Yes, it’s true.
The first Doctor, if you started with the reboot like me, or the ninth Doctor, if you’re an old-timer, Christopher Eccleston, will be playing Malekith the Accursed in the upcoming movie.
Can’t say I remember Malekith, but I was never a huge fan of the Thor comic books. I was more of a Daredevil guy myself.
Here are a few photos of Chris, the Doctor, as Malekith. Unrecognizable.
Should be interesting.
People who started with the ninth Doctor are considered old-timers??
I guess it’s time for my Metamucil and Lorna Doone break, then I’m off to bed.
I’m a big fan of Eccleston. Still my favorite doctor. And I’ve liked him in everything he has done. Even the bad movies. I don’t remember that villian. Maybe it was after I grew up and stopped reading comics.
Is that what I said? It’s not what I meant.
If he’s YOUR ninth Doctor, than you’re an old timer.
If he’s YOUR first Doctor, than you’re but a young pup.
Malekith was a wonderful villain for Thor back in the 80s with Simonsen as writer. Thor will do well as long as they continue to borrow heavily from Simonsen. My beef with the picture is that Malekith, while black and white, is supposed to be beautiful.
When in the 80s? I stopped reading in 85. But Thor was never one of my favorites except in The Avengers.
What is Eclipso doing in a Marvel movie?
I meant to link to this originally - the Wikipedia page for Malekith lists the dates and such.
Thats why I don’t remember him. He first appeared right around when I stopped buying comics.
