Christian Bale discusses his willingness to take on a different character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after portraying Gorr in Thor: Love and Thunder. Thor: Love and Thunder, the second-to-last Marvel film to be released in Phase 4, generally received favorable reviews from reviewers and viewers, with an appreciation for Bale’s villain in particular. Soon after Avengers: Endgame, the film begins with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) still trying to figure out where he fits. To vanquish Gorr the God Butcher, the Norse-inspired hero is ultimately compelled to cooperate with Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster and Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie.

After receiving positive feedback for his portrayal of Gorr in Thor: Love and Thunder, Bale now discusses whether he’d return to the MCU to play any other roles. Gorr may have passed away after the movie, but according to a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Bale is willing to portray a different character if the part is right. When asked if he would be interested in making a return to the MCU, Bale responded in full as follows:

“A good story is a good story. A good character or a good director, you know, if it’s an interesting thing. Crucially, if my kids say I’m not allowed to say no to something.”

What Roles Could Christian Bale Have In The MCU?

Gorr’s distinctive appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder may be very smooth if Bale returned to the MCU looking more like him. Watching the former Batman actor take on a more heroic role after playing such a dark antagonist would be intriguing. Since Marvel Comics has existed for more than 80 years in some capacity, there are a variety of characters that Bale may play. Although the actor has already displayed his humorous side, he normally appears drawn to slightly more serious roles, so Sentry, who is practically Marvel’s Superman, would be a nice fit.

In the MCU, a few villains have yet to appear on a large screen. In 2025, when Marvel’s Fantastic Four is set to hit theatres, Doctor Doom may finally make his debut. Bale would make a terrific Doctor Doom because of his commanding presence on film, albeit the character’s degree of power could necessitate more than one on-screen visit. Bale may make a comeback as one of Marvel’s numerous anti-heroes like Ghost Rider or Solo, a highly skilled mercenary, rather than a straight hero or direct antagonist.

After his part in Thor: Love and Thunder, it is unknown if Bale will truly return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the actor seems to be open to the notion. As one of the best elements of Waititi’s most recent MCU project, Gorr the God Butcher, Bale’s return to the franchise in a different character would probably not be received with much resistance from fans. Although it doesn’t sound like anything is planned at the moment, given Marvel’s extensive library of heroes, villains, and everyone in between, it’s likely that another collaboration will materialize in the future.
