  Adewale Akinnouoye-Agbaje is joining the Thor sequel according to Variety. The actor will play two villain roles in Thor: The Dark World: Algrim the Strong and Kurse.

  Algrim is one of the most powerful Dark Elves ordered by King Malekith (who will be played by Doctor Who veteran Christopher Eccleston) to kill Thor. Through a series of twists and turns Algrim becomes Kurse. Magic, magma and Algrim’s intense hatred of the Odinson transform the Elf.

  You may have seen the actor in The Bourne Identity and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra but LOST devotees like myself loved him as Mr. Eko.

Kat Dennings (Two Broke Girls) will reprise her role as the science intern Darcy and will have an expanded role according to Deadline.
