You may recall the rumours a number of weeks ago that Batman Begins star Christian Bale was set to play the villain in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder?
Well, we can now confirm that Bale is indeed set to menace Thor and co in Taika Waititi’s upcoming fourth Thor movie.
Valkyrie star Tessa Thompson in a new interview has confirmed that Bale is joining the MCU: “Christian Bale is going to play our villain, which is going to be fantastic,” she says.
“I’ve read the script. I can’t tell you much. Lots of exciting text messages exchanged between Natalie [Portman] and I. We’re going to have fun. Taika [Waititi] is writing [and] directing. Some familiar faces. Some new people coming into the mix.”
This is pretty exciting news as Bale likes to bring a gravitas to his performances and, as the Dark Knight trilogy showed, he’s not afraid to take comicbook movies seriously.
On her own character, Valkrie, making her first appearance since Avengers: Endgame, Thompson had this to say: “She’s king [and] If she can’t find her queen, she’ll just be king and queen at the same time.”
Em, what?
Anyway, Thor: Love and Thunder arrives on November 5th, 2021 and will see Chris Hemsworth return to the title role along with Natalie Portman as Jane Foster.
I want to hear your thoughts, gang…
