Brian Blessed cast as Odin

Awesome, but I think he might be a better Volstagg. [Link]

Bleeding Cool has reported that Brian Blessed has been cast as Odin in the upcoming Thor film.

This speculation is certainly supported by the fact that Blessed has worked on many of director Kenneth Branagh’s films, including playing the titular King Lear.

Rich Johnston even linked to some clips, just to give us a taste of what is to come.
