Thor: Love & Thunder Concept Art Shows Alternate Early Gorr Design
New Thor: Love and Thunder concept art reveals an alternate design for Gorr the God Butcher before Christian Bale was cast. Director Taika Waititi reunited with Chris Hemsworth in the post-Infinity Saga MCU movie. Unlike Thor: Ragnarok, which was a smash critical and commercial hit, Thor: Love and Thunder has proved more divisive, with both audiences and critics having a wide array of opinions on the creative decisions made by Waititi and his team.
Despite some mixed reviews for certain elements of Thor: Love and Thunder, one thing that was unanimously praised was Bale's take on its villain, Gorr the God Butcher. Motivated by a personal tragedy, Gorr hunts down all gods in an effort to extinguish them. His murderous path causes him to encounter Thor, Jane Foster's Mighty Thor (Natalie Portman), and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson). As with his other movie roles, Bale delivered a lauded performance as the new MCU character, with Marvel Studios largely sticking to the bad guy's original arc in the comics. Waititi, however, took some liberties when it comes to Gorr's appearance in live-action.
