Elizabeth Olsen commanded attention on Monday night as she arrived for the UK premiere of her new romantic comedy Eternity, held at the striking Cinema In The Power Station at Battersea Power Station in London.
Red Carpet Elegance
The 36-year-old actress made a stunning appearance in a long, patterned dress that immediately captured the spotlight. She elevated her glamorous look with shiny green heels that added inches to her height, while accessorising with a bold gold necklace that complemented her ensemble perfectly.
Elizabeth wore her long dark hair slicked back away from her face, opting for a dewy and glowing makeup look that radiated sophistication. Her co-star Miles Teller, 38, joined her at the screening, looking dapper in a dark navy suit paired with a white shirt and red tie.
The Film and Creative Team
The romantic comedy Eternity features Elizabeth Olsen alongside Miles Teller and Callum Turner, marking another intriguing project from the acclaimed production company A24. The film is directed by David Freyne, with the script penned by Pat Cunnane, promising a compelling cinematic experience for audiences.
Notably, the film had its initial debut at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival before its London premiere, building anticipation for its nationwide theatrical release scheduled for November 26 through A24.
Streaming Stance Sparks Debate
The glamorous premiere comes amid recent controversy surrounding Olsen's comments about her film preferences. The actress revealed in an interview with InStyle that she will only commit to projects that guarantee a theatrical release, explicitly avoiding films destined solely for streaming platforms.
"If a movie is made independently and only sells to a streamer, then fine. But I don't want to make something where that's the end-all," Olsen stated. She emphasised the importance of communal viewing experiences, saying, "I think it's important for people to gather as a community, to see other humans, be together in a space."
However, her position has ignited significant backlash on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), with many users pointing out what they perceive as hypocrisy. Critics highlighted that one of Olsen's most prominent roles was in WandaVision, the Disney+ exclusive series that streamed directly to viewers' homes.
Additional scrutiny came from her participation in Netflix films including Kodachrome in 2017 and His Three Daughters in 2023. One social media user sharply commented: "How refreshing to hear an A-lister champion the sanctity of the theatrical experience from atop a mountain of Marvel money."
Another critic suggested financial motives behind her stance, stating: "Translation: I need more money and streaming isn't paying enough." The debate continues to unfold as the entertainment industry navigates the balance between traditional cinema releases and the growing dominance of streaming services.
