Thor:
The Dark World opens on November 8th.
THOR
(CHRIS HEMSWORTH): Thor Odinson is the Prince and future King of Asgard, an
advanced alien civilization. Once arrogant and impulsive, Thor was banished to
Earth by his father, Odin. The experience taught him humility, but put him into
conflict with his adopted brother Loki. After saving the Earth from Loki’s
schemes alongside the Avengers, Thor now faces a new enemy — one that threatens
to destroy everything he cares for.
LOKI
(TOM HIDDLESTON): Loki Laufeyson is the adopted brother of Thor, raised
alongside him from birth by Odin. Upon learning his true lineage, Loki sought
to conquer both Asgard and Earth but was stopped by Thor and the Avengers.
Still arrogant and unrepentant, Loki sits in the dungeons of Asgard, with only
his mother Frigga seeing any hope for him. But when an ancient enemy seeks the
destruction of Asgard, Loki finds his loyalties tested.
JANE
FOSTER (NATALIE PORTMAN): Jane Foster is an astrophysicist who met Thor when he
was exiled to Earth by his father. The two had an intense attraction in the
short time they were together, and through Jane, Thor learned the value of
humility and the heroic nature of humanity. After being separated since Thor’s
first visit to Earth, Jane has moved on with her life… but now finds herself
pulled into Thor’s world once again by an ancient evil.
DR.
ERIK SELVIG (STELLAN SKARSGÅRD): Dr. Erik Selvig is a fellow astrophysicist and
mentor to Jane Foster and was with her when Thor arrived on Earth. Selvig’s
mind was possessed by Loki, who forced him to aid in his invasion of Earth.
Loki’s mind control was lifted after Thor and the Avengers defeated him, but
Selvig’s mental state has deteriorated due to Loki’s influence. Selvig now
finds himself at the center of cosmic events once again as two worlds collide.
DARCY
LEWIS (KAT DENNINGS): Darcy Lewis is Jane Foster’s intern, a quirky but
quick-thinking poli-sci major who found herself in the middle of Earth’s first
contact with an alien civilization. And while she doesn’t always understand
everything that’s happening around her, she doesn’t hesitate to speak up about
it. When Jane discovers an ancient cosmological event affecting the Earth, it’s
Darcy who has to pick up the slack when Jane disappears.
HEIMDALL
(IDRIS ELBA): Heimdall is the sentinel of Asgard with the ability to see and
hear events galaxies away. He stands at his post in Asgard’s Observatory,
watching over the cosmos and protecting Asgard from any and all intruders. As
one of Odin’s most trusted warriors, Heimdall is beyond reproach… but now
Asgard faces an enemy that even Heimdall cannot see.
MALEKITH
(CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON): Malekith is the cruel leader of the Dark Elves, a race
of beings said to be older than the universe itself. Born into darkness,
Malekith led his people in a war against the Asgardians, but they were thought
to have been destroyed thousands of years ago. Malekith survived, however, and
now seeks to transform our universe, plunging it back into eternal darkness.
ALGRIM/KURSE
(ADEWALE AKINNUOYE-AGBAJE): Algrim/Kurse is Malekith’s trusted and loyal
lieutenant. He fought at Malekith’s side during the initial war with Asgard
thousands of years ago, but now their time is running out. Algrim is called
upon to make the ultimate sacrifice and is transformed into the monstrous
Kurse. With a new and terrifying power, Kurse seeks to destroy Thor and Asgard
in preparation for Malekith’s arrival.
VOLSTAGG
(RAY STEVENSON): Volstagg makes up one third of the Warriors Three, Asgard’s
greatest and most loyal warriors. Large and imposing, Volstagg’s skill with an
axe is matched only by his appetite. With Fandral and Hogun, Volstagg has
fought alongside Thor on many adventures across the cosmos. And while the
stories of his exploits are often elaborated, he’s a hero to the Asgardian
people.
FANDRAL
(ZACHARY LEVI): Fandral is Asgard’s finest swordsman, which serves him well as
a member of the Warriors Three. Alongside Volstagg and Hogun, Fandral fights to
protect Asgard from any and all foes. When not using his sword to smite his
enemies, Fandral uses his charm and good looks to woo the ladies.
HOGUN
(TADANOBU ASANO): Hogun, often known as Hogun The Grim, is the deadliest of the
Warriors Three. With both spiked mace and blade, Hogun defends Asgard as well
as his own home, the peaceful planet of Vanaheim. Though he rarely speaks, his
loyalty to Thor is legendary… as is his disapproval of Fandral and Volstagg’s
frivolous natures.
SIF
(JAIMIE ALEXANDER): Sif is one of Asgard’s most formidable warriors. Skilled
and fearless, she’s a trusted and faithful ally to Thor. During his banishment,
Sif saw Loki’s treachery and risked all to return Thor to Asgard…but on Earth,
she saw that she had lost Thor’s heart to another—the human Jane Foster. Now at
the end of a long campaign to free the Nine Realms from strife, Sif seeks to
rekindle her relationship with Thor.
FRIGGA
(RENE RUSSO): Frigga is wife of Odin and mother of Thor and Loki. The glue that
holds the royal family together, Frigga knew that there was more to Odin’s
banishment of Thor than met the eye, just as she now sees that there’s more
within the villainous Loki than the others see. But when Asgard is attacked,
Frigga will fight to defend those that she loves at any cost.
ODIN
(ANTHONY HOPKINS): Odin is King of Asgard, Protector of the Nine Realms, and
father to Thor and Loki. Odin’s long reign is coming to an end, however, and
while disappointed with Thor’s arrogance at first, he now sees that Thor is
ready for the throne. But when an ancient enemy returns, Odin questions Thor’s
allegiances… for if Thor is to be king, he must choose duty over his heart’s
desires.
