We get a first look at Anthony Hopkins as Odin from a Thor: Ragnarok set image.
Director Taika Waititi posted the image to Instagram featuring himself and Chris Hemsworth kissing Anthony Hopkins on the cheek.
We also see that Anthony Hopkins’ Odin has a long beard and older clothing as reportedly Odin loses his memory and ends up on Earth as a hobo, while Loki is king of Asgard and loses to Hela.
The Doctor Strange post-credit scene alluded to Odin on Earth, and it’s also thought Benedict Cumberbatch and Doctor Strange will appear in Thor: Ragnarok.
Thor: Raganarok has a November 3, 2017 release directed by Taika Waititi starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk/Banner, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster, Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Sam Neill in an unknown role.
Synopsis:
Thor’s world is about to explode in Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok. His devious brother, Loki, has taken over Asgard, the powerful Hela has emerged to steal the throne for herself and Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe.
