In the movie, Ansari plays a cocky slug named Mub; O'Dowd is his brave snail sidekick, Grub. Together they form a comedy team in the grand tradition of animated duos like Timon and Pumbaa, Buzz and Woody, and Shrek and Donkey.

Though he brings a lot of funny to "Epic," Ansari described his serious (and very made-up) preparation for the role. "Pitbull and I took a few classes at a nearby university to learn as much as we could about the insect world," he told MTV News. "We learned quite a bit."

O'Dowd was slightly less academic with his own "research" —"I just watched telly," he said.

"Epic" is in theaters now.

"I don't want to go too far ahead. I found myself talking about '8' yesterday and I had to stop myself," Diesel told MTV News, adding, "I will say that '7' is a reset."

Paul Walker piped up, "His ability to manifest stuff is like nobody else in the business, I'm going to tell you, and I've been a part of that for 10 plus years. Who is this guy, Nostradamus? It's pretty impressive, that's for sure."

It sounds like the greater plan is for a third trilogy to continue the storyline of "Fast & Furious 7," which is due in theaters on July 11, 2014. Diesel said that looking at the series in sets of three has helped them better develop its story.

"We realized when we came back to the franchise [in '2 Fast 2 Furious'] that it would be a cool thing if we could connect all our movies; if all of our movies felt like a continuous ride. So if you look at '4,' '5' and '6,' even, you'll see a continuous ride throughout where the films are speaking to each other," he said. "That wasn't the traditional way that Hollywood was making sequels at the time, as you know. A sequel was just another version of the same movie. What we were doing was continuing the story, so when you go to see 'Fast and Furious,' you're expecting bookends, you're expecting to pick up a little bit where you left off, and I think all of us collectively have done a great job of keeping the audience completely in the know."

Whatever does end up happening, expect the central cast of characters to return for it. "At the core, our saga is about family, which I feel separates us from other action films," Diesel said. "I don't see any movie, especially a movie of this size and of this nature and of this kind of action content, that puts such an emphasis on family, but ours is organic. Jordana [Brewster]'s been my sister, so to speak, for 14 years. We were all coming into this movie fresh and we were brothers and sisters from 1999. For better or for worse, that's what we are."

"He's entering the world in this kind pantheon of chaos in a certain way," Jeong explained to MTV News. "When I think of a 'Hangover' movie, I think of 'loving chaos.' Like Chow loves chaos, and he enters the world loving chaos -- you know, of the 'Hangover' movies -- and then he finishes the trilogy with he still wants to show everyone that he still loves chaos. That to me is a bigger kind of message that I got from that, which I love."

For Jeong, the nudity is just part of the fun of acting in these films. While he as a person isn't a fan of stripping down in front of strangers, Jeong actually was the person who originally suggested the idea of a naked Chow to director Todd Phillips.

"You don't. It was my idea. I don't know if you know, but it was my idea to pop out naked in the trunk in the first movie. When I read the script, Chow had clothes on, and I was thinking to myself, 'Chow has to be naked.' This is screaming for Chow to jump out naked. To me, it was screaming for that, and I actually asked Todd Phillips, 'Do you think I could do it naked?' and he said, 'You don't have to ask me twice.'

Jeong has played a number of memorable characters during his career, including "Community's" Señor Chang and "Knocked Up's" Dr. Kuni. Still, according to him, Chow is "the best character I've ever played."

"He's like Lucifer," Jeong explained. "He's like the devil, basically, because the Wolf Pack's got to do a deal with the devil to get Doug back in the first one and then Chow keeps popping in and out of the movies. And now you really get to see Chow really standing in the way of the Wolf Pack gaining their maturity and moving on with their lives. Just when you think the devil is done, think again."

"World War Z" is going to be getting a healthy dose of the Grammy-winning band Muse. Not only will two of the band's songs be featured in the film, but Muse will also perform at the movie's upcoming London premiere.

Paramount Pictures has revealed that two tracks from Muse's album "The 2nd Law," which debuted in 2012, will be featured in the movie. Muse has been featured prominently in a film before, as the band also had a big presence in "Twilight" back in 2008.

As part of their collaboration with "World War Z," Muse will also be performing after the London premiere of the film on June 2. Tickets for the live event will go on sale on May 28 at 9 a.m. BST. The concert will take place at Horse Guards Parade Ground at St. James's Park.

This isn't the first time the folks behind "World War Z" have tried to include fans in the movie's promotion. Star Brad Pitt recently surprised viewers with an early screening of "World War Z" in New Jersey because it was a location featured in the film.

"I said OK but we can't do it without showing it to the people we made the film for," Pitt said. "We got to do a screening for the fans, so we decided there's no better place to do that than Jersey."

Brad Pitt surprised fans in Hoboken, New Jersey two nights ago with a screening of his epic zombie flick, "World War Z." The actor wanted to throw a screening for the people that he made the movie for in the first place, so he decided to bring the film to New Jersey, one of the locations featured in "World War Z."

"I said OK but we can't do it without showing it to the people we made the film for," Pitt said. "We got to do a screening for the fans, so we decided there's no better place to do that than Jersey."

MTV Geek had a man on the ground for the screening, and he was able to see the movie and the fan reaction first hand. Head over there now to see how it all went down!

Jon Favreau directed a partially live-action ad for Bungie's follow-up to the "Halo" series, "Destiny." It's really cool, and we haven't even mentioned the cameo from Giancarlo "Gus Fring" Esposito.

There are only a handful of ways to experience the world of "Star Wars" for yourself, but most of them are pretty lame. You could buy a replica lightsaber, but it won't actually work. You could go to Disney World, but that Darth Vader is someone's nephew and will probably break into dance before long.

But for the 30th anniversary of the folks over at LEGO gave MTV Geek a chance to get close to an X-Wing that's as big of as the real thing... but you know, made out of LEGOs.

Fun fact: The entire thing took more than 5.3 million individual bricks to build and weighs (internal steel skeleton included) 46,000 pounds.

With the release Elijah Wood's first-person horror film "Maniac" only a month away, a new trailer for the project has premiered. It sets the mood of the story without giving too much of the plot away, and teases the type of scares the movie will deliver.

"Maniac" follows Wood as the "withdrawn owner of a mannequin store" whose urge to kill increases when he meets a young artist named Anna, played by Nora Arnezeder. The remake of the 1980 film of the same name already premiered at Cannes in 2012 and made the rounds in Europe earlier this year. It's earned generally positive reviews, and will be given a limited release in the US on June 21 and will also be released via VOD.

When MTV News caught up with Wood at the Sundance Film Festival, he teased how the first person perspective of the movie will work. "You only ever see me in reflections and occasionally there are out-of-body experiences where you see more of me," he said.

As for the fact it's a remake, Wood explained, "I normally don't love the notion of remakes. I've said that I'm averse to it, especially in horror films. But the approach was so different and so unique that I was really intrigued. It was fun."
