First Look at Christian Bale as Thor: Love and Thunder Villain Revealed

As fans eagerly await the arrival of the first trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder, it slowly begins to reveal its characters. The new instance in the saga of the God of Thunder will once again star Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and will see the return of Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, who will assume the identity of Mighty Thor.

But in addition to the heroes, the Taika Waititi-directed film will also have a new villain. This is Gorr the Butcher of Gods, who will be played by Christian Bale.

This character made his first appearance in the first issue of Thor: God of Thunder in 2013, and was created by Jason Aaron and artist Esad T. Ribic. According to the comics, Gorr is an alien who after discovering the existence of the gods, and that they failed to save his family, begins a fierce quest through the universe to hunt down and kill all the gods, becoming one of the greatest. Thor’s enemies.

Waititi previously said that Jason Aaron’s comic has been a huge inspiration for both his work on Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder. In January 2020, it was learned that Bale had been chosen to play Gorr the Butcher of Gods.

Now, thanks to a new set of merchandise from the film, fans have their first glimpse of the actor’s fearsome villain. Through Toy Leaks the first images of the Marvel Legends action figures were known, which includes the protagonists of Thor: Love and Thunder. One of the figures offers a glimpse of Bale as Gorr, who looks a bit different from his appearance in the comics.

At first glance, the character’s design is noticeably different from the Marvel comics. One of the most noticeable changes is the lack of the tentacles that come out of his head, and his white robe, different from the black one he wears in the comics. We must not lose sight of the fact that it is a first look and that the images are not in the best quality, so in the film it could change.

One of Gorr’s accompanying items is his black sword, which is called the Necrosword in the comics. This weapon was created by Knull, the god of symbiotes, which is the same species that Venom and Carnage belong to. This is another of the many weapons within the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a mysterious origin, like the Ten Rings, the Darkhold (the book that appears at the end of WandaVision), and the Ebony Blade. Just three months after the premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder, the first trailer for the film is expected to arrive in the coming weeks, offering a better look at the story and the characters. The film hits theaters on July 8, 2022.
