Variety.com is reporting the Sir Anthony Hopkins has officially been cast in Kenneth Brannagh’s Thor, due out in March 2011!  This adds to the already existing cast of  Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston and Natalie Portman playing Thor, Loki, and Jane Foster respectively.

The pic was scripted by Mark Protosevich and Zack Stentz & Ashley Miller. The Mighty Thor is a powerful but arrogant warrior of Asgard, but after his reckless actions reignite an ancient war, his father banishes him to Earth to live among humans. He learns the meaning of heroism when he stands tall as his arch enemy from home sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

I think this is damn good casting and it can only help to promote this film about what is arguably a lesser-known hero in the Marvel Universe. I’m sure we will be hearing more casting news as the starting production date in January draws closer.
