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.

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 to Play Villain in Red 2
24 May 2012 2:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Anthony Hopkins wants to join the cast of Summit Entertainment's Red 2! He would be taking on the role of the villain in the story named Edward Bailey. They are currently trying to figure out how to make it work with the scheduling so he can do it. The actor is already committed to reprising his role of Odin in Thor 2 which is shooting around the same time. Hopefully they can work something out, because it would be great to see Hopkins as a villain again.
Red 2 is set to be directed by Dean Parisot, and stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung Hun-Li. Hopkins is currently playing Alfred Hitchcock in a movie about the making of Psycho.
I watched the movie Heart's of Atlantis yesterday, and forgot how awesome Hopkins was in that wonderfully made film. If you haven't seen that movie »

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 »

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.

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 »
