Thor: Love And Thunder Director Taika Waititi Says Christian Bale's Gorr Is Marvel's Best Villain Yet
The release of Thor: Love and Thunder, the fourth installment of the franchise about the hammer-wielding God of Thunder, is a little over a month away. Along withDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Love and Thunder is one of the most anticipated movies of the year —and adding to the ever-growing hype is director Taika Waititi, who teased that the upcoming project will feature «the best villain» in Marvel history.
Thor: Love and Thunder, which debuts theatrically in July, takes place after the events ofAvengers: Endgame. The film will see Thor (Chris Hemsworth) team up with The Mighty Thor (a.k.a. Jane Foster) and the Guardians of the Galaxy to stop Gorr the God Butcher from eliminating all gods. Gorr will be played by Christian Bale, who will be making his MCU debut and become one of the few actors to appear in both Marvel and DC films.

In a recent interview with AP News, Waititi discussed the premise of Thor: Love and Thunder and shared his excitement about having the Oscar winner portray the antagonist. «It’s a great, really fun, weird little group of heroes, a new team for Thor with Korg, Valkyrie, and The Mighty Thor,» he said. «And, in my humble opinion, we have probably the best villain that Marvel’s ever had in Christian Bale.»
Waititi also explained that the film will follow Thor as he suffers a «midlife crisis» and struggles to find his identity. The director told AP News that Thor «is just trying to figure out his purpose, trying to figure out exactly who he is and why he’s a hero or whether he should be a hero.» Evidence of the journey was seen in Thor: Love and Thunder trailer that was released last month after much anticipation.
