When last we saw Odin ( Anthony Hopkins ) beforeThor : Ragnarok , we were n’t really take care at the real Odin . InThor : The Dark World , Loki ( Tom Hiddleston ) had faked his expiry and then fulfilled his lifelong ambition to rule Asgard by magically rifle the All - Father of his baron and banishing him . Loki used his illusion - cast business leader to pose as Odin . With Queen Frigga ( Rene Russo ) dead after the result ofThe Dark Worldand Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) away from Asgard , there was no one from Odin ’s family who could penetrate Loki ’s disguise . The God of Mischief was happily settle on the throne . That is , until Thor returned at the start ofRagnarokand bankrupt Loki ’s practiced time .
The two sons of Odin immediately went look for their drop All - Father , and we found out Odin ’s whereabouts for the last three years . Loki had sent Odin to a rest home in New York City , but it was since demolished , formally make Odin a missing person . Thanks to an coming into court by Doctor Stephen Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch ) , who sends the brothers to Norway , Thor and Loki were all - too - briefly reunite with the give out Odin on a drop-off drop the ocean .

Odin usually has a revelation up his sleeve for his sons , and his final one was that Hela ( Cate Blanchett ) , the Goddess of Death , is his firstborn girl , whom he imprisoned . Odin ’s foresightful life and his life force were all that was stopping Hela from return , but now that his meter is at an goal , he could no longer take hold Hela at bay . Due to his exile by Loki , Odin ’s power had been tardily draining , so after telling Thor that he loved him , Odin died in a way fit a god : his disintegrate into pure energy ( the Odinforce ) and entered Valhalla . sure as shooting enough , seconds later Hela breached the dimensional logic gate and set down in Norway , meeting her vernal brother Thor for the first time and launching the main thrust of the celluloid .
TheThorfilms have always been at pains to find ways to remove Odin from the activity . The firstThorsaw Odin locate in the Odinsleep for most of the film , later to awaken and announce Thor a worthy successor after ab initio banishing him to Earth without his great power as punishment for his hubris . Loki himself got disembarrass of Odin inThor : The Dark Worldand accept his place . Thor : Ragnarokat long last did away with the All - Father wholly . Quite how Odin fail is n’t made clear , but it ’s implied to be the repercussions of Loki ’s proscription . That say , Odin foregather his deathly ending volitionally and , as we ’ll see , to call it " destruction " may be a bit off base .
Having Thor ’s supremely powerful father around in the film was always a narrative offspring - the filmmaker would have to concoct a rationality why Odin does n’t intervene in his Word ’s affairs and save him . Director Taika Waititi ’s solution was to end the entire Norse Cycle of immortal and Asgard in the MCU withRagnarok .
However , Odin ’s last does n’t mean we ’ve seen the last of the All - Father by any mean . have an actor the caliber of Sir Anthony Hopkins is n’t something Marvel will promptly snub , even if they apply the Oscar winner in such a circumscribed fashion . InRagnarok , Odin still appeared to Thor from Valhalla , giving him encouragement and reminding him that he ’s more than just his magic hammer - he ’s the God of Thunder because his mogul comes from within himself . In the futurity , Odin will be used even more meagrely , taking on an Obi - Wan Kenobi as a Force Ghost use , dish out the occasional cryptic example to Thor . The God of Thunder will live a long life and will probably always receive some fatherly wiseness . Luckily , even though he ’s ' dead ' , Odin will always be around when Thor needs him most .
