Mikkelsen for 'Thor 2,' Oldman in 'Robocop,' Favreau in 'Iron Man 3' and Saldana for 'Machete Kills

Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) is in talks to star as the villain in Thor 2 with details on what character still unclear as Tom Hiddleston will still have a big part as the franchise antagonist, Loki. Production on the pic is set to get underway this summer with Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") directing for a November 15, 2013 release. [source] Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) is set to join the cast of Jose Padilha's RoboCop remake as Norton, the scientist who turns Officer Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) into Robocop and finds himself torn between the ideals of the machine trying to rediscover its humanity and the callous needs of a corporation. The film is expected to begin filming in September in Toronto for an August 9, 2013 release. [source] It would appear Red 2 is attempting to become the even older version of The Expendables 2 as Anthony Hopkins is now in talks »

Casting notes: Gary Oldman in RoboCop, Anthony Hopkins in Red 2, Mads Mikkelsen in Thor 2, Ashley Hamilton in Iron Man 3
25 May 2012 7:38 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Any mention of the MGM/Sony planned remake of RoboCop is usually greeted with groans and calls to leave the sci-fi classic well alone. Until now.
Adding gravitas and credibility to director Jose Padilha's project is Gary Oldman.
Immediately winning fanboy approval, the star is said by The Hollywood Reporter to have joined the production as newly-created character Norton, the scientist who creates RoboCop by bringing police officer Alex Murphy back from the brink of death with the addition of technological components.
Norton will "find himself torn between the ideals of the machine trying to rediscover its humanity and the callous needs of a corporation."
The film starts shooting in September ahead of release on August 9, 2013.
Adding more starpower on screen, Anthony Hopkins is in negotiations to play the villain in Red 2, as long as it doesn't clash with his return to the role of Odin in Thor 2. »

Casting Net: 'Thor 2,' 'Iron Man 3' land new villains. Plus: Anthony Hopkins, Bradley Cooper, Owen Wilson, Olivia Wilde

• Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) is in talks to torment the citizens of Asgard in Thor 2, as an unspecified villain who joins Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) will direct the film. [THR]
• Speaking of Thor 2, that sequel may stand in the way of Anthony Hopkins joining another sequel, Red 2. Hopkins would play a baddie in the latter film — which will star Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, and Catherine Zeta-Jones — but his involvement hinges on his ability to schedule around playing Odin in Thor 2. [Deadline]
• Elsewhere in the Marvel-verse, two actors have signed onto Iron Man 3, which just started filming this week. One is quite familiar: Jon Favreau will return to play Tony Stark bodyguard Happy Hogan, notable since Favreau passed the directing reins for the franchise to Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). »

Sequel Updates for Red 2, Thor 2, Iron Man 3, Hunger Games 2, Sin City 2, and Machete 2
24 May 2012 5:13 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Apparently the Gods responsible for handing out news to upcoming sequels (specifically of the comic book sequel variety) decided today was a pretty good day to start dishing the goods. And so, instead of creating a half dozen new posts for each little tidbit, here they all are in one sitting. Red 2 Up first, “Red 2″ may have gotten itself a new villain, and his name might just be Anthony Hopkins. The former Hannibal The Cannibal, currently playing Alfred Hitchcock, is currently in negotiations to join the geriatric cast of Summit Entertainment’s “Red 2″, playing the film’s chief villain. The role sounds familiar, too: Hopkins would play “a genius scientist who was locked up in an insane asylum.” His name isn’t Hannibal, too, is it? Hopkins would join returning castmembers Bruce Willis, Mary Louise Parker, John Malkovich, and Helen Mirren, with whom Hopkins is currently starring in “Hitchcock” with. »

Zoe Saldana Joins Machete Kills; Anthony Hopkins Eyes Red 2; Mads Mikkelsen Becomes Thor 2 Villain
24 May 2012 5:03 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
A lot of casting news has hit today. First up, we start with the revelation that Zoe Saldana has come aboard Machete Kills for director Robert Rodriguez. No information has been revealed about her character, but it is known that she will be making out with star Danny Trejo at some point in the film. Consider her one of Machete's girls.
Mads Mikkelsen is joining the Marvel sequel Thor 2 as a villain. His role is still unspecified. And Ashley Hamilton could be taking a small villain role in Iron Man 3 as Firepower, one of the comic's lesser known characters.
In other sequel news, Anthony Hopkins is thinking about becoming one of the retired CIA operatives forced back into active duty alongside returning Red 2 cast members Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, and John Malkovich. Oher new cast additions include Catherine Zeta-Jones (she dips beneath the lasers!) and Byung-hun Lee. »

Anthony Hopkins Up For Red 2
24 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
With pre-production on retired-agents-proving-they-can-still-kick-ass sequel Red 2 now in full swing, director Dean Parisot and the producers have been setting their sights on actors of a certain age who might be up for a little gunplay with Bruce Willis and co. They appear to have found one very willing recruit in Anthony Hopkins. The actor, who is currently in Prestige Acting Mode for Sacha Gervasi’s making-of-Psycho drama Hitchcock, is apparently happy to kick back and play a scheming baddie named Edward Bailey in the knockabout action comedy follow-up.But there’s a slight hitch in the form of Hopkins’ busy work diary. It's possible the Red shoot could clash with a prior commitment: namely, donning the eye patch and gold armour of Odin for Thor 2.If the dates can be figured out, though, Hopkins would join a cast that includes Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker and »
Anthony Hopkins May Play the Villain in Red 2
24 May 2012 11:55 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Earlier this month a major casting announcement for Red 2 was made. We learned that Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren and Mary-Louise Parker will all be returning for the follow-up to the 2010 hit, joined by newcomers Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung-Hun Lee. Now it appears that director Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) has found his villain. Heat Vision reports that Anthony Hopkins is in negotiations to join the cast as the film’s baddie, but he has a few scheduling issues to work out first. He’s set to return as Odin in Thor 2, which is also shooting later this year, but the actor is apparently keen on taking the Red 2 role as well. Hit the jump for more. In the sequel, Heat Vision reports that Hopkins would play a “genius scientist who was locked up in an insane asylum.” When the initial casting announcement was made I speculated »

Anthony Hopkins Going ‘Red,’ If ‘Thor’ Doesn’t Interfere
24 May 2012 11:21 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
The fun of contractual conflicts may be in Anthony Hopkins‘ future, since Deadline reports that the actor’s plans to take an antagonistic lead in Red 2 are, barring some intervention, close to interfering with the appearance in another comic book sequel, Thor 2. Although it’s said that he actively wants to play “Edward Bailey” for director Dean Parisot, the pending shoot with Alan Taylor — a shoot that could very well require a lot of Hopkins‘ time — can’t be ignored. And, to think, some people have to mine coal for a living.
The film, written by Erich and Jon Hoeber, sees the elderly agents take their talents to Europe and try to stop somebody planning something nefarious for whatever reason. It’s all standard stuff that we could’ve guessed with our eyes closed and ears shut, but I bet Hopkins could take the role — which THR describes »

With Catherine Zeta-Jones, ‘Red 2′ Now Has 3 Oscar Winners Involved
11 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Catherine Zeta-Jones took a hiatus from acting late last decade, but she’s been back in the game with The Rebound and Sundance Weinstein pick-up Lay the Favorite. Now, she’s continuing that working streak with Red 2. At 42, it might be a little early for her to retire. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Oscar-winner has signed on alongside Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker and Dame Helen Mirren who will be reprising their roles. The screenwriters, Erich and Jon Hoeber, are also back, but director Robert Schwentke is not. He’s currently working on R.I.P.D., which may or may not be the reason, but Dean Parisot will be taking his spot. Parisot is also an Oscar winner, having won for Best Live-Action Short Film back in 1989 and going on to direct Galaxy Quest and Fun With Dick and Jane. It’s an interesting background he brings, but the comedy angle is easy to see. So »
