New Clip From THOR: THE DARK WORLD Is All About Malekith

Check out the latest clip from the upcoming Thor: The Dark World movie, which opens next month! As you already see from our title, this short (and pretty dark) video centers on Malekith, the ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim, played by Christopher Eccleston. The Aether awakens up – the convergence returns, head inside to check him out… Directed by Alan Taylor, the upcoming sequel to Thor continues the big-screen adventures of the titular god of Thunder as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. Or, if you prefer the official plot:

In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all…

Beside Eccleston, the rest of the cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, Jaimie Alexander, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins. Thor: The Dark World opens on November 8th, 2013.
