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.

The 44-year-old actor has been starring as Heimdall since the first "Thor" movie back in 2011 and would like to see McConaughey portray a young version the All-Father of all the Nordic Gods.

Speaking to MTV News, Elba says, "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 Anthony Hopkins who last reprised his role in "Thor: The Dark World" in 2013.
 

Elba is set to reprise his role of the all-seeing and all-hearing guardian sentry of Asgard, who stands on the rainbow bridge, in the third standalone movie, "Thor: Ragnarok".
