EXCLUSIVE: Summit Entertainment wants Anthony Hopkins to join the cast of Red 2. And Hopkins wants to do it. The sticking point is whether or not he can make the dates work with Thor 2, as he’s already committed to reprising his role as Thor’s father Odin. Red 2 will be directed by Dean Parisot, with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, and John Malkovich expected to reprise, and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung Hun-Li joining the cast. Hopkins would play Edward Bailey, a villain. He’s currently playing Alfred Hitchcock in Fox Searchlight‘s making-of-Psycho pic.


I actually didn’t think that Red is a bad movie. I think that Hopkins would be good in Red 2 (as he was in Thor). It’d be a shame, though, if he couldn’t be in both Red 2 and Thor 2.
Who said it was bad? It got great reviews and did well at the box office. Great, fun movie.
I know a lot of people that didn’t like it. And, when I watched the trailers, I wasn’t enthused.
Red is one of those ones that I was surprised by how I enjoyed it at the time…………but then have never had the urge to watch again. Not sure I’m bothered about a sequel.
