As an Icelander, the pronounciations of the nordic names in Marvel movies crack me up. Especially Bifrost (which they pronounce "bi-frost" instead of 'bif-rost", and Laufey (pronounced very differently, also a decidedly female name).

That is actually a lot closer to the Icelandic one, except the F sounds more like a V and -röst rhymes with bust.
