O segundo trailer de Thor: Love and Thunder finalmente chegou e, embora haja muita emoção em torno do retorno do God of Thunder de Chris Hemsworth e Natalie Portman como Mighty Thor, grande parte da conversa em torno da nova filmagem está no papel de vilão de Christian Bale. como Gorr, o Carniceiro de Deus.
Após os eventos de Vingadores: Ultimato de 2019 , Thor: Amor e Trovão vê o retorno do Deus do Trovão de Hemsworth, pois ele está em busca de paz interior e sua verdadeira identidade desta vez. Mas quando um novo inimigo surge, Thor é forçado a recrutar muitos aliados para evitar que a ameaça galáctica elimine todos os deuses.
After starring as the iconic Batman in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy , Bale is now playing the main antagonist, Gorr the God Butcher, a tormented being whose hatred towards gods has led him to face Thor. In the comics, Gorr comes from a nameless planet where lack of water, risk of starvation, earthquakes and other dangers are all very common. Yet, Gorr remains hopeful that the Gods will help his people. After losing his parents at a young age as well as his own family when he is older, Gorr is left to fend for himself, enduring much suffering as a result. While many fans at first were underwhelmed when merchandise revealed Gorr’s new live-action design, one that is very different from the original design presented in the comics, the new trailer quickly won many of them back, as it appears Bale will deliver one terrifying performance. Many of those fans took to social media to share their reactions.
I honestly had ZERO interest in this movie. Now I may see it due to the LEGEND Christian Bale. https://t.co/bvYpQ43oit

To keep the excitement level high, director Taika Waititi recently shared that he believes Bale as Gorr will be one of the best villains the MCU has ever seen. Aside from his comments, it is no surprise that Bale was able to cook up something truly special, as the Academy Award-winning actor is described as one of the best in the industry today. Bringing a talent like that into the MCU, one who also has experience working on comic book films alongside some of the best portrayals of comic book characters (Heath Ledger’s Joker), there’s no limit to what Bale can achieve with this character.
Approaching its big theatrical release, fans can expect to see more brief shots of Bale’s Gorr in either another trailer or TV spots. Other than following Gorr on his mission of eliminating all gods in the universe, the film will also explore more of Valkyrie’s (Tessa Thompson) rule as the new king and showcase Portman’s Jane Foster (the astrophysicist and ex-lover of Thor who is making her first return since Thor: The Dark World ) taking up the mantle of the God of Thunder. The Guardians of the Galaxy group will also play a smaller role.
Thor: Love and Thunder will arrive in theatres on July 8, 2022.
