Mel Gibson was originally offered the role of Odin in ‘Thor’

Just last week, Marvel Studios confirmed that Anthony Hopkins would be reprising the role of The Allfather Odin in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, but things could have been quite different for the series when the first film was being put together in 2010…

Speaking with The Guardian (via /Film), actor Mel Gibson was asked if he’d ever been offered a part in a superhero movie and revealed he almost appeared in the 2011 film.

“Yeah, long time ago, to play Thor’s dad. But I didn’t do it.”
