Hopkins could play an invalid in a coma and still make it interesting.

Hopkins my other favorite actor beside Gary Oldman.

It would be cool to see him against Willis, Malkovich and Mirren.

Uh oh, I hope Marvel let's the schedule's cooperate. I get the feeling that Anthony Hopkins wouldn't be afraid to leave Thor 2 for another project if he REALLY wanted to be apart of that other project.
