In Thor: The Dark World, the Marvel Cinematic Universe plunges into one of its darkest chapters with the return of an ancient threat. Following the events of The Avengers, Thor strives to restore peace across the Nine Realms, which have descended into chaos. However, his mission is abruptly interrupted by the reappearance of an old race led by Malekith, a vengeful being whose goal is to plunge the universe into eternal darkness.
Malekith, leader of the Dark Elves, is no ordinary enemy. His power is so immense that not even Odin, the king of Asgard, dares to confront him directly. Millennia ago, this race was defeated and believed to be extinct, but they have now returned to reclaim a devastating weapon known as the Aether—an entity capable of altering reality itself and reverting the universe to its primordial state of darkness. Faced with this threat, Thor is forced to embark on a desperate and deeply personal mission.
