Could This Comics Villain Be The REAL Antagonist Of THOR: THE DARK WORLD?

We all know the villain of Thor: The Dark Worlf is Malekith the Accursed, but could there be another baddie behind the chaos in the film? Read on for my theories involving a character from the comics you're sure to recognize..

So for anyone who has been living under a rock, Malekith the Accursed will be the antagonist for the upcoming film, Thor:The Dark World. For those comic book movie fans that couldn't wait over the summer until November and for even those who had an acumen over the trailer, spoiler alert: It was revealed that Loki betrays Thor(not that much of a surprise). In a frame in the second trailer, Thor can be seen on the ground while Loki, Malekith, Kurse, and the Dark Elves restrain Jane Foster in some magical Darth Vader choke hold. The frame can be seen below:





If you're an active reader of Marvel Comics, you'd know the villainous bond both Loki and Malekith share. They're an ingredient that would be sure as hell to start some trouble. But not only that, they both work under a certain monarch known by many fans of Thor, known as Surtur.



For those of you who aren't that much of a Thor reader, Surtur is one of Odin's greatest enemies and is the monarch of Muspelheim. Surtur has powers beyond most Marvel heroes, in some cases including Thor. But enough with the character background.

This is almost in congruency with the Loki and Thanos relationship in The Avengers, there's a villain who's set out to complete the goal of the villain behind the scenes. But what you must think about is, even if Malekith did plan this entire operation out, what would be his sole purpose in the destruction of Earth? There has to be something behind all of this.

Surtur's goal within the Marvel Comics mythology was to destroy the Earth since he was imprisoned within it's depths for years. Why wouldn't he want to destroy Earth? Not to mention, Loki and Malekith became partners in crime because of Surtur. Within the Modern Age, Loki set out to disband the relationship between Thor and Jane and in order to do so, he releases Surtur, which comes back into play with the image above of Jane being choked with some type of magic.

So what are your thoughts? Do you think someone such as Cul Borson is behind this? Sound off your comments below in the comments section below.

Pretty obvious. Surtur and Maklekith has an awesome relationship in the comics. Wouldn't be surprised.

Makes sense. Not sure if that's the route they will go, but I wouldn't necessarily be shocked if they went that direction

Would love to see Surtur.

It would be awesome if in The Dark World, Loki dies. And in Age of Ultron Thor dies, but he awakens in hell (surtur a realm) and also finds Loki there leading to Thor 2.

Not Thor 2, Thor 3!! Dammit

Sounds plausible and awesome when you think about it, I just hope that he doesn't end up as a Galactus fart cloud though.

Actually , is it me or is the second thing you cricked looks like Heimdals helmet?

That's Kurse in the middle played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje... Nice try though.

Loki doesn't truly betray Thor in this film. Like in every bad guy allies with good guy film there is a moment where it appears Loki betrays him.

@StrangeDynamo I never said that was Surtur and yes I did circle Thor and Loki to represent how Loki betrays Thor if you were to read the article instead of only looking at pictures.

Loki will betray Thor but only to get the upper hand on the enemy. It won't last. He's too popular not to become a hero this time around...

As long as he's not a fart cloud like Galactus was.

Who cares huh

Surtur would be epic! It would make up for his non-appearance in EMH. Also side note, there should be a film about Gusto called GO FOR THE GUSTO! Starring Gusto. Co-starring Batz, McGee and JoeMomma. With special cameo by Tea

If Surtur is the main villain in Thor 3, then please call it 'Thor: Ragnarok'.

@ninjacarm the people who took the time to read and comment the post

I'm calling it right now. Loki does not actually betray Thor, but it is instead a scheme between the two to trick Malekith.

Surtur would be [frick]ing awesome

Sooo whats the proof that Sutur is in the film, a single shot from a trailer that we still dont know in context whats exactly going on in that shot until the film is released?

interesting theory. i like it but we'll see if thats where they decide to go

I think that thing in the bottom of the frame is Loki's helmet

Surtur for THOR III! Let Ragnarok begin bitches!
ahhmynuts
ahhmynuts - 10/1/2013, 9:07 PM
im not a big believer in this theory. itd be cool and all but doesnt fit for me. surtur wants to destroy the world but loki wants to take over it and enslave the humans. two totally different goals there. i think in the end thanos is the big guy pulling the strings not surtur and thor 3 will feature the enchantress and executioner. now surtur could still a big cog for thor 3 but just not for the reasons you described.

That would be incredibly awesome.

I hope not. Don't want my hopes up as high like the last time Surtur was hinted as a big bad. Remember Earth's Mightiest Heroes? It had a nice run, but the Surtur subplot in the show was left without a satisfying conclusion.

Hold up.. Is the Thor Video game from 2011 cannon to the MCU? If so then Thor already defeated Surtur

@NpaMusic You must be new here.. Welcome to the family. Grif is a CBM OG. His name is spoken in the same vein as legends such as TeaBag,Intruder and the sadly deposed LEVITIKUZ. LOL
