Villain for ‘Thor’ sequel announced

At long last, fans know what’s in store for the god of thunder in the upcoming movie “Thor: The Dark World.”

“Doctor Who” actor Christopher Eccleston has been selected for the role of Malekith the Accursed in the upcoming sequel, MTV reports.

Actor Mads Mikkelsen had reportedly been in discussions to join the cast, but bowed out at the last minute.

In the comics, this ominous villain is the leader of a deadly interstellar species. Eccleston will be sure to bring his usual sinister energy to the sought after role.

“The Dark World” hits theaters in November 2013.
