“#Kenneth Branagh Stopped Anthony Hopkins From Retiring While Making Thor<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Hopkins has had a long acting career, but as a true-blue movie star,\u00a0he was something of a late bloomer. He won his first Oscar at the age of 54\u00a0for playing the iconic role of Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs.”\u00a0When Thor was first released in May 2011, he was already 73, but since then, he’s had other high-profile roles such as\u00a0Pope Benedict in “The Two Popes” (for which he also received an Oscar nomination) and\u00a0Robert Ford, the co-founder\u00a0of the eponymous theme<\/a> park in HBO’s “Westworld.”<\/p>\n

Branagh had a background in Shakespearean film adaptions like “Henry V” and “Hamlet”\u00a0before he came to the MCU. For him, it sounds like there was no better choice to play Odin than an actor with Hopkins’ supreme gravitas. In the book, he’s quoted as saying:<\/p>\n

“Anthony brought a world of depth, intelligence, and feeling to Odin that set up the possibility of a really affecting family drama. He can command, but he can also be very personable. His human qualities kept the dynamic powerful, but not overwrought. He could convey a kingly responsibility and still make you feel that he loved both his errant sons.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of all the Phase One MCU films, “Thor” is arguably the most “out there” in that it involves gods from Norse mythology. The movie tried to keep itself grounded, applying the Arthur C. Clarke rule, “Any sufficiently advanced technology<\/a> is indistinguishable from magic.” However, the performances of seasoned thespians like Hopkins are also a big part of what kept it anchored to some semblance of reality even as it costumed people in gold space armor.<\/p>\n
