Christopher Eccleston is playing Malekith

[American Maid]

Cool! I had no idea. Especially the Darcy/Volstagg line. I wonder why they didn't put it in the film.

A lot of times scenes that were deleted actually drag. So it turns out the film works better (moves more smoothly, keeps its focus, etc) without them.

I don't know whether this exchange got filmed (maybe somebody with a Blu Ray could say). It's part of a number of asides interspersed with Thor yelling for Heimdall to open the Bifrost. Here's another exchange from later in that scene (Full disclosure: I've posted it before; I like it):

FANDRAL Are all earth maidens as fair as you?
(Darcy enjoys the attention.)
DARCY No.

Maybe they felt like they had to hurry and get all the warriors back to Asgard to stop Loki before he did something else. In that case, they would want this scene to move faster.

I'm guessing these sorts of exchanges with Darcy are what they are referring to when they talk about an expanded role for her in T:TDW. I would enjoy that.

I thought that was just hemsworth' natural accent

That was kind of the point, he might not have a perfect British accent, but British wasn't the goal, he was going for Asgardian. Which would be inherently different than a British accent.

lol. Fandral is into hipster chicks? who woulda thunk?

I don't need Darcy's role to be expanded by any means. But if her expanded role is used to develop Fandral and Volstagg's characters like in those lines, or Hogun or Sif. I'm on board. They deserve a little more attention.

Praise the Gods the Elf in my avatar will not be an Elf under Malekith's beck and call. It would explain why he's so bats*** insane if he was.

Why would it drive him insane?

Its a picture of the Annoying Fan from TES 4 Oblivion. The name should tell you everything.

Yep it does.

 

[jaqua99]

lets get some concept art here soon!! I am dying to see MCU Malekith

 

[BigThor]

Screw him, I'm dying to see MCU Kurse and Thor's new costume.

I am most anxious to see Kurse's look.

 

[BigThor]

I am most anxious to see Kurse's look.

Same here, I hope he looks as awesome and faithful to the source material as The Destroyer did in THOR.

You like the way Kurse looks like in the comics? Little over the top don't you think?

 

[BigThor]

Yeah he is a bit over the top, but I still want to be able to look at him and say "yep that's Kurse alright".

I didn't mean he should look exactly like he does in the comics, but he definately should be recognizable.

 

[BigThor]

^ I want him to be recognizable as well, I wouldn't mind some changes but I still want him to look like himself.

 

[Godzilla2000]

By Azura, by Azura, by Azura, it's the Grand Champion! I can't believe it's you! Standing here, next to me!

Imagine hearing that 24/7 and I suppose you get the hint why the Adoring Fan would drive Malekith insane.

I know this is a pretty old comment... but you realize this is the Malekith thread right? It's kinda disrespectful to dismiss someone wanting to see concept art of a character in his own thread. That's like someone saying they can't wait to see Iron Man 3 concept art in the Iron Man 3 forum and then you saying "screw him, I'm dying to see Captain America 2 concept art."

play nice boys

 

[Bren]

Play nice indeed - screw concept art, I want the whole film right now!

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

[jaqua99]

why is it that all these types of clips are of only Tom? lol is he the only one who had fun on set?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Maybe Tom is the best at having fun with the cameras around. They are all great gifs.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Because he's a ham for the camera.

 

[BigThor]

Yeah it is, far too old to be responding to.

 

[Godzilla2000]

*sigh* I guess either they haven't started filming any of Malekith's scenes or they're trying to keep his and Kurse's MCU appearances a secret for as long as they can.

I'm just waiting for some sort of official, non-fan created image for a little photoshop image I have in mind right now.

 

[jaqua99]

hopefully. I really want to see how much of the comic appearances they can incorporate into the movie costumes

 

[Doc Ock]

I can't wait to see how Christopher Eccleston in costume will look next to Thor and co. So far Thor's and Loki's costumes really seem like the comics come to life, I hope that trend continues.
