Shortly in an audio interview with Fox All Access, Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins, all-father 'Odin' of Marvel's much-anticipated THOR film, praised director Kenneth Branagh's ability of taking such a project. The veteran actor also talks of recent reshoots, as well the dynamic of the film, listen below.



Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the epic adventure "Thor" spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.


With a Tv-spot confirmed to appear during the 45th annual Super Bowl XLV, Sunday, February 6, 2011, 6:30pm ET on FOX, THOR storms into theaters May 6, in 3D!

This movie will probably be one of the best ever made.

This is the first assuring thing I've heard from Hopkins. I'm sure he'll be great as Odin but the past interviews with him made it sound like he didn't really care about the character. Anthony, maybe you should follow Tom Hiddleston's example and read at least ONE comic!

Why is it that when First Class reports that they're going through some reshoots, some people seem to think it's a sign of the movie falling apart, yet with Thor it can be casually mentioned and no one bats an eye?

"I hear it's a very good film"

Good. Good.

@dfresh: brand loyalty and experience. Marvel have entertained generations with worlds of wonder and larger than life characters which people have grown to love. Fox have shown little regard or insight into why these characters became so loved in the first place. So, figure it out why one gets more slack than the other. :)

@Idoit4lolz, what's wrong with my avatar? You got a problem with Grant Morrison and Marc Silvestri?

@Keith - Marvel Studios has released a total of 3 movies in their company history. Fox has produced roughly 1,500. Clearly experience falls in Marvel's favor.

@dfresh: You asked, I gave you the answer. If you want to be deliberately obtuse and not understand the answer, then that's your problem.
