“Thor: The Dark World” Finds Its Villain In Christopher Eccleston
Despite rumours that the villains of Thor: The Dark World would be Amora the Enchantress and Skurge the Executioner, it seems that we’ve got someone a little different, as it has been reported that Christopher Eccleston has been cast as Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim, presumably the Dark World of the title. Mads Mikkelsen had been previously linked with the role, but was forced to back out due to scheduling clashes.
Eccelston, famous in geek circles for his roles in Doctor Who and Heroes, is evidently no stranger to comic book characters.
