I think Brian Blessed should be Odin, he looks more like him and I could definately see him in Asardian armour. However, Anthony Hopkins wouldn't be bad either.

Please, for the love of God, can we keep that hack of an actor out of this movie? It's already bad enough that we've got Kenneth Branaugh, who HONESTLY thought Wild Wild West was a great movie, directing Thor. We don't need a guy that was good in, what, TWO film roles to play himself playing Odin.

Ok I was a firm believer in Blessed for the role from his days on Black Adder as a murderous medieval nobleman. However, Hopkins is intriguing and can also look the part

I also like Connery for the role, but Hopkins will do a good job. The bottom line is that all three of those men are known for overacting, and the character of Odin is loud and brash so it's a good fit all around.

I think he would make a Great Odin!!! He's got so much potential for any part he plays... He's just such a versatile actor, that can portray any character he plays very well without seeming like he's detached from the movie.. I vote Yes for Anthony Hopkins as Odin. He may not have all the muscle that an Asgardian should have. But he sure has the acting skills and that eye drawing intensity characteristic that not many other actors have. You want Odin to look strong, but more importantly. You want him to be a Strong well developed character, and I think Anthony Hopkins can very well pull that off...

As for Hopkins - awesome. Brian Blessed's physique and his personality fit much better with Volstagg, as others have said. I don't know that I could take him completely seriously as Odin.
" bigger question is who should play Thor, Personally I think Triple H, of WWE fame would make for an awesome Thor. and while we are on it. I think Jim Carrey should play Loki, he can be funny and menacing. just watch "23" "The part of Thor was cast months ago. He will be played by Chris Hemsworth, as G-Man states in the opening post. Tom Hiddleston is playing Loki.
