Thor Movie Cast

Thor’s loyal companions—the Warriors Three and the Lady Sif—were cast to bring color and camaraderie to Asgard. Ray Stevenson (a hulking, boisterous Volstagg), Tadanobu Asano (the silent, deadly Hogun), and Josh Dallas (the handsome, swashbuckling Fandral) formed a delightful ensemble. Dallas was later replaced by Zachary Levi in Thor: The Dark World due to scheduling conflicts, with Levi bringing an even more manic energy to the role.

To ground the Asgardian drama, Marvel turned to the Royal Shakespeare Company. For the role of Odin, the “All-Father,” they cast the legendary Sir Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins, initially hesitant about “another superhero movie” after playing a villain in The Mask of Zorro , was won over by director Kenneth Branagh’s vision. He brought a weary, tragic gravitas to Odin, delivering the banishment speech with a broken heart beneath the golden eye-patch. thor movie cast
