Wow, this is either going to be a fantastic movie with an all-star cast or Branagh is about to sink the careers of some heavy hitters (No pressure).
The latest cast member to join Marvel’s trip to Asgard is Sir Anthony Hopkins who will play Odin, the ruler of Asgard and The Mighty THOR’s Father. Chris Hemsworth will be playing the God of Thunder himself and Natalie Portman will play Jane Foster, his human love interest.
The movie’s story sees the god of thunder Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose 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.
