Gorr the God Butcher Creator Defends Bale's Love & Thunder Villain Design
Jason Aaron, one of the creators of Gorr the God Butcher, defends the live-action design of Christian Bale's take on the villain in Thor: Love and Thunder. After three solo outings and a number of Avengers team-up movies, Chris Hemsworth's Thor is set to return once more in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder. After directing 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, Taika Waititi returns to the director's chair once more for the upcoming MCU entry, which is expected to release on July 8th.
After months of anticipation, the first Thor: Love and Thunder trailer was finally released yesterday, teasing the character's quest for peace and his continued partnership with the Guardians of the Galaxy. While the trailer didn't show any of Bale's villain, Gorr the God Butcher, official merchandise for the film has already provided a sneak peek at what the character will look like, with some expressing concern regarding changes to the villain's appearance. A Thor: Love and Thunder official synopsis film from Marvel also reveals the God Butcher's mission in the film, explaining that Gorr seeks the annihilation of all gods, a murderous quest that ultimately brings Hemsworth's Thor out of retirement.
