Anthony Hopkins Is Odin!

In an inspired bit of casting, Hannibal Lector; Anthony Hopkins has been cast as the Norse God Odin in Kenneth Brannagh’s upcoming Thor.

Odin, as fans of Thor will obviously already know, is the father of Thor and Loki. Chris Hemsworth has been cast as Thor while Tom Hiddleston is Loki. Oh, and Amidala herself; Natalie Portman is to play Thor’s love interest…

Thor is being written by Mark Protosevich and Zack Stentz.

This project just keeps sounding better and better.
