Olsen is set to take on the role of Audrey Mae Williams in I Saw The Light, which is released later this year, alongside the fellow Marvel actor.
While both Olsen and Hiddleston have starred in Marvel movies, this is the first time that they have shared the screen together.
There was some controversy around the casting of Hiddleston in the role of the legendary singer, but Olsen says he 'nailed' his performance.
Speaking to Digital Spy, the actress said: "He is so talent. He is incredible, He is so gracious. He really nailed it.
"I know some people were confused by why he was cast as the part, but you won't think twice about when you watch the movie."
I Saw the Light is directed and written by Marc Abraham and charts the rise of Williams and impact that fame and success had on his life.
As for Olsen, we are going to see her back as Scarlet Witch in Captain America: Civil War in the spring. This will be the second Marvel film for Olsen and the first time that she has stepped into the Captain America franchise.
She is also set to reunite with Jeremy Renner on new film Wind River, which starts filming next week. The movie will mark the feature film directorial debut for Taylor Sheridan.
I Saw the Light is released 6th May.
