10 Actors Destined To Become Big Stars In 2014

3. Elizabeth Olsen

Who Is She?: It still surprises me that Elizabeth Olsen didn't blow up straight away after Martha Marcy May Marlene came out, because it was a role so clearly worthy of an Academy Award nomination, and yet the wake of that work left some heavy precursor praise and then a very quick cooling period. Olsen has worked consistently ever since, in the likes of Silent House, Red Lights, Liberal Arts and Spike Lee's Oldboy remake. This year has two very high profile projects indeed lined up for Olsen, namely Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, and The Avengers: Age of Ultron, the latter of which will see Olsen playing Scarlet Witch. If she can't become a star with movies like this on her plate, and with talent like she has, then there's truly some sort of curse placed on her career.
