Elizabeth Olsen has gone from small indie dramas to huge blockbusters in the blink of an eye.

Not only is the acclaimed actress in “Godzilla,” she also landed the coveted role of Scarlet Witch in “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” which she stars in alongside “Godzilla” co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson (who plays Quicksilver).

But the two weren’t entirely comfortable going into the superhero sequel.

“It is intimidating going into a production where everyone has their characters fully fleshed out and they know their weaknesses and they have their comedy,” Olsen said. “Aaron and I don’t really have the luxury of time to develop those.”

Luckily, Olsen had a great director to help her with, “all those things [that] make you feel more confident before you’re like, what up Jeremy, let’s do it. You stay in your tights, I’ll stay in mine, and we’ll defeat… things.”

What “things” Olsen might be referring to she wouldn’t say, but apparently she’s already gotten knee deep into some superheroics.

“I’ve been doing some fun stuff,” Olsen explained. “I am unique in this world, and so it’s fun to do what I get to do, because it is different. And I think it also is fun for Joss because we’re developing and creating something together, and he’s getting really excited by it.”

Though Olsen has met all of her fellow Avengers on set, they have unfortunately yet to take what we’re sure will be the most epic group photo ever.

“I’m so excited for that to happen,” Olsen said giddily. “I really ...

Harrison Ford could make some sci-fi fans really, really happy.

The actor, who already thrilled fans by reprising his role as Han Solo “Star Wars: Episode VII,” has been publicly offered the role of Rick Deckard in Ridley Scott’s unnamed “Blade Runner” sequel, “Variety” reports.

Deckard was the main character in the original film, a so-called blade runner hired to destroy rogue replicants (human-like robots) in a dystopian future. The film is one of the biggest influences on modern sci-fi, with its dystopian look informing everything from “Looper” to “Hunger Games.”

While Ford’s name has been brought up before in anticipation of the sci-fi followup, this is the first official word we have that he’s been in discussions for the project. Now, the role is his for the taking… if he wants it.

That’s really the big question, as Ford, unlike many other movie stars, has not been so quick to cash in on big-time blockbuster opportunities — though with roles in “Ender’s Game” and the new “Star Wars,” he might be rethinking that philosophy.

Still, this is different, as the script was co-written by original “Blade Runner” scribe Hampton Fancher and will be directed by Scott. If Ford signs on, then a huge part of the creative team from the original movie will be back, over thirty years later.

There are no details about the sequel, including how big Ford’s role might be, other than the fact that it takes place a few decades after the original — something which also ...

Nicholas Hoult has acted alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood and is dating Jennifer Lawrence. But the actor, who plays Beast in “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” was surprisingly starstruck when he found out that he was on the cover of a Twinkies box.

“I’m on a Twinkies box!” Hoult said, looking at the box in some kind of awe. “I’m big time.”

You can work with Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman, but once you’re on an X-Men Twinkies box for a movie tie-in, you know you’ve made it. So what’s Hoult going to do with himself now that he’s a big-time Twinkies celebrity?

“Well, I don’t have to be doing this interview anymore,” Hoult joked, as he began to walk away from our own Josh Horowitz.

But there was more to see, as Hoult discovered he was on the top of the box as well! And that’s not even mentioning the fact that the Twinkies’ blue raspberry filling is clearly inspired by Beast’s blue fur.

All the Twinkie talk was getting Hoult hungry, and with the Twinkies right there…

“I’ll have that as a snack for later,” Hoult said, though his tune changed a little when Josh gave him one of the delectable treats.

“Were you saving that for later?” Hoult asked. “It’s so warm.”

You know what’s warmer than the slightly squished snack? Nicholas Hoult’s heart. Now that he knows he’s on a Twinkies box, he knows he’s finally arrived in Hollywood. We’re glad we did our ...

We got our first look at Ben Affleck as Batman yesterday courtesy of director Zack Snyder, and by all accounts, it was pretty wonderful.

Our excitement over the new Bat-suit got us thinking: what’s the best, most goosebump-inducing first look at a superhero ever, and where does the reveal of Batfleck rank? Here’s a rundown of some of our favorites.

12) “Hulk” Teaser Trailer

Ang Lee’s 2003 version of the Hulk is one of the most polarizing superhero movies, regarded by some as an artistic failure, a curious blip on the radar of Marvel successes.

The first teaser trailer for “Hulk” is not polarizing: it’s just awesome. Eric Bana delivers a great Jekyll & Hyde-inspired monologue with just the right about of crazy, and though we never see the full Hulk, seeing Bana’s eye and face morph before he destroys a house made fans eager to see what would be on the big screen.

11) Chris Hemsworth As Thor

“Thor” was probably Marvel’s riskiest venture at the time. The thunder god isn’t a normal superhero, and Marvel was faced with the task of making him true to the comics while still being believable in a connected universe.

Everyone wanted to know what newcomer Chris Hemsworth, then known as the guy who played Captain Kirk’s dad in J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek,” would look like. The first image, featuring a brooding Hemsworth in costume, managed to show how the movie would be respectful to Thor’s medieval look, and that Hemsworth was a ginormous human being who ...

If I were a mad scientist (like, say, Victor Frankenstein), and I mixed “American Horror Story” with “True Detective,” while sprinkling in bits of “Sherlock,” “True Blood” and “Lost,” I’d probably get something akin to Showtime’s “Penny Dreadful.”

The show’s first episode, “Night Work,” is notable for how well-paced and confident it is, allowing us to bask in the show’s atmosphere and beautiful but grotesque creations.

And despite being a gripping hour of TV, the episode also tells us almost nothing about the show’s plot going forward, revealing a bunch of mysteries, characters (some, like Victor Frankenstein, from literature, and some, like Josh Hartnett’s gunslinging Ethan Chandler, who aren’t — at least not yet), and possible story threads. Here’s everything you need to know about the series premiere:

Let’s Talk About That Opening

Now that’s what I call an intro. A young woman awakes from her bed, her child sleeping soundly. Everything is very slow and deliberate, she’s totally fine, until, oh wait, she just got snatched by a monster through a window.

In one short sequence that has absolutely nothing (so far, at least) to do with the show’s plot, it established immediately a unique tone, setting, and visual style; and managed to deliver one hell of a jump scare to boot.

Eva Green’s A Creepster
Green plays Vanessa Ives, a character (also not from any piece of literature) who appears to be the partner of Timothy Dalton’s Sir Malcolm Murray. And she’s about as awesomely creepy as it gets. Just check it out when ...

The characters in Jon Favreau’s “Chef,” which stars Favreau, Scarlett Johansson, John Leguizamo, and many others, love food… and, according to Leguizamo, we mean they love food.

“I love that the sex scene is him cooking,” Leguizamo told MTV News.

Of course, the beautiful ladies star and director Favreau cast as his love interests in the movie didn’t hurt, especially on set.

“How about the girlfriends he has?” Leguizamo said. “How bout the women he surrounds himself with? That’s what I liked about the movie the most.

“He has Scarlett Johansson as his girlfriend, Sofia Vergara as his ex-wife… if he had Kerry Washington he would’ve had the whole spectrum.”

Clearly, as Leguizamo said, there’s “power in cooking” to be able to attract so many gorgeous women. Still, an erotic scene involving food? Really?

“Scarlett can make anything erotic,” Leguizamo explained. “Look at her, just the voice you’re already like, oh God.”

Being in the movie was fun for more than just the food and beauties, though. Favreau’s sets are famous for their emphasis on improv, and when Favreau warned Leguizamo about the open nature of the script, the actor told his director, ” ‘You’re gonna have trouble shutting me up.’ And he did. But he’d let me try. I said some racy, racy, crazy s***, so it was fun.”

Cooking, sex, and comedy. Sounds like the trifecta to us.

Check out “Chef,” which hits theaters today (May 9).
