THOR: RAGNAROK Director Shares A New Look At Anthony Hopkins' "Hobo" Odin

Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi has taken to social media to share a new look at Anthony Hopkins as the exiled Odin who the God of Thunder and Loki will be attempting to track down in the movie.

Thor: Ragnarok is going to take us to a lot of unexpected places but perhaps the most intriguing is Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum. It's there that the God of Thunder will be looking for help in tracking down his father after he was banished to Earth by Loki (rather than killed as many of us suspected). Since then, the God of Mischief has been sitting on the throne in control of Asgard.

Set photos confirmed that the Odin Thor and Loki find isn't the same one we're used to seeing and now director Taika Waititi has shared a fresh look at the ancient Asgardian looking like, well, a Hobo!

That's because he's been living rough and trying to warn those of us on Midgard about Ragnarok. Many fans believe that the threequel will see Odin killed off so Thor can become King of Asgard but that's just speculation for now. What do you guys think of this new behind the scene photo? Sound off below!

By Odin's Beard, it's Mr NZ and Mr Aus sharing an Anzac kiss through a sweaty Anthony Hopkins filter. You guys think I just [frick] around all day hanging out with celebrities, but really I'm creating cultural ties and spiritual understanding between the different peoples of the world... through dumb photos. @chrishemsworth #Ragnarok #OdinSweat #HoppoSandwich #Anzacs #AtlantaHEAT #HannibalFilter

OK, am I the only one kinda creeped out by Hopkins' face in that pic?

deepee3 - 7/29/2017, 2:00 AM

@MUTO123 - I'm more concerned about the onion rings he is sporting under that jacket. Odin forgot his Degree roll-on.

Marvel: Homoeroticism Guaranteed.

MarDCel - 7/29/2017, 2:17 AM

@Spock0Clock - I'm just looking at Jessica Henwick at the back. Just beautiful.

Kumkani - 7/29/2017, 2:41 AM

@MarDCel - If only Elodie Yung grabbed Jessica Henwick's boob...

BlackPhillip - 7/29/2017, 4:11 AM

@MarDCel - Sucks she just died on GoT.

MarDCel - 7/29/2017, 4:53 AM

@Ramiel - Aw. Not a problem for me, I don't watch GoT. Also, umm..... was she ever naked in that show. For some reason, I hope not. I like her clean.

Spock0Clock - 7/29/2017, 5:04 AM

@MarDCel - "I like her clean."

Please, for the love of all humanity, never say these words in this order ever again.

I was against this hobo Odin from Day one, i dunno...surprise me Taika!
I know it will provide some funny moments but...c'mon man...

NinnesMBC - 7/29/2017, 2:35 AM

"Hobo Odin" is...unexpected. Could work and it also could not.

jj2112 - 7/29/2017, 4:01 AM

That happened in the comics. He wasn't exactly a hobo but was living on Earth posing as a farmer, if I remember correctly.

incredibleTalk - 7/29/2017, 4:25 AM

"By Odin's Odor"

HannibalLecter - 7/29/2017, 4:43 AM

I'm just hoping that's an actual still from the movie.

KnifeWasTooSlow - 7/30/2017, 1:42 PM

@HannibalLecter - It better be, if not, I'm calling the police.

baldowl - 7/29/2017, 4:56 AM

I used to work with a hobo. Sometimes I'd have to unload containers with him in sweltering heat, after he'd not have bathed for a week or more.
This picture inspired an olfactory flashback. I think I'm gonna be sick.

BloodyBed - 7/29/2017, 10:00 AM

@baldowl - imagine living in old europe where no one bathed for weeks, and wore the same clothes all the time.

Lots of history books like to point out just how stinky they were.

incredibleTalk - 7/29/2017, 5:18 AM

...they should call it "Coming to America 2"...Odin goes to Queens to find a new wife!

Origame - 7/29/2017, 5:57 AM

@incredibleTalk - It's Aunt May. Tony gets heartbroken.

AgeofApocalypse - 7/29/2017, 7:16 AM

@incredibleTalk - Suddenly I can't stop picturing RDJ with a Jheri curl! "Just let your soul glo!"

dnno1 - 7/29/2017, 5:41 AM

Did they drool on him?

DavidGray - 7/29/2017, 6:19 AM

Man, if in your acting career you get to take a selfie kissing Anthony [frick]ing Hopkings, that's pretty much it. You made it.

Look! It's Mr. Wednesday!
