"It’s for Thor," Hopkins said when asked about his beard. "It has a great director in Kenneth Branagh. So, I’m lucky. In the past year I’ve worked with filmmakers Joe Johnston, Woody Allen and Ken Branagh."

"I knew nothing of it, he said when asked about his knowledge of the characters, "It’s a surprise to be in these sort of movies."

"It’s a superhero movie, but with a bit of Shakespeare thrown in," revealed Hopkins, who plays Odin in the movie. "It’s a big, big broad thing. This is a bit of a Shakespeare movie as well, on a big scope." However, when asked whether the film will feature and Shakespearean "Thou" and "Thee"'s, he said, "No, not in this. It’s all modern language."

As for working with actors like Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston he said, "Oh, I love working with young actors. I don’t have to do much work. I let them do all the work. I let them act, and then I just stand back."
