• In Thor: The Dark World, the character made an appearance as the primary villain where he was played by actor Christopher Eccleston. He was shown as being the cruel leader of the Dark Elves that were said to be beings older than the universe itself and among the Nine Realms inhabitants. Malekith led his people in their war against the Asgardians and sought to use the Aether Infinity Stone to bring about the end of existence. However, Bor who was the King of Asgard laid siege to the Dark Elf homeworld and managed to take the relic away from the Dark Elves whose population was decimated. Only a small fraction of Dark Elves and their leader Malekith managed to escape in a single ship where they went into deep space to hide for centuries whilst they slumbered. Malekith would awaken from hibernation when Jane Foster in the modern day accidently found the Aether with the Dark Elves emerging to continue their goal. The Dark Elf King would transform his faithful lieutenant Algrim into one of the Kursed and launch a surprise attack against Asgard itself to acquire the Aether that was within Jane Foster. During the attack, queen Frigga was slain and in anger Thor struck Malekith with lightning which burnt half his face but he managed to escape. At the ruined Dark Elf homeworld of Svartalfheim, Malekith had a meeting with the Asgardians where it seemed Jane Foster was betrayed to Dark Elves by Loki but this turned out to be a trick where Thor tried to destroy the Aether. However, the Infinity Stone could not be destroyed and Malekith used this chance to absorb the Aether into himself where he departed to Earth to use the convergence of the Nine Realms to spread the power of the stone to destroy the universe. Thor would battle the Aether-empowered Maliketh were they fell through numerous dimensional portals but the Asgardian would manage to use teleporter rods made by Erik Selvig to remove the Dark Elf King's arms to Svartalfheim. Maliketh would comment that the Aether could no be destroyed but Thor replied by saying the Dark Elf could whereupon he stabbed him in he chest with the last device. This sent him smashing against the wall of his ship and teleporting it on top of Maliketh crushing him against it and ending his plan to destroy all of creation.
