Elizabeth Olsen has finally addressed rumors of her possibly replacing her twin sisters Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen on "Fuller House". During the premiere of her new movie "I Saw the Light", Elizabeth was asked if she had watched the popular Netflix reboot.
" 'Fuller House', have you watched?" asked an E! News reporter, to which Elizabeth replied, "I watched the first episode." The reporter then asked her opinion on the series reboot. "It was great," the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" actress said while smiling. "I didn't want to comment on it. But I did watch it."
When asked if she got an offer to replace her twin sisters as Michelle Tanner on "Fuller House", Elizabeth said she certainly didn't get it. "If I did, I'm pretty sure no one on my team heard it or neither did I," she explained. "I don't know where that started."
When the reporter mentioned "producer," Elizabeth said she "can't say a bad word" about executive producer Jeff Franklin because he's "known me since I was an infant."
Back in January, John Stamos told Andy Cohen that they were trying to get Elizabeth to step in as Michelle Tanner. "We actually went to - I don't think this has been talked about. I didn't do it. I think [executive producer] Jeff Franklin did," John said, "I said, 'Call the sister [Elizabeth]. Ask her... We talked to her agent and her agent was like, 'Come on. She's not going to do that.' But we did call her agent."
