The Avenger from Asgard (Chris Hemsworth) fights two powerful enemies in Thor: The Dark World.

 

Christopher Eccleston (The Ninth Doctor Who) plays Malekith and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko of Lost) plays two key roles in a twist that will play out in the sequel.

 

“The most time I spent was with Christopher Eccleston,” he tells  Marvel.com. “We are very much bonded in our vision of the world and our purpose in the movie, so we spent a lot of time together. But it’s great…I’ve got scenes with Tom Hiddleston (Loki) [and] Chris [Hemsworth] (Thor).”  Marvel.com.

Relationships between Malekith and Algrim and Malekith and Kurse are very different.

 

Akinnuoye-Agbaje how the characters radically change over the course of the story.

 

“There’s a furiously loyal bond between [Malekith and Algrim] because they’ve been on the frontline together,” he said. “[Algrim] is somebody who would lay his life on the line for a cause, and he feels that Malekith heads that cause. So they’re tight.”

 

“[With] Kurse…the rage becomes something else, but what I’ve tried to do instead of just making him this ogre, this powerful brute, is keep the Algrim within him.”

 

Thor: The Dark World opens November 8th.
