Yahoo Finance John Stamos salutes Elizabeth Olsen with Full House throwback on WandaVision finale day
Marvel's 'WandaVision' Is 'Unlike Anything Else'
'WandaVision' costars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany share insight into the exciting new Marvel TV series.
WandaVision riffed on many sitcoms during its nine-episode run, but only one of them had a direct connection to its star Elizabeth Olsen. The subtle nods at Full House throughout Marvel's latest superhero show reminded Olsen of her time on that set — and her old Full House connections haven't forgotten her either.
Olsen never played a role on Full House, but she spent time on the set as a young child visiting her sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, who shared the role of Michelle Tanner. "There was something very meta for my own life [working on WandaVision] because I would visit those tapings as a kid, where my sisters were working [on Full House]," Olsen recently told EW.
John Stamos, who played Michelle's lovable Uncle Jesse, certainly remembers her. On Friday, the day WandaVision's finale episode went live on Disney+, Stamos posted a throwback photo on Instagram of him and the young Olsen from Full House days.
"One day she's a little girl wandering the set, and next thing you know, she's taking over a whole town, mind-controlling the citizens to play out her favorite TV sitcoms!" Stamos wrote. "They grow up so fast…"
The post served as a plug both for the WandaVision finale and Stamos's own upcoming Disney+ show Big Shot, which is set to hit the streaming service in April.
