In the following video below, Thor 2 actor Tom Hiddleston is asked about Christopher Eccleston, who plays the filmâs villain, Malekith the Accursed.
Hiddleston has only good things to say about Eccleston, as he really canât offer too many spoilers.
âChristopher Eccleston is one of Britainâs greatest actors He brings a degree of commitment, intelligence, conviction and complexity to everything he does. I think he really got his teeth into this thing. Christopher has enormous presence, which is very distinguishable on stage as well as film. Itâs one of those things you canât really define, you just canât stop watching him when heâs on screen. I think heâll be absolutely magnetic. Malekith has his own ambition. Whether or not Loki can coincide with or contradict, subvert or enhance that ambition remains to be seen.â
