Kurse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
Kurse (also known as Algrim the Strong) is the secondary antagonist of the 2013 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Thor: The Dark World.
He is a Dark Elf who served as the right-hand man to Malekith. Loyally serving his master during the war against the Asgardians, he was one of the few Dark Elves who survived the catastrophe that almost wiped out their race. 5,000 years later, Algrim did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to transform into the last of the Kursed, a Dark Elf "super soldier", so they could unleash their revenge on Asgard.
He was portrayed by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who also played Simon Adebisi in Oz, Lock-Nah in The Mummy Returns, Nykwana Wombosi in Bourne Identity, Mr. Eko in Lost, Malko in Game of Thrones, Killer Croc in Suicide Squad, and Vervain in Watership Down.
