THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER Hi-Res Still Offers A Closer Look At Christian Bale's Gorr The God Butcher

The latest trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder finally pulled the curtain back on Christian Bale's twisted Gorr the God Butcher, and Marvel Studios has now released a hi-res shot of this sinister baddie...

Just like J. Michael Straczynski and Olivier Coipel's Thor run heavily inspired the God of Thunder's early MCU adventures, it now appears Marvel Studios is mining Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic's work for Thor: Love and Thunder. It's a wise decision, and one that means we'll see both Jane Foster's Mighty Thor and Gorr the God Butcher in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok sequel.

The villain will be played by former Batman Christian Bale, and while he's a little less alien in appearance than his comic book counterpart, this Gorr is arguably far more terrifying.

We'd go so far as to say that he looks like a horror movie villain, and as humorous as Thor: Love and Thunder looks on the surface, we have a feeling things will get really dark when Gorr shows up. Just like what we saw on the page, this powerful villain is looking to kill every God in existence, and that's going to result in both Thors being pushed to their limits. 

It's unclear whether Chris Hemsworth intends to continue playing Thor (alongside Mark Ruffalo's Hulk and Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye, he's the final "original" Avenger standing). We certainly hope so, but you can bet your life that the hero will come out of this adventure completely changed.

Directed by Taika Waititi, the movie stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Russell Crowe, Jaimie Alexander, Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan, and Sean Gunn among others.

Thor: Love and Thunder is set to be released in theaters on July 8, 2022.

I wanna see this movie for this character/actor alone. Looks GREAT. And doing some research on him, he's pretty new (established in 2013).

Also, he has a connection with the symbiote, tho I doubt this movie will address it.

Is there a Thor Villain that hasn't looked good?

Though thinking back MCU Malekith, Gorr and Laufey do resemble each other in terms of appearance.

@breakUbatman - Even though Malekith was lackluster, he still looked cool. Thor has had arguably the best looking villains (in appearance) in every film. Loki, Laufey, Malekith, Kurse, Skurge, Hela, Surtur, and now Gorr have all looked great.

@breakUbatman - Malekith and the Dark Elves looked boring. The comic takes look way better.

Gotta be honest Gorr looked kinda off to me in the trailer but I've got a feeling that's more to do with the shots they chose to include rather than the character himself, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Christian Bale does with the character, feels like ages since I've seen him in anything.

Also I wonder if there's an in-story reason for this version of Gorr looking more human? And will his look evolve over the course of the movie?

One of the coolest Marvel villain designs. He looks spooky as hell. And glad they didnt do the noseless thing. Always looks goofy and silly. Voldemort was never once scary and that makeup was one reason.

No heavy make up or cgi needed, come on man its Christian Bale

How many times do you think Christian Bale will have to answer what he thought of Robert Pattinson’s Batman during the press tour?
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 5/24/2022, 8:28 AM
@manofillintent1 - Marvel doesn't play that type of harassment anymore. After that one interview with RDJ and the interviewer kept pushing for personal life questions and not for the movie, Marvel sets guidelines as to what can and can't be asked for their actors during press tours.

It's kinda weird to remember the times when marvel movies were more faithful to the comics that stuff like the Fox movies.

@WEAPONXOXOXO - Every Marvel film has 'had' comedy elements... just like life does.

Burning to the ground as in raking in the money and growing a loyal base of fans... you're right!
