8 Actors We Wish Hadn’t Already Appeared In The MCU

8. Christopher Eccleston

Christopher Eccelston has earned his reputation as one of the leading actors of British stage and screen.

The decorated performer has a tonne of experience in the industry ranging from massive Hollywood projects to small independent movies. His memorable voice, nuanced performances, and gravitas is always a welcome sight, which is why he seemed perfect for a villainous role in the MCU.

Seeing the former Doctor take on Thor was a match made in heaven on paper, and his part of Malekith seemed promising at first. The Accursed Dark Elf had the potential to be a real thorn in the side of the God of Thunder, but he ended up becoming one of the worst villains in the entire series thanks to his lacklustre motive, dull powers and lack of nuance.

It's safe to say that this talented performer was wasted in the role, not only because he barely did anything of importance, but because whatever he was given was entirely inconsequential. There were so many better positions to use him in, but sadly he will always remain the disappointing second villain in the Thor series.
