\"\"<\/a>Christopher Eccleston has enough geek cred built up from his time as\u00a0Doctor Who, <\/strong>his work on Heroes<\/strong>, and his bringing Destro to life on the big screen in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra<\/strong> that he doesn’t ever need to take another genre role and he will still be\u00a0worshiped\u00a0as a geek good at comic shops and sci-fi conventions around the world. \u00a0But when he is rumored to become involved as a comic book film, his fans let loose a little squeal of joy.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting that Eccleston has been cast in the role of Malekith the Accursed, the main villain in\u00a0Thor: The Dark World<\/strong>. We spoke a bit about the character here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, we should hold our breathe a bit until that information is officially confirmed. After all, Deadline were the ones who originally reported that Jessica Biel was definitely cast as Viper in\u00a0The Wolverine<\/strong>. But if it is true, the sequel will be getting a great actor with the gravitas to play the role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

But the news is coming from Deadline, so let’s keep our fingers crossed. <\/div>\n
