Over ten years ago, highly-esteemed serious thespian Sir Anthony Hopkins decided to slum it by appearing in a Marvel movie (Thor), and he’s taken a couple more Marvel checks since then. But believe it or not, Sir Anthony doesn’t gaze upon his Marvel performances with eyes of pride. Sir Anthony tells The New Yorker that his appearances as Odin of Asgard in the Thor movies were “pointless acting” because they just put him in armor, shoved a beard on his face, sat him on a throne, and told him to shout. He went on to say, “If you’re sitting in front of a green screen, it’s pointless acting it.” Well, if Sir Anthony ever gets bored with collecting an easy check for putting on a beard and yelling at a cloud green screen, I’m sure there’s an Angry Santa who would love to take his place. Or Brian Cox! Brian already has a beard, and he loves yelling! – People
