Poor choice of words or GREAT choice of words depending on who you ask.

IAnd then she a bit too smugly, gleefully and easily fingers her boss and friend in the hospital

I would have paid extra to see that in 3D.

Mads Mikkelson drops out of Thor 2.

 

[Aldo]

That's too bad, he would have been a major coup.

 

[JD]

And we have a title, The Dark World.

 

[Skywalker]

Cool title. I'm glad they're using subtitles with the Thor and Cap sequels. I hate bland numerical titles.

 

[Dream]

Interesting title. Obviously WAY better than Thor 2.

 

[Admiral James Kirk]

What is this "Dark World" they refer to? It is another realm? Is it Asgard without the bifrost? Is it a reference to the end of our world?

 

[Skywalker]

It could be a reference to Svartalfheim, the home of the Dark Elves. Malekith, a member of Thor's rogues gallery, is the king of the Dark Elves.

 

[JD]

I think it's safe to say this title's not as informative the Cap 2 one.

 

[TemporalFlux]

For some reason, "The Dark World" makes me think of the black galaxy (birthplace of Ego the Living Planet). I doubt they're going there, but it's part of Thor mythos and Marvel cosmic.

More likely that we'll have the Algrim story with Enchantress changing him into Kurse instead of the Beyonder.

 

[Captain Craig]

Interesting, the sub-title is mysterious yet instantly has you thinking.

 

[Turtletrekker]

^ Unlike Cap 2's subtitle, which tells you a lot with three words.

True. They giveth and they also concealeth.
Little bit of this, little bit of that.

This is from the Wiki article about the sequel.

The same month, Feige stated the sequel would "take Thor literally to other worlds" and would "primarily be the journey of that character, of he and Jane Foster and how the new dynamic with his father is working out, as well as what are the broader stakes for The Nine Worlds".

 

[Captain Craig]

It could be a reference to Svartalfheim, the home of the Dark Elves. Malekith, a member of Thor's rogues gallery, is the king of the Dark Elves.

Seems highly likely. This is an update with a shaker of salt perhaps but if true lends heavy credence to Skywalkers post.

Thanks to a brief chat with Hollywood stunt man James Grogan, we may have our answer. Whilst discussing the importance of acting chops in stunt work, Grogan related the experience to a certain Marvel film that he’s currently training for. “The other day for example, this is quite random but I was working on Thor 2,” he explains, “I had a load of stunt guys in and the director came in and he said ‘Look, we want you all to be elves,’ and I was like ‘What the hell is an elf anyway?’ and he said ‘I want you all to walk around like these supernatural animals,’ honestly it was the most ridiculous thing ever but you just have to not be self aware and get on with it.”

 

[Derishton]

Not to be too fussy, but I'm going to go ahead and assume stunt-people who elves are silly in a post-LOTR, post-Avatar world is already not "self-aware."

 

[Turtletrekker]

Location and a description of a scene. Apparently, the movie is using the working title (or probably more accurately, "decoy title") of "Thursdays's Morning"

 

[Admiral_Young]

The Ninth Doctor checks into Svartalfheim, Christopher Eccleston plays the leader of the Dark Elves, Malekith, who I can't say I'm familiar with at all...but very cool casting!
