Anthony Hopkins has been cast as Norse god Odin in Marvel Studios' Thor, to be directed by Kenneth Branagh starting January.
Odin is the father of Thor and Loki, to be played by Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, respectively. Natalie Portman is playing Thor's love interest, Jane Foster.
In the movie, written by Mark Protosevich and Zack Stentz, the powerful but arrogant warrior Thor's reckless actions re-ignite an ancient war. As punishment, Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans. Once here, he learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends dark forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
Paramount Pictures will release the film on May 20, 2011.
Are you waiting for the hammer to fall on the big screen (Mjolnir, that is)?! Of course you are and so are we!
When Thor makes his big screen debut on May 20, 2011, he'll have some company with him—as reported today by Variety.com!
Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg, longtime friends and fellow Asgardians who usually work together as a team known as the Warriors Three, are Thor’s allies and companions.
Fandral will be played by Stuart Townsend. The job of Hogun goes to Tadanobu Asano. And Volstagg will be portrayed Ray Stevenson.
They join the previously announced Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster. Kenneth Branagh will direct.
"Thor" is one of a continuing slate of films being produced by Marvel Studios based on the Marvel characters, including "Iron Man 2" on May 7, 2010, "The First Avenger: Captain America" on July 22, 2011 and "The Avengers" on May 4, 2012.

Agent Coulson Will Appear in 'Thor'
Adding to the list of characters set to appear in multi-franchise Marvel titles, Iron Man’s Agent Coulson (played by Clark Gregg) is set to return not only in Iron Man 2, but also in the upcoming Thor. This continues the trend Marvel has established with the appearance of Nick Fury and Cap’s shield in Iron Man, and the inclusion of Tony Stark and the deleted scene of Captain America frozen in the ice in The Incredible Hulk.
Agent Coulson was the first introduction to the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement,
and Logistics Division, later christened as S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel universe of movies. In many ways, Gregg’s role was the jumping off point for the connecting thread between the various
Marvel movies coming out in the near future. S.H.I.E.L.D. is an effective theme that I think will tie the movies together in the most logical way possible, and I’m glad to hear that Agent Coulson will show up in Thor, as well as Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, further enforcing the role of S.H.I.E.L.D in the development of these movies. Expect Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark to make a cameo in some form or another, as well.
It’s an epic undertaking to tie all these movies together well enough to really make us believe these characters can exist in the same universe, and Marvel seems to be following a great plan to bring these characters together for The Avengers. I can’t wait to see Thor, this movie is going to blow everyone away… hopefully.
Iron Man 2 arrives on May 7 and Thor is planning for a May 6, 2011 release.
Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Thor stars Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Ray Stevenson, Tadanobu Asano, Josh Dallas, Jaimie Alexander, Idris Elba, Colm Feore, Kat Dennings, Stellan Skarsgard and Adriana Barraza…. Just to name a few.
Anybody else dying to hear some casting for The First Avenger: Captain America?
