I was under the impression that Brian Blessed had been cast (as reported HERE back in June). Maybe that was just never finalized. So could the man known for liking "fava beans and a nice chianti" be the one to control the Odin Force? I have a great deal of respect for Anthony Hopkins but I don't know if I see him as Odin. He's a great actor but I see someone more...barbaric?
The addition of Hopkins will add to the star power of the movie directed by Kenneth Branagh. We already have Chris Hemsworth as Thor along with Natalie Portman and Tom Hiddleston appearing. I don't think we've heard firm denial over the Jude Law/Rober DeNiro rumors either. There's also the chance of Samuel L. Jackson popping in as Nick Fury.
Do you think Anthony Hopkins would do Odin justice? Can you picture the former Hannibal Lector as Thor's daddy?

I'd have a hard time seeing Hopkins in this role, Brian Blessed seems like the absolute perfect match.
Hopkins is one of those actors that becomes his character so much he vanishes into it.
He'll probably be amazing.
I think he can carry the attitude and speech. I just don't know about him physically. This is the image of Brian Blessed I posted back in June:
Now that image is from a while back but this is more who I'd see as Odin.

For anyone that's seen Beowulf I actually think Anthony Hopkins will be a great Odin. I can't wait.

@Darkchild: But it sounds like he's out and Hopkins might be in.
@War Killer: I agree, let's get this movie started already!

Awesome, Hopkins is a Great Actor... I Can't Wait for the Movie, really excited !!

@mrduckluck: Es posible, pero yo pienso que Odin debe ser mas grande o alto. Hopkins es un buen actor y yo creo que el puede ser un bien trabajo pero vamos necesitar perar hasta vemos picturas en disfraz.
