The British actor will be playing dual parts in the form of Algrim the Strong and Kurse. Created by Walter Simonson, Algrim the Strong was introduced in 1984’s “Thor” #347 as the most powerful of the race of Dark Elves. Coerced by his ruler Malekith the Accursed into battling Thor, Algrim is betrayed by Malekith and critically injured, only to later be healed and transformed into Kurse, a being twice as strong as the thunder god.
