The Engine doesn't look bent to me, remember that the inboard and outboard engines are not parallel to each other in the first place. Take a look at photos of the A380 and the outboards appear to be angled up a bit anyway?

I hardly think an Engine mount designed to handle the thrust and weight of that Engine would be bent. The cowling would crush first anyway, slowing the impact and the Aircraft would have stopped quickly.

Engine change is all would be my bet.
