Anthony Hopkins, who plays Odin, the All-Father and ruler of Asgard in the MCU, revealed that his role as Odin was “pointless acting.” Hopkins revealed, “They put me in armor and shoved a beard on me. Sit on the throne and shout a bit. If you’re sitting in front of a green screen, it’s pointless acting.”

Speaking to The New Yorker, Hopkins said, “Success is the best drug.” This year, Angela Bassett became the first actor to be nominated for an Oscar for a Marvel role in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” “Well, it’s so modern,” she told me in February. “We try to stay current, and they’ve got a winning formula.” Entire generations now know Anthony Hopkins not as Hannibal Lecter but as Thor’s dad, King Odin of Asgard. “They put me in armor; they shoved a beard on me,” he told me. “Sit on the throne and shout a bit. If you’re sitting in front of a green screen, it’s pointless acting.”

How many movies did Anthony Hopkins appear in as Odin in the MCU?

Hopkins appeared in four MCU movies, including Thor (2011), Thor: The Dark World (2013), and Thor: Ragnarok (2017).

In Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Odin’s death is shown as a peaceful moment. We see him, weakened and nearing the end of his life, standing on a cliff in Norway. His sons, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) are there with him, and Odin imparts some wisdom before his spirit fades away, transitioning into the afterlife.

In Marvel Comics, Odin, the All-Father and ruler of Asgard, stands as a towering symbol of power and authority. With an indomitable presence and immense cosmic strength, Odin commands respect and strikes fear into the hearts of both mortal and divine beings alike. As the guardian of the Nine Realms, Odin possesses divine wisdom and insight, guiding the destinies of gods and mortals alike. With his enchanted spear Gungnir in hand, he becomes an unstoppable warrior, capable of battling cosmic threats that dare to challenge the balance of the universe.
