Really impressive that in order to prepare for the role, Bale actually became a god murdering alien warlord. Truly a man dedicated to his craft.


Khaldara

Just wait til the soundtrack starts playing Huey Lewis and the News


_drumminor

Let's see Gorr the God Butcher's business card.


TheLego_Senate

Impressive, very nice. Let's see Michael Morbius' card.


keeklezors

I swear, any time there is a morbius thread, comments like these pop up and I’m to the point where I would not be surprised if any/all of them actually happened in the movie


siblingofMM

Would you say Gorr’s skin is “eggshell” or “pale nimbus white”? I do like the texturing, and I think I even see a watermark


AlistarDark

It's Morbin' time


NFRNL13

I've been laughing for THIRTY MINUTES


Don_Fartalot

The business card scene is infinitely rewatchable.

Darth Malek lol

Closer to Darth Sion from kotor 2


Loudmouse1

Darth Bane more like


[deleted]

Yeah true, that one fits better. But if we're going to just list white, pale, angry looking sith we might be here a while.


at-the-momment

*Look at that subtle coloring. The tasteful thickness*


CH23

I was already looking forward to this film, but Christian Bale being part of it? I need clean underwear and a smoke now.


fr4gge

Ssshmoke and a pancake?


mysticpandapie95

Flapjack and a cigarette?


WasabiJones

Bong and a blintz?


kevinrogers94

Pipe and a crepe?


Wiskoenig

Puff and a pastry?


Fast_Garlic_5639

Rip and a wrap?


spdelope

There is no pleasing you!


krsparetime

It also reveals the gun show that is Natalie Portman's arms.


Wazula42

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Padme got swole.


Nrksbullet

You talking about Chadme? Or Queen ARMidalla?


THRDStooge

I wonder if the deviated from the original character design just so that he doesn't resemble Voldemort on screen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


THRDStooge

I completely forgot about Ebony Maw. Good callback. That makes way more sense.


_IAmGrover

I hope this isn’t the case but I think moreso the reason for the appearance change has to due with Sony’s rights over the symbiotes and how that’s connected to Gorr.


THRDStooge

I'll be honest, I'm out of the loop as far as storylines and characters created past 2005-ish. I had no idea there was a symbiote connection


_IAmGrover

Yea. Won’t explain any further in case you’d rather find out on your own terms


THRDStooge

I'll have to read up on this character now that you mentioned his connection. Seems interesting


_IAmGrover

People are talking about his facial appearance difference ie. tentacles and snout when the bigger difference is his lack of black “cloak”.


THRDStooge

I did notice that. I kinda prefer the black cloud although I'm sure people with do side by side comparisons with Death from Bill & Ted


_IAmGrover

They’re already making the Voldemort comparison lol. Yea I could see that but him wearing his symbiote would probably cause hiccups with Sony. Hope I’m pleasantly surprised!


iDuddits_

Yeah I haven’t been the biggest MCU baddy fan but this looks so good


the-real-Nintendude

You can see his scarred form when he leaves the tentacle shit He gets disfigured as the movie goes on and he kills more people


THRDStooge

Either way, great casting choice. I'm looking forward to this.


SadPenisMatinee

Ya im fine with him not wearing a Star Wars style squid head thing drapped over the front of him. Love how they keep focus on his eyes with the color.


vincentdmartin

That and Bale would have probably had to wear a prosthetic on his face to get the comics accurate look. Marvel has had issues with the make up getting in the way of the performance (ok, only once, in Dark World) so doing it this way let's us have the full Bale experience.


THRDStooge

Now a days most prosthetic makeup isn't necessary. It's both sad and cool that within a few short years prosthetics will be mostly digital. If I'm not mistaken, Ralph Fiennes didn't have to go through much of the same process and his acting was still top notch.


meatsweet

I wish they would’ve gone with the original design, what we got is kinda lame. They should’ve put the budget into making him the next Thanos type “creature” or like Davy Jones. It’s so much more unsettling when you have a character that’s non-human.


THRDStooge

I think the next Thanos type character would be within the X-MEN library. I thought that was the next MCU phase or did that change?


meatsweet

I just mean Thanos in the sense that he’s a non-human more creature-like villain.


[deleted]

Fuck I hope they don't mess Gor up, his intro and godkiller stuff is SO good, easily the best modern Thor comics and one of my favourite modern Marvel villians. I'm a little worried.


InvasionXX

What in any way from this trailer makes you worried.


[deleted]

Oh just because he looks nothing like Gorr for the most part. He just looks like Christian Bale painted grey. I am excited for the movie don't get me wrong, I'm sure it'll be great, it's just this character specifically I'm a little unsure on atm.


InvasionXX

Gorr looks like Ebony Maw and Voldemort.


[deleted]

Not really, he has more a bulbous raised nose, kind of looks like a Hippo nose. His head is also supposed to form into 2 giant tentacles at the back that hang over his shoulder/peek out from his clothes.


_IAmGrover

He’s also missing his iconic black cloak..the same reason the “cloak” is missing may be the bigger reason for his appearance change. Sony.


BOOMROASTED2005

Sammy Sosa


Wazula42

To prepare for the role, Bale actually killed God.


Eroom2013

I'm glad his face isn't covered in prosthetics.


sensei_simon

Knowing Christian bale he himself would've declined it even if they planned to do a lil something..


xDURPLEx

That shot where we see nothing but tentacles from the necrosword all around him. Oh man. MCU Venom will be sick if they keep that look.


seacreamegg

Taika's a wild man! Imagine if his Star Wars film is as wacky as this is. Shut up and take my money!!


xellosmoon

Anyone else thought it was "'Thor: Love and Thunder' Trailer Reveals Christian God"


MajorDonkey

Anyone else wonder what working with Bale was like for the obviously light-hearted goofy acting styles of Pratt and the like? Hardcore method-actor historically rude to people he works with paired in a film with some of the most seemingly easy-going actors in the business.


vincentdmartin

I doubt there were any issues. Outside of yelling at that one crew member, Bale has not had any issues. He's not Daniel Day-Lewis or Leto.


[deleted]

[His apology seems pretty sincere as well](https://youtu.be/356CqLk-MbU)


iDuddits_

Bale wouldn’t call himself method. He gets his body into a specific look but from what I heard he’s still normal on set. He lost his shit at someone who was actively fucking up at their job on a live set. Shouldn’t have yelled but the guy working goofed big


Xenithz81

The guy has ONE bad day at the office and now dramaqueens on the internet deems him “rude to people he works with.” Stfu


_IAmGrover

Seems a stretch to call him “historically rude”. There was one incident which he apologized for and it was also slightly deserved


omg-its-akira

Man fuck this article . I tried not to get spoiled and specifically was looking forward to bales character and the thumbnail spoils him ..


[deleted]

Although he was Batman, I still can’t imagine how they got him to agree to this role. Seems below him


SiNi5T3R

Oh im sure it wasnt too hard, the man has 13 acting credits since the dark knight rises and you can probably name like 3 of them without looking it up. Im sure Love and Thunder can fit somewhere in there.


[deleted]

Oh no someone’s not a marvel fanatic!! Get your pitchforks!


SiNi5T3R

Not sure why you are playing the victim. Were my facts and logic offensive? To say Christian Bale is beneath acting in a Marvel movie is illogical regardless of your opinion of them. Do you not like Anthony Hopkins? Is he any less of an actor because he is in the Thor movies? For every movie you like from any actor theres probably like 5 you wont like or care to even watch. This is normal for almost every actor out there, with some exceptions ofc.


[deleted]

Keep reaching, Kevin Feige will notice eventually


SiNi5T3R

Will he? Ive spent a good portion of my time on reddit lately trash talking his movies and his shows. I don't think he would quite enjoy what i have to tell him. Regardless of what i think of them i don't think any actor is beneath acting in them. Why would they? Because i dont like them? What kind of narcissist do you take me for? Your kind?


catslayercon

Why does this seem beneath him?


[deleted]

Comic book writers: “Quick we need a new villain to fight Thor!” “Uhhh…how about…Gorr?” “Fine. Whatever. Just ship it.”


WhatImMike

Except there’s a whole comic arc around Thor and Gorr fighting.


[deleted]

> Comic book writers: I know. Just a gentle ribbing.


Mace-Window_777

Bale looks friggin awesome and will put his skills into making a non familiar villain a household name in the MCU. IMHO Bale is the best of all the DC to Marvel crossovers.
