Movie News: Anthony Hopkins to Play Odin in Upcoming Thor Fim

Thor 2011
According to Variety magazine, Anthony Hopkins has been officially cast in Marvel's upcoming movie, Thor. The movie is slated to begin production in January.

Hopkins will play the part of Odin, the King of Asgard and father of both Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddelston).

Hopkins has made his career off of films like Meet Joe Black, Titus, Dracula, The Elephant Man, and most notably as the intelligently sinister Hannibal Lector in the Silence of the Lambs series of films.
 

The Avengers 2012
It is also rumored that the 2012 upcoming “Avengers” film will be returning Mr. Olympia to the role of The Incredible Hulk. Yes, Lou Ferrigno is being considered as the voice of the Hulk. Now fans needn’t worry, Edward Norton will be returning to the role of Bruce Banner, but once he mutants into the lean green smashing machine, it’s possible we could be hearing the voice of the original Hulk.

 

fOf course fans are going to be a little “iffy” about this choice, and many of them say a “qualified” actor is needed for this to be successful. But I think many of us in the world can agree that Lou’s face will not be seen, nor will his acting ability. All he will be doing is yelling, grunting and screaming right?

 

That’s all for now. I can only hope that more news in the DC film developments will reveal itself and I can start join the rest of the crowd and….well…blog about it right? I hope the pick a good actress to play Wonder Woman.
