Time to start your Doctor Who/Thor fan-fiction, everyone:
Christopher Eccleston has been set for the villain role in Marvel Studios’ Thor: The Dark World, starring opposite Chris Hemsworth in the role of Malekith The Accursed.
Former Doctor in the revival of the British sci-fi TV show, Eccleston is a great actor who, occasionally, gets terrible roles – I’m looking at you, Destro in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Given the right director (and, given his Game of Thrones pedigree, I suspect Alan Taylor will be a good choice), I suspect he’ll bring the good stuff to the second Thor movie, though.

Occasionally? What has he done since his stint on Heroes that was a good role? He deserves a lot better, and hopefully he can find it here. But I wonder if he ever regrets leaving Who after one season, given that Tennant got to do things like Hamlet.

Great actor and my favorite Doctor. I hope this role gives him the break and exposure he needs.
I also hope he’ll do a cameo for the 50th anniversary specials next year, but who am I kidding…
