Elizabeth Olsen has been a regular presence on our screens for a decade now, having made her feature film debut by delivering a powerhouse performance in acclaimed drama Martha Marcy May Marlene, and became a household name thanks to her involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Wanda Maximoff. And due to the success of Disney Plus’ WandaVision, which has seen the actress firmly and entirely deservedly enter the small screen awards season conversation, her stock has never been higher.
The advent of social media may have made it faster and easier than ever to both acquire and disseminate information, but for some reason, there appears to be a lot of fans who are only now discovering that she’s related to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Maybe it’s a generational thing, but you’d have thought it was an obvious connection to make given that they’ve got the same surname, they look incredibly similar to each other and they’ve even been to plenty of film premieres and other events as a trio, Still, as you can see from the reactions below, this is brand new information for many people.
I just found out that Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) from the Marvel universe is literally a fucking Olsen sister?! Like Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen are her sisters. Wow.

Sorry did people not know who Elizabeth Olsen was before Wandavision? Because the amount of people just discovering that she is related to Mary-Kate & Ashley is concerning to me? Again, adult pop cultural illiteracy is a real problem and I DO judge

Ah, I see we have entered the "Elizabeth Olsen is the sister of Mary Kate and Ashley" part of the cycle. I believe next is the "RDJ did WHAT in TROPIC THUNDER?" https://t.co/vO6xWuQqMW

I truly am shocked that it took people this long to learn about elizabeth olsen’s relation to mary-kate and ashley… I mean have you looked at their faces? the resemblance is uncanny
— Monica Bushoven (@monicadbushoven) February 23, 2021
I am probably going to learn that Elizabeth Olsen is related to Mary Kate and Ashley a few more times in life because it just isn't the kind of "you need this to survive" info I have to retain. I'll have a vague recollection at best. Surprise me again in three years?

It’s incredible to think that in our technologically-savvy age, it’s taken this long for a huge number of social media users to discover that Elizabeth Olsen is indeed the younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley. This is no doubt going to make the generation who grew up with the Olsen twins being all over their televisions feel ancient, and while the older siblings have stepped away from the onscreen limelight in recent years, you can’t help but wonder how so many people failed to notice the blindingly obvious family resemblance and shared name to make the connection. Just wait until they find out those three Hemsworth dudes are related, too.
