Oscar winner Christian Bale is in talks to join Chris Hemsworth in Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder, Collider has exclusively learned.

Taika Waititi is returning to direct the sequel, which is gearing up to start production this summer. The follow-up to 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok is shaping up to be Bale’s first comic book movie since his final turn as Batman in 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. Marvel had no comment.


That’s a surprise

Isn't this the movie where Jane becomes "Mighty Thor?" Seeing that has severely hampered my level of excitement for this movie.

A star that big means he's the villain most likely....

Who's character is chewy enough for someone like Bale?

Ares?
Mephisto?
High Evolutionary?


Or they are going to introduce a really big bad in this one like Korvac, Kang, Hyperion, Anihilus, or Beyonder?

Or is he Beta Ray Bill?

Don't panic. Jane will wield the hammer for a scene and become Lady Thor, yes.

They are NOT going to make her the star of the franchise. Hemsworth is about as bookable as they come and he loves the role by all reports.

Bale tired of being fat and is getting Marvel to pay for him to get ripped again

no actor can ever be free from capeshit :(

I don't blame them, I bet the money is obscene, but still...


makes you wonder how Dicaprio and brad pitt have held out all this time. I bet them dudes have gotten some offers that would make my wallet cry.

bet you anything he gets that bradley cooper/raccon thing money i.e. show up to a sound studio in burbank and get a couple mil to do VO work

- no makeup

- no costume

- significantly less, "waiting around" time, which is like half of what happens on a lot or location anyways

- there's almost no challenge in it for someone as talented as Bale or Cooper

I hope so. Hemsworth is fantastic as Thor, and female Thor was not well-received in the comics. It makes no sense for them to even be discussing this for the MCU.

You don’t hire one of the top 5 actors going today for one of your blockbusters and park his arse behind a mic.

He’ll be on screen.
