Anthony Hopkins has been asked to take on a new villain role, but he’s unsure if it will work out due to prior commitments.
Summit Entertainment has asked Hopkins to portray the villain, Edward Bailey, in Red 2. However, because Hopkins is already set to reprise his role as Thor’s father Odin in Thor 2, Summit and Hopkins are unsure whether or not timing will work out. As always, we’ll keep you posted when his casting has been solidified either way.
Red 2 will reprise Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, and John Malkovich, and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung Hun-Li have signed on as well.
Red 2 will be released in August 2013, and Thor 2 is set to hit theaters in November 2013.
Would you like to see Anthony Hopkins in Red 2? If he’s unable to join Red 2, who would you like to see play the villain?
