Last November, Pace was mentioned as one of several actors being considered to play hero Peter Quill, aka Star Lord. Pratt ultimately won that role but Marvel was impressed with Pace's audition and kept him in mind when it came time to cast the villain.

Pace, who recently worked with Steven Spielberg on "Lincoln" and had a supporting role in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," plays Thranduil in Peter Jackson's "Hobbit" trilogy.
