Eons ago, Bor, father of Odin, clashed with the Dark Elf Malekith, who sought to destroy the universe using a weapon known as the Aether. After conquering Malekith's forces, including the enhanced warriors the Kursed, on their home planet of Svartalfheim, Bor contains the Aether within a stone column. Unbeknownst to him, Malekith, his lieutenant Algrim, and a handful of Dark Elves escape into suspended animation.
In current-day Asgard, Loki stands imprisoned for his war crimes on Earth.

Heimdall alerts Thor of Jane's recent disappearance, leading Thor to bring her to Asgard. There, the Asgardian doctors state that they cannot remove the Aether, due to its ability to discharge powerful protective energy blasts when Jane is threatened.

When they fail to capture her, they escape, killing Thor's mother, Frigga. Despite Odin's orders not to leave Asgard, Thor reluctantly teams up with Loki, who knows a secret portal to Malekith's world, where they will bring Jane in order to lure and confront Malekith and keep him from
