Matthew McConaughey could be our next Marvel superhero

Idris Elba says would like to see him play young version of 'All-Father of all the Nordic Gods'

 Hollywood actor Idris Elba says he wants to see his Dark Tower co-star Matthew McConaughey to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a young Odin.

Elba, 44, has been starring as Heimdall since the first Thor movie in 2011 and would like to see his Dark Tower co-star portray a young version of the All-Father of all the Nordic Gods.

Speaking to MTV News, Elba said, "In Marvel world? There's a couple of versions. He could be Thor's dad. Play a young version of him. Smash it."



Odin, who is the father of Thor, is currently played by veteran actor Anthony Hopkins, who last reprised his role in Thor: The Dark World in 2013.

Elba is set to reprise his role as the guardian sentry of Asgard, who stands on the rainbow bridge, in the third standalone movie, Thor: Ragnarok.
