Actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has been speaking to The LA Times about his forthcoming role in Thor: The Dark World.
Playing Algrim and the character’s demonic alter-ego, Kurse, in this year’s Marvel sequel, the actor said it was like “an almalgamation of a bull and a lava-like creature”.
“He has very animalistic tendencies but with this insatiable and unstoppable power. As an actor, that’s one of the hardest things to embody,” he said.
“You have to realize you are probably the most powerful thing you could imagine. And you have to be that. You can’t pretend, so that when you face Thor, it’s real.”
Algrim first appeared in Thor #347 and was one of the most powerful of the dark elves. He is given the task of killing Thor by Malekith the Accursed (set to be played by Christopher Eccleston).
Thor: The Dark World is released on November 8.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
