Thor: Christian Bale on GORR Transformation and If He’ll Do More Marvel
Ойын-сауық
Christian Bale is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the villain Gorr the God Butcher in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder.’ In a new interview with ‘Extra’s’ Jenn Lahmers, he speaks about the process of transforming into Gorr and how his version differs from the comic book character. Christian also addresses those headlines about him not knowing what the MCU was. Plus, does Christian want to do more with Marvel? ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ is in theaters July 8.

'I'm grateful and stunned that people hire me.' Bale is one of those actors whose performances you never miss, and who would make you dip into a genre just because he's in it.

I thought that was a method moment, like yes he did do that but some of the stories about method actors staying in character even after the director has yelled cut are mad but I do believe he was being method in that moment coz he used an American accent in that whole rant and he doesn’t have one away from set he has a British accent but I could be wrong either way still a good bloke, like the worst thing anyone can say about him is he had an angry rant at someone on set then I think that’s pretty good considering what some of his Hollywood colleagues are up to.

I don't even wanna spoil the premise, it's so much better if you don't know what you're in for, because there was a mystery element in the beginning, but Tatiana Maslany showed a lot of range in that show, both dramatically and comedically. If you're asking who She-Hulk is, she was basically Deadpool before Deadpool. Very entertaining character who's often a way for Marvel to make fun of Marvel. She's Bruce Banner's cousin, a lawyer who gets part of his power from an emergency blood transfusion, but is a very different character. And she'll be played by Maslany in the MCU.

@Kehwanna

I think he was able to be redeemed because All Black broke and by the time he was at Eternity he was just bitter about losing his daughter along with the whole village he's from. That's probably why it was easier to talk him out of killing all the gods, because All Black was no longer corrupting him and using his anguish to control him.
Such a fine actor , he can do any role and that is only for some few. He was the best batman ever, such an amazing performance. I am looking forward to see Gor.

Crashing your comment to give my fave Bale pic. Out of the Furnace is really under appreciated. He shows a level of vulnerability and connection to other characters in that one that blew me away. Solid performance and supporting cast. BTW he shares some pivotal screen time with “Gomorrah” in that picture. There’s a scene between them that just guts you Smdh. I have to say that Equilibrium holds a special place on my Bale shelf as well because of his performance (apart from the movie which I actually didn’t mind). Also because it was only the second movie of his I had seen at the time. He portrays the internal conflict of his characters really well. He is a master of nuanced performance. This comment assumed we’re leaving out the Dark Knight trilogy as a given for fave 😊. Cheers!

@@nikkinewbie6014 Felt 'Out of the furnace' was incredible. As always Bale manages to convey many layers of emotions without seeming to try too hard, that's his strength. The way his character Russell undergoes loss, losing everything that was dear to him, is heartbreaking. It's impossible to finish viewing the film dry-eyed.

I actually like this take on Gorr than the original comic book. This version plays on theme of anti-thesis on gods. He looks like a killer priest rather than an alien infused with All Black. I also like the fact that All Black makes him stronger in this film. I'm hoping they introduce Knull as the end villian like they did Thanos!

Is that a quote from one of his characters? Like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho?? If not, I wonder what’s making you say that? He seems very laid back to me actually almost exhausted really. The press tours and interviews have to be a drain and especially for Marvel movies. But he’s smiling and making jokes and being self-deprecating…seems genuine but again looks physically tired. I believe he’s shooting another project too. The man stays busy.

That would have been great before showing him in the Thor franchise. They could have at least made it a two part movie to flesh Gorr out more. A lot of us feel like he barely got enough screen time, plus his character in the comics was much much stronger than the way the movie portrayed him. We didn't get to see him live up to his name as The God Butcher as he only killed a bunch of gods off screen.

Wow he came in to film towards the end.. I wonder how much screen time he actually has ?
Bale is a great actor l am going to the cinema with my mum to watch it l am going to the cinema with my mum to watch the new thor love and thunder l can not wait 🎦
Random: is there a record in Hollywood for one actor to have played real people in their careers? Because if there is, he should probably be the record holder or closing in on it. I count seven - four of them actually still living. Second random, I don’t know how many scenes he will share with various co-stars but he’s been in other movies with four other people in this movie. Would have been five if Gomorrah was in this one and six if Black Widow had been in it. He shows up a lot if you start playing Six Degrees of Separation.
Christian Bales villain performance as Gorr The God Butcher was impressive and he stole the show in Thor Love and Thunder. I was blown away by his impressive performance.

I want to see an interview where someone asks Bale why he decided to return to comic book movies after saying he was never planning to go back. Was it for money?
