Well, they were vague about it. I'm guessing they originally thought it was a good enough story to do a whole movie about. Spending a couple minutes on it instead seems like a good compromise between that and sticking to the "dark magic" line from Avengers.
Maybe Odin angered some gods or demons channeling said magic, so. . .he's forced to send Thor off to the "Dark World" to deal with it.

Since Mads Mikkelsen passed on the main villain role, it's now going to Christopher Eccleston. Also confirmed to be Malekith the Accursed, ruler of the Dark Elves.

Kurse will probably be in this as well.

He's a great actor. While I hated ROC, I thought he was perfect to play Destro.

He sure is a downgrade from Mads Mikkelsen though. Oh well. Anyone know why he drop out? Scheduling?
Destro was always a bit weird, because in the cartoon he sounded like a black dude, but he was supposed to be white. . .and Scottish. Honestly, I can't imagine any actor who really would fit my impressions of what Destro is supposed to be, unless it is a voice actor, being the guy that did the voice in the old cartoon

Yep. Destro will always being a hulking white guy with a silver mask and black dude's voice.
Never thought I'd hear you say anything positive about ROC!I agree though. For the businessman, arms dealer Destro, he was great. He wasn't the body builder, white scottish guy with the voice of Darth Vader of the cartoon. Completely different takes on the character, but I think the more businessman approach worked better for the film world. Really not sure who could play him as the comic/toy/cartoon Destro though
I'll be honest. I know zilch about Thor beyond Loki and what little they've expanded on in the Avengers: Earth's Mightest Heroes cartoon. So I'm just going to have to trust they know what they are doing here

Both he and Ray Park were good casting. That was about it for the positives.
I was also thinking about posting a Rick Astley video after Buttmunch's post

Same. The only other character I knew from his universe was Enchantress. She's been in some cartoons and had an action figure come out so I was hoping she was gonna be in the sequel. Sucks that it looks like she wont be.
Yeah, Park was a great choice for Snake Eyes. They just blew the costume. Storm Shadow wouldn't have been too bad if the hadn't screwed up the costume so much. Plus you shouldn't really see him unmasked at all either. Stupid actors and wanting their face to have screen time
Yeah, I think behind Loki the Enchantress is probably the best known Thor villian. I would have at least recognized her, but even then I still don't know much about her. So for once, with these Thor movies, I'll be just like one of the non-comic fans that have no clue on what is going on before hand

It'll be interesting to see how they sell "elves" in this movie universe. If they choose to go beyond the - "they're aliens" - premise and move on, or if they're going to develop it in a different direction. Curious.
Whoa, this is Malekith? Did they ever update his look? I can't imagine they'll use this same design for the movie....

He looks different depending on the source. Another comic:
And the animated series:

I don't know if I would consider him a downgrade but Mads is awesome. I was curious about this myself so I'll google it in a bit
