Joe: The Rise of Cobra) as Algrim the Strong / Kurse, Zachary Levi (Chuck) as Fandral and Clive Russell (Game of Thrones) as Tyr.
"Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all."
Thor: The Dark World is set for release on November 8th, although it has been rumoured it will arrive here in the UK towards the end of October.
