Elle Brody, Ford’s wife and a nurse in the 2014 film “Godzilla,” was portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen.
Olsen plays Elle as part of the Brody family at the center of Gareth Edwards’s monster-film reboot. She lives in San Francisco with her husband, Ford Brody, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and their young son, Sam. Elle works as a nurse at San Francisco General Hospital, where the spreading monster crisis eventually reaches her.
A common mix-up comes from the film’s other major female character: Juliette Binoche plays Sandra Brody, Joe Brody’s wife and Ford’s mother. Sandra appears in the 1999 portion of the story and is connected to the nuclear-plant disaster in Japan, while Olsen’s Elle belongs to Ford’s later family life.
“Godzilla” was released in 2014 as the first film in Legendary’s MonsterVerse continuity. Olsen was already known for independent dramas and later became widely associated with Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in Marvel films, but Elle Brody is one of her notable pre-Marvel blockbuster roles.
