A fun light piece by Esquire on Bale's casting: www.esquire.com/uk/culture/a31278034/christian-bale-thor-love-and-thunder-villain-marvel/"Christian Bale In 'Thor' Makes Sense. He Was Always Destined To Play A Comic Book Villain His Dick Cheney in 'Vice' was perfect prep for Taika Waititi's next Thor film By Tom Nicholson 09/03/2020 Of all the people you were expecting to turn up in the next Marvel film, Christian Bale would be some way down the list. And yet here he is: he's going to be the Big Bad in Taika Waititi's follow-up to Thor: Ragnarok. "Christian Bale is going to play our villain, which is going to be fantastic," Thor star Tessa Thompson told Entertainment Tonight. "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 is writing [and] directing. Some familiar faces. Some new people coming into the mix." Obviously Bale got in at the ground floor of the Golden Age of comic book films in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, but it still feels slightly mad that he's involved. He's got an Oscar, for one thing. He's a Proper Film Star. He's not Leo or Brad, but he's only a rung or so below them on the great Hollywood ladder. Granted, Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford, Michael Keaton, Ben Kingsley, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kurt Russell, Jeff Bridges and Mads Mikkelsen were all pretty good gets, but they also seem like a bit of a laugh if you catch them in the right mood. Bale just seems so far from being in any way bothered with Marvel. But that's a fundamental misreading of Bale. He's always been a vampy comic book villain. You might not have noticed, but he has. There's always been something of Alan Rickman's gleeful chewiness about his evil roles. Look at the Dick Cheney biopic Vice, for which he got an Oscar nom for Best Actor. Comically chubbed-up, like a malevolent Nutty Professor, his Cheney is as cruel, pompous, omnipotent and bombastic as Hans Gruber or the Sheriff of Nottingham. As much as Marvel has changed the business of films, its villains tend to be cut from the same cloth: aside from Thanos, Killmonger and Loki, they're an interchangeable mixture of common-or-garden megalomaniacs, spurned protegées and vengeful family members, and there's no reason to think Bale's going to change anything there. Waititi will presumably use his glowering intensity as a contrast with larks elsewhere like he did Cate Blanchett's willowy goth vibe in Thor: Ragnarok. In fact, it might end up accidentally legitimising Exodus: Gods and Kings, in which Bale first wandered around intensely glowering on a Biblical scale. It's one of Bale's great talents that he can make big characters with at least one noticeably peculiar quirk – Michael Burry in The Big Short and his glass eye, American Hustle's Irving Rosenfeld and his dodgy combover, Ken Miles' slippery Brummish accent and jutting chin in Ford Vs Ferrari – feel like they could actually exist in the world. This might well be the first time he'll be able to cut loose and devour the scenery whole, though. It might feel like a surprise, but Bale's been winding himself for something like this for years.

Apparently Bale is already filming Thor
Translation for those who do not understand Spanish:
Christian Bale has already started shooting as Gorr. According to my source, the actor asked Marvel to use very little CGI or NOTHING with his character, so Gorr's appearance will be mostly with makeup.

it's nice to hear this from taika. i'd love to see him and bale become regular collaborators going forwards. maybe they could reunite for that star wars film taika is meant to be directing.
the teaser trailer for thor 4 dropped recently. unfortunately no bale yet. the best look we've gotten of his character is the art work on a toy box but considering that the movie is getting released just a little over two months from now we're bound to get an official reveal sooner rather than later.

This detailed discussion on that Taika's "best villain yet" comment by John Campea's team is great. They analyse things in detail and they have the benefit of having actually seen some NDA footage of Bale as Gorr. Worth a listen.

Couple of quotes from Chris Hemsworth & Tessa Thompson on working Bale.
Hemsworth: The rest of us would be in our world of improvisation, comedy, and fun - then he’d walk on set, and we’d all look at each other and say ‘Oh, my God! This is really intense. This is really scary.''
Thompson: (Bale) toed this really great line, because he needs to be terrifying, but he also needs to work in the context of our colorful, snappy, irreverent world

"Chris Hemsworth Calls Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher One Of His Favorite Marvel Villains And that's after going up against Josh Brolin's Thanos." www.ign.com/articles/christian-bales-gorr-the-god-butcher-one-of-chris-hemsworths-favorite-marvel-villains?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter"Thor: Love and Thunder star Chris Hemsworth likes the film’s villain. A lot. During an interview with IGN, the 38-year-old Marvel star gushed over Christian Bale’s performance as Gorr the God Butcher in the upcoming Thor sequel. So, what makes it so special? “Everything you'd imagine [Christian Bale] would bring to it,” he said. “Nuance and complexity and truth, levity. He's one of my favorite actors working, and I was so excited he agreed to jump on board here. What's he's done is that he's definitely one of my favorite villains in the Marvel universe.” "He's hugely intimidating and destructive, but the right amount of heart and truth there and relatable pain that we can attune to or understand ourselves,” said Hemsworth. “So, it makes it all the more complex when you're trying to figure out what everyone's motivations are.""
