>Thor: The Dark World actor Christopher Eccleston has openly criticized Marvel Studios for not informing him of the grueling demands of his role as Malekith the Accursed before he signed-on.
HOW WILL MARVEL/DISNEY EVER RECOVER??
Say what you want about DC/WB, at least they don't push their actors to the breaking point.

Who?
Woah, Jews were dishonest, guy must be so surprised
>oh no I had to sit in a make up chair for a few hours
Fuck off you irrelevant pig
What did you expect an eleven character to look like
Eccleston bitches about literally every role he gets. I'm surprised he still gets work, he shits on his past work as soon as he's finished shooting and cashed his cheque.
He did kind of get fucked over for having 25% of his scenes cut for Loki scenes and Loki reshoots
Dr Who
dishonest filmmaking confirmed
>acting
>grueling demands
This, same thing with Doctor Who. Guy seems insufferable to work with
A bald girl.
>Malekith's death in Thor: The Dark World was pretty definitive and given Christopher Eccleston's phoned in performance, it's fair to say fans probably aren't clamouring for his return! However, in a new interview, the British actor has made it clear he didn't enjoy working with Marvel and describes his role in the Alan Taylor helmed sequel as, "Not my greatest moment, it has to be said."
>"The first couple of days it was about seven hours, eight hours [in make-up]," he continued. "I think we got it down to six and a half. It's a day's work before [anything]. Marvel were dishonest to me because they never, ever let me know that there'd be that amount of make-up." So, that process clearly got him down but it appears as if he only took the job for an easy paycheque regardless!
>"Money. That’s exactly what I felt," he added when the interviewer suggested that was a good reason to play the villain. The movie didn't do much for Eccleston's career anyway and of all the characters Marvel could bring back from the dead, he's probably right on the bottom of the studio's list. What do you think of these remarks from the Thor: The Dark World star? Share your thoughts down below.
He played Dr. Literally Who for 2/3 of the first season and that's it.
...
People give a shit about Loki though, it's amazing how forgettable Malekith is even among other Marvel villains.
>he hasn't seen the Leftovers
I can't believe I share a board with you people.
...
Strange?
He's whining about the make-up process? Boo hoo hoo!
eccleston was in thor 2?
sounds like that dumb bitch jennifer lawrence complaining about the mystique makeup
yeah so what? The scenes that were cut were character development scenes for Malekith, which is why he is forgettable. He played second fiddle to Loki in the film for the most part when it should have been the other way around, or give him some other kind of leverage.
His fight with Thor is fucking kino though:

the actor who played Gimli had some ridiculous 2 hour prosthetics which he had to stay in for 2 days at a time for some shoots.
I like Eccleston, but he is a known asshole. Part of the reason I like him is because he gave the BBC so much shit after he worked for them.
That movie sucked balls, he deserved it.
This
truly this film you refer to was a masterpiece, a pressure cooker of emotion and performance, and he was not fairly warned. kino of this grade is not routinely found anywhere, and when you have a diamond like this buried in the dirt, there will be a mess to clean up afterwards.
I'm sorry he suffered, but for great art we must all suffer.
>t. never been on a filmset
>Leftovers
is pseudoartsyfartsy. Lindeloff is tv's Snyder
>sitting in a chair
>work
Fucking Brits.
im pretty sure several Game of Thrones characters have to sit in makeup even longer than that. Children of the Forest makeup was like 9-10 hours...
Marvel BTFO
>Get paid a few hundred thousand dollars to sit in a chair for a six to either hours a day for a few days.
>Whine about how difficult your life is.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here, DC fag.
and the only one of the fellowship who refuse the tatoo
>has to sit in a chair perfectly still
>can't even go to sleep since it will fuck up the makeup
>every fucking day for quarter of a year
Eccleston?
More like ECCLESCUNT
what tattoo?
Not true at all. Plenty of actors sleep while that's going on. Some read, some watch TV. You could shitpost on Sup Forums while that shit is being done.
Yes, what a terrible fate, that many actors have done over the passed two decades and have been paid a tiny fraction of, while also giving far better performances.
...
These movies are so tiresome. Like, does no one else get exhausted seeing the same bullshit routine CG shots and angles? The mind numbing nothing-for-10-minutes followed by vapidity-for-30?
Something retarded in that Tolkien made up nerd language.
Yes, but you don't even notice that you change up your habits even while shitposting on here. 6 hours in a chair is insane.
Hey, not defending him, he was shit in Thor
do yourself a favour
good
>During an interview with BBC Radio 2, former Doctor Who actor Christopher Eccelston revealed that he was lied to by Marvel Studios ahead of his role in the film.
>He apparently wasn't told that Malekith, the film's villain, would require nearly as much makeup as it did.
That's not lying. Lying would be saying "you don't need much makeup". They just assumed he wouldn't be such a pussy and would be happy to make thousands of dollars for sitting in a chair.
cringe
It's not like long make-up applications are anything even remotely new to the industry. Goldblum's makeup in The Fly took 5 hours. Also, Dave Bautista had to do the exact same makeup shit, but he had to do it standing up and reportedly never complained even once.
Eccleston doesn't have the star power to be a cock like this. What studio is going to want to work with him after he publicly derides Marvel for plucking him out of relative obscurity and featuring him in one of their films?
>make thousands of dollars for sitting in a chair
>meanwhile some makeup artist is standing and working with their hands for those same 8 hours but making like 20$ per hour
How out of touch do you have to be to think this will gain you sympathy? Actors are the worst fucking people.
You can get up and move around, user. It's not as though they strap you down and shove a catheter up your dick.
This is some pretty weak DC damage control.
>"You think I’m going to be tattooed by some drunken Maori with a dirty needle? Think again. If I had a bloody tattoo for every film I’d done, I’d be a walking billboard."
And he hated the makeup because he had allergic reactions and his eyes would swell shut, apparently.
>If I had a bloody tattoo for every film I’d done, I’d be a walking billboard.
More like for every sliders episode. he's not McKellen. Or even Mortensen. His career is shit
I liked him in Shogun.
>Mention off-hand that he wasn't expecting so much make-up and Marvel never mentioned to him how much would be involved
>"YOU'RE A FUCKING WHITE MALE HOW DARE YOU COMPLAIN KISS MARVEL'S FEET NOW!"
Sensationalist news works because you people are fucking retarded. Everybody go watch the Shadow Line.
>Justice League bombs so DC shills spam total non-stories
I don't even like Marvel shit, but this is fucking pathetic.
No he played him for the whole first season. He regenerated at the end of the final episode, and Tennant took over from the Christmas special onward.
Didn't even know it was Eccleston to be honest.
...
dubs of truth
I honestly don't remember Thor 2. And needless to say, I didn't recognize some D-list British celebrity in heavy make-up/costume.
He definitely sounds like some wanker that likes attention. When they show him the concept art of his character, how does he not realize that it will take hours to put on that look?
>at least they don't push their actors to the breaking point.
WAKE ME UP
star lord man
Disney shitskins had the same attitude when Mark Hamill DARED to complain about The Farce Awakens.
>UGH, YOU FUCKING OLD MAN YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL DISNEY IS PAYING YOU AT ALL! YOU'RE NOT A REAL ACTOR ANYWAYS!
It's almost as if studio fanboys are all retards.
he still hasn't watched man of steel btw, and he fell asleep during BvS
so based
He's British so he probably resents having to depend on American movies for achieving his career goals
...
Whoever is the one faggot snarkingly posting pictures of this ghoul should kill himself, embarassing t b h.

>It's not like long make-up applications are anything even remotely new to the industry. Goldblum's makeup in The Fly took 5 hours. Also, Dave Bautista had to do the exact same makeup shit, but he had to do it standing up and reportedly never complained even once.
The difference is those are substantial, meaningful roles where the make up process was important.
Eccleston spent hours being coated in shit for a role a literal non-name extra could have delivered equally as effectively.
And like, lol at the idea of Marvel "plucking him from relative obscurity", he was slumming in that movie. Not that it excuses Marvel completely misusing him.
Honestly I respect him more for that, getting tattoos for things like that is retarded.
Imaging being Will Smith or Margot Robbie with their retarded SQWAD tattoos?
...
John Rhys-Davies was a crotchety middle aged conservative when he did those movies. Not surprised at all he wouldn't be down with getting a tattoo.
Thor 2 was completely ruined by a grown man walking around in his fruit of the looms for way too fucking long.
Every scene on earth was boring as shit. Anything off world was pretty okay.
...
Did they tattoo the little girl?
>grueling demands
>of acting in a children's movie
Fuckin' pussy.
>shit talking eccleston
faggot
His complaint seems to be they never told him he'd have to spend that long getting the make up done. He would have turned up ready to film and then been told to sit down for 7hrs to have the make up done, if he already was only doing it for the money finding that out once hed arrived would have killed all his motivation
Eccleston is the actor equivalent of a pampered teenage girl. Hyperbole might as well be his middle name.
>HOW WILL MARVEL/DISNEY EVER RECOVER??
Well, it has been 12 years between Doctor Who and now.
DISHONEST!
SAD!
>grueling demands of his role
but people say he's the part that sucks.
kek
What a fucking crybaby.
>HOW WILL MARVEL/DISNEY EVER RECOVER??
They'll cast David Tennant instead.
Because playing pretend for millions of dollars is so hard? you pussy
Shitty memes cant substitute an argument, bitchboy.
Is this what Sup Forums has been reduced to? Pathetic clickbait about capeshit?
They already did and he unironically was one of the best live action Marvel villains to date
user's right
They should cast him as the Joker
HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GET TO GREENWICH 3 FUCKING STOPS FROM MOTHERFUCKING CHARING CROSS
Matt Smith would probably be a better Joker
This right here.
Perlman had to be in full body makeup the entire time on set and Eccleston had what? A face prosthetic and some makeup?
Malekith was in full armor nearly the entire movie so I cant really see how it could have been that bad.
One of the best Dr who actors
