The gods are coming to Midgard aka Earth in "Thor: Ragnarok" and the world will finally know what happened to the All-Father. The Marvel Cinematic Universe flick will mark the return of the legendary Anthony Hopkins as Odin, but er, he's not exactly a majestic sight right now.
'Thor: Ragnarok' Presents Anthony Hopkins As Odin The One-Eyed Bum
Who could forget how awesome Anthony Hopkins was in the first two "Thor" films? His Odin dominated every single scene he was in, sidelining lead stars Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. He even schooled Natalie Portman for talking back to him in Thor: The Dark World.
However, fans will meet a completely different Odin in "Thor: Ragnarok" - sure, he's still be played by Anthony Hopkins. But the "Silence of the Lambs" actor is absolutely unrecognizable when he popped up on the film's Brisbane set (via Instagram).

Yup, that happy one-eyed bum is none other than Anthony Hopkins. However, his appearance in "Thor: Ragnarok" is not the only shocking thing about Odin. There is a surprising reason why Odin is a homeless (but clearly joyful) person in "Ragnarok": He can't remember that Loki exiled him on Earth during "Thor: The Dark World". But now Thor and Loki need him so the search has begun.
Thor And Loki Play A Game Called "Desperately Seeking Odin" In 'Thor: Ragnarok'
There are speculations that all those fun "Thor: Ragnarok" photos of Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston on the streets has a darker purpose. The two actors are actually shooting scenes of Thor and Loki desperately looking for Odin, who has completely forgotten that he is a god. But how exactly did that happen?
"Thor: Ragnarok" could reveal Loki tried to kill Odin in "The Dark World" but the All-Father managed to escape Asgard just in time. Unfortunately, he also lost his memory on his way to Earth and so, it will be up to Thor and Loki to remind him of who he truly is. "Thor: Ragnarok" is directed by Taika Waititi, stars Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins and is slated to hit theaters on November 3, 2017.
