MCU: Every Infinity Saga Villain RANKED

23. Thor: The Dark World - Malekith The Accursed

Thor: The Dark World has been pretty much regarded as the worst film in the MCU (to date) and it's no fault to the cast.

Coming off the heels of the first Avengers collaboration, Thor's second solo outing sees the hero do battle with ancient and nefarious "Dark Elves" as he and Jane (and to a lesser extent Loki) try to uncover the mysteries of a dangerous MacGuffin called The Aether (later revealed to be the Reality Stone).

The whole film is a sloppy mess, and one of the poor victims of this garbage fire is Christopher Eccleston's character Malekith The Accursed - a Dark Elf fresh off the generic villain assembly line whose motives, reasoning and personality are about as fleshed out as a tree stump.

Poor Christopher Eccleston though; he certainly didn't know what kind of character he was playing. For an actor as talented as he is, his abilities are very underused in this film leading him to be one of the least memorable characters in the entire franchise.
