family films during the 90s and early 2000s.

Far from living off her last name alone, Elizabeth Olsen cemented her career as a serious actress in her own right. After her acclaimed performance in the independent thriller “Martha Marcy May Marlene” (2011), directed by Sean Durkin and alongside Sarah Paulson, she earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination. That success led her to join Marvel in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (2014), a role she would reprise in multiple installments of The Avengers and in her own Disney series.

As for her personal life, the actress shared that both she and Arnett enjoy a low profile. In an interview with PEOPLE in November of last year, Olsen revealed that her ideal date plans are more homely: "It depends on what city I'm in. We're in Los Angeles, so I guess my dream date there is cooking a meal at home and watching a movie."

The news comes as fans of the Marvel universe continue to speculate about the future of her character, after the actress herself declared in recent interviews that she will not appear in the next installments of “Avengers: Doomsday” or “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
