“But I really wanna do some other stuff for a while [before returning to the Odin character],” is one hell of an ambitious thing for an 85 year-old man to say.
Odin should’ve been played by Brian Blessed. No shade on Sir Anthony Hopkins as an actor, but he doesn’t look like a retired Viking warrior and Brian Blessed most certainly does.
Marvel movies are generally kind of pointless in general. People just want to watch good guys and bad guys have it out, with lots of bright lights and loud noises, eat some popcorn, and have something fairly innocuous to talk about at the water cooler on Monday.
His quote is taken out of context. He meant that acting against a green screen is pointless because you can’t act against things that aren’t actually there.
Another article where they’ve taken a quote, chopped a few words off of each end of it and presented it as something completely different to what he actually said.

>”They put me in armour; they shoved a beard on me,” he told the magazine.
“Sit on the throne, shout a bit.”
But he also says this:
>”I love the fact that I’ve been able to do something fairly different throughout the process. Thor 1 and 2 were their own thing, Thor 3 and 4 were a very different feel,” he said.
He told the magazine he was open to returning to Thor, “seeing what they have to offer creatively, if there is something new” for the character.

He’s not wrong. Seeing what folk are doing with AI and green screen makes me wonder precisely what the future holds for Hollywood.

Isn’t the entire Marvell universe pointlessly acted?

Do you not feel any shame at misquoting your own article so deliberately to create a fake soundbite for clicks and comments?
