'Dr. Who's Christopher Eccleston To Play Villain In 'Thor: The Dark World'
Over the last few months, plenty of interesting news has surfaced and evolved regarding Marvel's sequel to 2011's 'Thor.' First, Alan Taylor ('Game of Thrones') was handed the reins as director; something for which most of us geeks rejoiced. Then it was announced that Mads Mikkelsen ('Casino Royale') was going to play the villain, though we knew not who that would be. Then Mikkelsen departed just before it was more or less revealed that the dark elves of Svartalfheim would be the main antagonists of the film, now titled 'Thor: The Dark World.' Now, it looks like Marvel has found their Malekith the Accursed. Christopher Eccleston, who portrayed Dr. Who in the popular British series' 2005 season, is in final negotiations to take over villain duties. The deal is not finalized at this time.
As much as I think Mads Mikkelsen is a tremendous actor and capable of playing great villains, I would have had trouble imagining him playing a dark elf. Christopher Eccleston on the other hand, seems a nice fit for Malekith. I must admit that I know next to nothing about Dr. Who, feel free to throw things at me, but his Destro was one of the few things I liked about 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.' As a lover of cheesy cinema, I can't help but also point out his whacked, over-the-top villain from 'Gone in 60 Seconds.' I think he's got the right look, and the right bad guy sensibilities, my only concern would be that he would play it too silly. However, I trust Alan Taylor to get the right performance from Eccleston to strike the appropriate tone.
What do you guys think? Is Eccleston the right choice for Malekith? What other dark elf story or design elements do you hope to see in 'Thor: The Dark World?'

I laff when I think about the bullet some poor make up artist missed when they didn't cast Mads. No one would want to tell him to drop trou' just so they can spraypaint him black and throw a white wig on him (or however these dark elves will look). He'd give them the look that says he wants to strip them naked, sit them in a chair with a hole in it, and bash their balls with a rope.
I suppose Destro is a good second option.

Not to veer too much into Doctor Who territory, the Ninth Doctor was fresh off the heels of the Time War; he (to his recollection) had just killed all of the Daleks and the Time Lords, and he was the last one left. So, he probably had a great deal of Survivor's Guilt, as well as a bit of PTSD. So, I'm not too mad at his melancholic portrayal, because it fit what was needed. Tennant's Doctor, while still suffering through that same bit of guilt, really tried to bring on the cheeriness of previous incarnations, until he just couldn't do it anymore.
Matt Smith's Doctor finally broke free of that guilt, so what we're seeing is a more frenetic version of the Doctor, and it'll be interesting to see where it goes from there.

I actually hated this doctor, because he failed to bring the eccentricness of past doctors, but bought a more soap-style type of acting. I bet he's gonna be good, but if you want to bring an actor of doctor status who can play a villain too, why not cast David Tennant?

He got me with his acting in Gone in 60 Second and of course "Doctor Who".
