Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has been cast as one of the lead villains in Marvel’s Alan Taylor-directed Thor: The Dark World. He will take on the dual roles of Algrim the Strong and Kurse.
Algrim the Strong was the most powerful of a race of Dark Elves, who is coerced by Malekith to fight Thor. After he’s betrayed by Malekith and injured during a battle, Algrim is healed and transformed into a much more powerful being called Kurse, who is twice as a strong as Thor.
