Christian Bale is in talks to join Thor: Love and Thunder

Oscar-winning actor and former Bruce Wayne-portrayer Christian Bale seems primed to cross comic book universes as he is in talks to join Chris Hemsworth in Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder, according to a Collider report.

The star of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy is no stranger to superhero films but this would be his first foray into comic book films since 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. His role is being kept under wraps and given that lovable villain turned good guy turned villain again, Loki (played by Tom Hiddleston), appears to be returning in some capacity, it’s difficult to speculate if Bale will be an ally or enemy to Thor.

Marvel did not comment on the report.

Taika Waititi is returning to direct the fourth film in the God of Thunder franchise after giving it a major tonal overhaul (and critical boost) with 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok. Likewise, Tessa Thompson will reprise her Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame role as Valkyrie, while Natalie Portman will reprise her role as Thor’s love interest, Jane Foster, for the first time since 2013’s Thor: The Dark World. She has indicated that she will also pick up the Thor mantle (or hammer) as a female version of the God of Thunder. Waititi will also continue to provide the voice of Korg, a fan-favorite gladiator who befriended Thor on the planet Sakaar.

Ragnarok grossed $853 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film in the series thus far. Love and Thunder, naturally, will attempt to outpace that and it’s certainly attracting the star power to do just that.

Bale was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture for Fox/Disney’s racing drama Ford v Ferrari, which has been a box office and critical hit. He has previously won a Best Actor Oscar for The Fighter and been nominated for American HustleThe Big Short, and Vice.

Of course, Bale would not be the first Oscar-winning actor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A whopping 17 Oscar winners have appeared in the MCU, including Portman, Anthony Hopkins, and Cate Blanchett in the Thor franchise.

Disney will release Thor: Love and Thunder on November 5, 2021.

Why wasn’t Mighty Thor bisexual in Marvel’s Love and Thunder?

Thor: Love and Thunder debuted to mixed reviews from critics and fans, continuing a trend of Marvel projects that feel a little disappointing. Taika Waititi's follow-up to his critically acclaimed Ragnarok feels less focused, louder, dumber, and a lot less charming. Chris Hemsworth is back as Thor, continuing the lovable idiot shtick he's been doing since Ghostbusters and selling the hell out of it. Waititi's Korg is also in it -- excessively in it, to be honest -- and Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie also gets in on the action. Newcomers Christian Bale and Russell Crowe steal the spotlight despite being criminally underused, confirming why they're two of the last surviving movie stars. The real attraction, however, is the return of Natalie Portman's Jane Foster, or at least it should be. So why isn't it?

Portman famously left the MCU following the disappointing Thor: The Dark World, a film so boring and inconsequential that most casual fans forget about its existence. She agreed to return after a meeting with Waititi promised her a new take on the character, a chance to be "adventurous, fun, and funny." However, the main change was superpowers, as Waititi chose to adapt the well-received Mighty Thor comic book storyline that sees Jane Foster take the Thor mantle and wield Mjolnir after Thor becomes unworthy. In short, Portman would finally play the hero, not the love interest.

With Thor: Love and Thunder, Natalie Portman is finally the superhero

Few actresses can say they started as child performers working with some of the very best talent and grew up to earn an Oscar and a Harvard degree while starring in the two most successful and influential franchises in film history. Then again, not every actress is Natalie Portman. Widely regarded as one of Hollywood's brightest actresses, Portman became a household name in her teens, successfully transitioning into adulthood and college life without falling into some of the pitfalls and traps of the business.

There's something about Portman that makes her unique among her peers, an unexpected yet somehow unsurprising maturity mixed with palpable and unabashed vulnerability, which became obvious from her first on-screen appearance in Luc Besson's action drama Léon: The Professional. Portman never chose the expected roles, actively pursuing projects that reflected her unique feminist stance, even as a young performer. The perfect combination between indie dramas and major blockbusters became the trademark of her early years, leading the way for the second stage of her career, which finds her front and center in every project, taking her place as one of Hollywood's most respected and bankable actresses.
Wise beyond her years

From Thor to Endgame: Every Chris Hemsworth Marvel performance, ranked
A collage of Thor throughout his time in the MCU.

Chris Hemsworth has been a member of the Marvel cinematic universe for more than a decade, and in that time, he’s played Thor in seven different movies. With the release of Thor: Love & Thunder, his Norse god will have earned more solo films than any other character in the MCU, and he’s easily among the more iconic characters in the entire universe.

Hemsworth’s performance in the role has evolved considerably since he first took on the mantle, though. As different writers and directors have experimented with what Hemsworth brings to the table, they’ve discovered that he has skills that were being underutilized, especially in his earliest entries into the MCU. Now, with Love & Thunder providing another look at Hemsworth’s Thor, it’s worth looking back at every performance he’s given inside of the MCU and trying to definitively rank them from the very best to the very worst.
