Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje Joins The Cast Of ‘Thor: The Dark World’

Another new cast addition has joined the upcoming sequel, Thor: The Dark World, which is currently filming overseas in London. Variety reports that British actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra) has joined the anticipated sequel and will be joining Christopher Eccleston, who will play Malekith The Accursed, as one of the lead villains of the film. Akinnuoye-Agbaje will be playing the villain Kurse.

“Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has joined the cast of Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” as one of the lead villains, playing the dual roles of Kurse and Algrim.”

The character Kurse was originally Algrim the Strong, one of the Dark Elves of the extra dimensional realm of Svartalfheim who served the Dark Elves’ ruler, Malekith the Accursed. While this was originally my least anticipated of Marvel Studios “Phase Two” movies, the recent cast additions have definitely been making me a bit more excited for it.

Thor: The Dark World smashes into theaters November 8, 2013.
