Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorSir Anthony Hopkins is spreading his wings into the metaverse.The Oscar-winning actor and artist has teamed up with Orange Comet, a Web3 creative studio startup, to create and launch his first NFT series, dubbed the Eternal Collection.“NFTs are a blank canvas to create art in a new format,” Hopkins told reporters during an online press conference.According to Hopkins, 84, the metaverse “offers an incredible opportunity to connect with an audience in an entirely different way… I’m probably the oldest guy in the NFT community and on social media, which proves all is possible at any age.”The Eternal Collection digital collectibles are intended to “conceptualize” 10 different character archetypes Hopkins has portrayed over his film career, incorporating themes and styles from the actor’s body of artwork. The Hopkins NFTs will drop in mid-September on OpenSea, the industry-leading NFT marketplace, according to Dave Broome, CEO of Orange Comet.
