Anthony Hopkins Cast in Thor

Marvel’s moderately awaited big screen adaptation of Thor has a new God in the form of, well – who else? Sir Anthony Hopkins will play Odin, father to Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston), according to reports from Variety. Bringing an actor of capability and audience appeal is a smart move on Marvel’s part and is sure to increase interest in this film, which isn’t lighting too many fires from what I can see.

Clearly Hopkins is a Ghostbusters fan and when someone asked him if he was a God, he said Yes.
