Christian Bale has already been one of the most memorable Hollywood superheroes. Now he\u0027s trying to be just as good a supervillain.
And from the early reactions he seems to have succeeded with his new Marvel Studios movie “Thor: Love and Thunder,” opposite Chris Hemsworth, out in theaters this weekend.
The titular stars generally dominate the conversation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there are a few villains who have stolen the show: Josh Brolin as Thanos in multiple “Avengers” movies, Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger in “Black Panther” and Tom Hiddleston’s many turns as Thor’s seldom trustworthy brother Loki.
“You have somebody whose name explains it all as Gorr the God Butcher,” Bale said. “But as people will see when they witness the film, yes, he’s a monster, but there’s a slight confusion about it, because I don’t think it’s stretching it to say you can in some ways understand where he came from.” “I would [tell people] we’re going to sort of do Batman, but take him seriously. I had tons of people laugh at me and just say, ‘Well, that’s just not going to work at all,'” Bale said. “So, it’s wonderful to be a part of a trilogy that proved those people wrong. I’m not certain if it kick-started [the MCU] but it certainly helped along the way.”
When it came time to design the character, the more alien look from the comics was cast aside for what would essentially be a shaved head, very creepy teeth and a paint job. Waititi also told IGN there were concerns the comic version of Gorr looked too similar to Voldemort from the Harry Potter movies. All involved assumed the power of Bale’s potential performance would outweigh any prosthetics aimed at pinpoint comic book accuracy.
