Rumoured details on Odin’s role in Thor: Ragnarok have been revealed.
The rumour states the following:
“According to sources close to the film’s production that Odin is alive, if not exactly well. Whatever coup Loki attempted ended with the All-Father exiled from Asgard and taking refuge on Midgard, in the persona of street corner doomsayer.”
If accurate, this would explain what happened to Odin after the last we saw of him in Thor: The Dark World was Loki using a glamour to replace him on the throne of Asgard.
Thor: Ragnarok is scheduled for release on November 3rd, 2017.
