Gorr Is Already Thor's Worst Villain (Because of Thanos)
Gorr the God Butcher is already Thor's worst villain ahead of Thor: Love and Thunder because of Thanos. Chris Hemsworth's Thor is continuing his arc post-Infinity Saga in the upcoming Taika Waititi-directed movie. In Thor: Love and Thunder, the titular God of Thunder is set to face off against Gorr the God Butcher, played by Christian Bale. Marvel Studios has kept details about the villain scant, but with the limited information known about the character, he appears to be the most dangerous adversary Thor would face.
Marvel is going bigger and bolder with Thor: Love and Thunder on the heels of Thor: Ragnarok's success. Aside from the God of Thunder himself, the Thor sequel will also see Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) returning to the MCU wielding the hammer Mjölnir as Mighty Thor. Together with Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), they are set to square off against Gorr the God Butcher, who harbors a grudge against gods and wants to exact revenge against them. For his and the rest of Asgard's sake, Thor needs to unretire and return to his fighting days to stop his newest foe.

Despite this, he is already Thor's worst villain because of the God of Thunder's previous encounter with Thanos. In Marvel Comics, Gorr the God Butcher goes on a mission to seek revenge against the gods after the tragic death of his family. He's convinced the higher beings only look after themselves, failing to uphold their responsibility to protect those beneath them. This might hit a nerve for Thor, who wasn't able to stop Thanos's snap in Avengers: Infinity War.
