Most movies are shot on a combination of soundstages and live locations, this is a no-brainer. However, it's not too often that you hear about movies going underground. But that is exactly where 'Thor: The Dark World' appears to be headed: underground. No, I don't mean it's aiming for a niche cult following or that it's working outside the studio system. What I mean is that, according to reports, several scenes of the upcoming Marvel sequel will be filmed in the long tunnels underneath London. Though it is unclear at this time where these scenes will be set, as far as locations in the Thor universe, it appears that the studio is thoroughly holding true to the film's title. 'Thor: The Dark World' is set for a November 8, 2013 release.
Underground, eh? That's interesting. You know what lives underground? Well, a lot of things actually, but more specifically...elves! There have been rumors for a while now that the dark elves of Svartalfheim, the elves that prefer subterranean accommodations, would be the principle baddies of 'Thor: The Dark World,' which would further explain the title. That rumor turned to audible buzz last week when a stuntman on the film made reference to a direction given to them by Alan Taylor to, well, be elves. At this point, I'm not sure why Marvel doesn't just come out and admit that the dark elves will be the antagonists of the movie. My guess is that this means we'll see Malekith the Accursed as well. I'm interested to see what they do with these underground sets apart from just filming in the dark. There is the potential there for some truly ominous, atmosphere-building aesthetics.
What do you guys think? Should Marvel give up the ghost and reveal its villains already? Anyone want to make a case that it won't be dark elves?

Comment by kevin Mccoy on July 27, 2012 at 4:30pm I feel like this is why I have problems with Thor movies....I don't know any of the damn villains! I'm not gonna let that stop me from seein' it or enjoyin' it when this comes out but still Malekith the Accursed...Like seriously!?!?!
Comment by Jon Riddle on July 27, 2012 at 9:20am If you're looking for dissenters - well, trolls live underground. So do dwarves.
Comment by BadAss Knives on July 27, 2012 at 5:01am Give it up Marvel!!!
Comment by Miracleman on July 26, 2012 at 8:45pm Oh man, I really hope they do Malekith. He's one of my favorite Thor villains, and he could actually kind of work in the universe they've made. I just hope it ties in to The Avengers 2, like maybe Malekith steals the Infinity Gauntlet from the Asgardian trophy room.

Comment by Composite Who Horrible on July 26, 2012 at 2:51pm Elves? Specifically angry, hating everything elves? In tunnels? Under a major city?... Isn't that the villian plot to Hellboy 2????....
Comment by Ferry2dead on July 26, 2012 at 2:10pm No! Too much information can ruin a movie. Remember the Dark Knight Rise and how much we knew about that movie before it came out and it turned out to be a piece of SHIT. So just wait until they are ready.
Comment by Lt. Commander Armstrong on July 26, 2012 at 1:13pm Shit I didn't realize this was coming out next year. I love that we are getting two Marvel movies a year for the next three years! As far as the villains go, I just hope they can actually give Thor a challenge. Maybe having a dark atmosphere and being surrounded by elves can give this a tenseness the last Thor lacked.
Comment by Joseph E T Hughes on July 26, 2012 at 1:10pm Well, that's cool. I guess. Dark elves seem like a good enough story to tell.
Comment by The Dork Knight on July 26, 2012 at 12:56pm Damn...I was more thinking about the release date...November 8th...never seen a Marvel movie come out that late in the year..probably cause of Iron Man 3.
