BY ODIN’S BEARD!??!?!
Are we close to finding out who is officially in to wear Odin’s Beard? It seems that Anthony Hopkins has been approached for the role and is currently in talks to take the job. While nothing is final yet, I hope this comes to pass!
Sir Anthony Hopkins is in talks to play a Norse Allfather in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. Hopkins is said to be for the role of Odin, father to Thor and his evil adopted brother Loki.
If not Brian Blessed, this would be my pick for the powerful yet soft father figure of all Norse Mythology.
Odin is often depicted in the myths as stern yet compassionate. A wild temper only fueled by his sensitive emotions. Hopkins has proven he can be scary ass in presence and rages with the best of them. But he is a soft gentle soul as well.
This would be perfect for me.
