For Elizabeth Olsen, growing up really was a “Full House.”

The “WandaVision” star has opened up about carving out her own path in Hollywood amid the fame of her older sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

While the Marvel star has been successful in her own right, she acknowledges her famous pedigree may have had influence during the start of her career.

“Nepotism is a thing and I’m very aware of it,” she told Grazia magazine.

Whether or not being related to the Olsen Twins opened doors, the “Avengers” star never wanted to take advantage of their celebrity status.

"And of course, I've always wanted to do it alone,” Olsen added.

After initially starring in independent films like “Martha Marcy May Marlene” and “Very Good Girls,” Olsen made a major breakthrough getting cast as Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch in the “The Avengers.”

The character has since been spun off onto the Disney+ series “WandaVision” and has become a breakout hit.

On Friday, fans of the series were left stunned after tuning into the show’s latest episode and finding an error message due to a Disney+ outage.

“We’re currently experiencing slow internet speed connections,” said one message, “Please check to see that you are still connected to the internet, and try again (Error Code 76),” while others saw a more succinct note that simply read “An unexpected error has occurred.”

Deadline reports that the Disney+ outage lasted for around ten minutes and affected a limited number of subscribers before the issue was resolved.

New episodes of “WandaVision” premiere Fridays on Disney+.
