That is admittedly a weird idea — especially when we consider the fact that Anthony Hopkins and Matthew McConaughey don’t look or especially sound like one another — but Idris Elba told MTV that young Odin is what he’d like to see.
In the grand scheme of the MCU, someone with McConaughey’s distinct sensibilities as an actor could even create a strong parallel between young Odin’s hubris and the cocky nature of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, at least in the hero’s first Marvel outing.
There’s no question that Matthew McConaughey has proven himself as an actor (particularly in recent years), so it is not outside the realm of possibility to assume that he could potentially pull off a younger and brasher version of Odin.
