Thor: The Dark World
With only weeks to go until Chris Hemsworth once again wields the mighty Mjölnir inThor : Ragnarok , fans are given a fresh flavor at the God of Thunder ’s previous outing and some original concept artistic production for the villainous Malekith .
cover the drift ofthe MCU ’s baddie trouble , Doctor Whoalumni Christopher Eccleston stuck on the prosthetics to diddle Malekith the Accursed in 2013’sThor : The Dark World . While a unlike design may not have helped the movie ’s big high-risk stand out any further from the crowd , there is no refuse that the Malekith that Disney settled on was surely different from his mirthful book counterpart .
Taking toInstagram , Marvel concept artist Andy Park is celebrating the comer ofRagnarokand reveal some of his original excogitation for the Dark Elf of Svartalfheim , to show comic book lover what they could ’ve had in Alan Taylor ’s MCU film :
ThorRagnarok is about a calendar month away ! But permit ’s take a look back at his previous cinematic escapade . I especially enjoy exploring concept designs for Malekith .

In particular , note that the long - haired version of Malekith is much more in restrain with the supervillain that Walt Simonson first insert inThor # 344back in 1984 . Looking like sort of demented Lucius Malfoy , this was the feeling that most risible Koran devotee expect Eccleston to come out as in theThorsequel . As for the second design , mark that Malekith has a much more technologically advanced look , and even bears an eldritch resemblance to other MCU villain Nebula . Ultimately , Taylor go with the mask version that hearing saw on their screen door inThe Dark World , and who have it off whether a simple tweak to the look would ’ve made any difference at all .
Thor : The Dark World , by most accounts , is the dark sheep of the MCU back catalogue . blight with problems from daytime one - admit , thedeparture of Patty Jenkinsas the film ’s original director - it is no surprise thatThe Dark Worldis the lowest - rated Marvel film since the MCU kick off withIron Manin 2008 . Among the biggest problems were a lustreless plot of land to publish the Aether over the nine realms and many feeling that Eccleston ’s performance as Malekith did n’t hit the spot . With too much of the chronicle get hold of stead on Earth , there was also that lamented final battle where Eccleston ’s forgettable bad cat was crushed by his own ship . Being one of the few MCU villains to meet their maker after the first field day , it is n’t even like the role can be save with another cinematic sashay and an outfit alteration .
gratefully , it seems that object lesson have been pick up fromThe Dark World- and going for a garish neon tone andupping the playfulness factor forRagnarok , hope are high that Taika Waititi can mint the franchise with a bolt of loge office lightning . As forThor : Ragnarok ’s primary villain , at least Waititi is sticking with a more risible ledger - accurate theatrical performance of Hela , Goddess of Death .
