Elizabeth Olsen confirms she’s playing Scarlet Witch (aka Wanda Maximoff) in Avengers: Age of Ultron in new MTV News interview promoting Oldboy.

 

Oldsen plays the twin sister of Quicksilver (Pietro Maximoff) played by Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson – who plays Olsen’s husband in the upcoming Godzilla reboot:

 

“We get to play husband and wife, and we get to play twin brother and sister,” she said. “It’s also fun because even though in ‘Godzilla’ we play husband and wife, we don’t have a lot of scenes together. I just love him. I love his family. I love his kids. I’m so excited…to actually work with each other. I think it’s going to be fun.” Continue reading Elizabeth Olsen Confirms She’s Scarlet Witch in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

I’m hoping in the third adventure Hemsworth gets to play the bold, brash Viking super-warrior again.  Continue reading THOR: THE DARK WORLD Review and THOR 3 Wishes

Man of Steel can soar to your home. It seems like I just saw Henry Cavill flying on the big screen.
Here’s what I said then about the Superman reboot:

 

Bringing a superhero like Superman into today’s world before today’s audience is a huge challenge so I commend the men and women behind Man Of Steel for taking this on. There are moments in the film I absolutely loved. It some ways it worked beautifully – in some ways I could only think, “That’s…not Superman.” Continue reading MAN OF STEEL Comes Home

Hard comic book fans know a classic cosmic bad guy when they see one but some viewers of THOR: THE DARK WORLD may be saying, “Who is that?” just like when Thanos revealed his menacing grin the post-credit Avengers teaser.

 

In the first post-credit teaser after the Thunder God’s second adventure, Marvel treated us to…
