"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 their "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, mindcontrolling the citizens to play out her favorite TV Sitcoms! They grow up so fast... Wanda had a vision we’d both be on @disneyplus Check out #BigShot coming in April and @wandavision Tonight!"

Stamos's own upcoming Disney+ show, "Big Shot", is set to hit the streaming service in April.
