However Bale ultimately felt about his time on the latest Marvel movie, with Gorr dying at the end of Love and Thunder, unless the character is resurrected or we pay a visit to him in the afterlife, it stands to reason that this will be the actor’s sole outing in the MCU. As I’m trying to get help getting the fangs in and out and explaining I’ve broken a nail, or I’m tripping over the tunic.ĭespite Christian Bale struggling with the green screen and issues with his costuming/makeup, his performance as Gorr the God Butcher has been one of the praised elements of Thor: Love and Thunder, although the movie itself has been met with overall mixed reception.
