Speaking of updates: Edited June 21, 2022 by The Natural
The Natural Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 First interview Christian Bale's given about playing Gorr the God Butcher. Thing I'm most looking forward to about Thor: Love and Thunder then seeing The Mighty Thor in live action from Jason Aaron's Thor run. Great run, particularly Thor: Goddess of Thunder.
Curt McGirt Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 Big Dave walking by in the background at the end cracked me up. Can we please have a moratorium on using "Sweet Child 'O Mine" for anything ever again? Including radio play? 2
John from Cincinnati Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 If the use of Immigrant Song in the Ragnarok marketing is anything to go by, expect to be hearing some G&R in the movie itself. 1 1
The Natural Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 Christian Bale behind the scenes of Thor: Love and Thunder.

And I'm probably the biggest GnR fan on this board (my kid's middle name is Axl) and I could do without ever hearing it on the radio again. Edited June 25, 2022 by cwoy2j 1
(BP) Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 They said it couldn’t be done, but Christian Bale has transformed himself into an Easter Island head statue for the Night at the Museum reboot. Truly one of the greats. 1 2

Truly one of the greats. On the real, Christian Bale is a fucking maniac. I have to salute his willingness to go all Lon Chaney Sr. when it comes to physically transforming his body to meet the specifications of a role. He weighed like five ounces when he was the lead in The Machinist and then packed on pounds of solid muscle in a matter of weeks for Batman Begins. The things he has probably done to himself to prepare himself to play Gorr are probably the stuff of nightmares and self-torture. I await the collective HOW COULD YOU~?? when Bale makes himself a solid addition to the MCU after Gorr The God Butcher steals every scene in this movie from Thor and Korg and that will be no small feat. I think the silent MVP of this movie might end up being Russell Crowe as Zeus. Edited June 27, 2022 by J.T. 2
Curt McGirt Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Wait he went from The Machinist DIRECTLY to BATMAN?! How is that even possible? Are there two Christian Bales and we just don't know it? 2 1

I don't like people so I haven't been to a movie on the weekend in, like, a decade, but this comes out on my wife's birthday so we're going opening night. 1

Straight from The Machinist to Batman Begins. People called Christian Bale Fatman on set as he was too big so had to drop some pounds. 1
J.T. Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Ha! Gorr does indeed have some sort of Speedo thing going on. 1
Casey Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Variety is reporting that Lena Headey was cut from the movie. And apparently the following two people were cut from the movie too. Spoiler Peter Dinklage and Jeff Goldblum Lena was rumored to be cast as a former Valkyrie. 1
TheVileOne Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Saw it last night. Enjoyed it for the most part. It's entertaining. Visually, I really like how Taika Waititi stages and frames everything with the rock/heavy metal style, and shots that look like they've been ripped out of comic panels when you have characters soaring through the sky. At times, I found it a bit too flippant. It plays really fast and loose with its own rules. A lot of glorified plot devices. Natalie Portman did well as Mighty Thor. The way they revisited Jane and Thor was well done. I think Christian Bale's Gorr feels a bit undercooked. Actually a serious, no-nonsense and tragic character, but it feels like the character isn't fully formed and Bale didn't fully work out what he was trying to do with the character.

odessasteps Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Too flippant can prob describe most Marvel movies,esp in the Watiti/Gunn subsection. 1

When the 2022 Marvel Studios schedule came out, this was always the one I wanted to see the most as a fan of Christian Bale, Taika Waititi and Jason Aaron's Thor run.

This was what I was worried about when they announced Gorr as the villain. He really isn't a one and done kind of villain with his backstory and purpose. 1
