Marvel stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman are totally obsessed with Oscar winner Christian Bale’s terrifying turn as Gore the God Butcher in the latest MCU movie “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
In the film, Hemsworth returned as the titular superhero, a role he previously played in three singles and four “Avengers” films.

Hemsworth said he liked how Bell brought different layers to the character with his performance.
“There’s so much drama and craziness around Gore, but Christian Bale manages to grab attention in every moment. You can’t take your eyes off him. The character is charming because, like all good villains, Gore has a point.
The Australian star said in a statement, “He may not be going about it the right way, but there is empathy in the script and Christian has given the gore more layers and so much more depth.”
Portman, who is returning as Jane Foster from 2011’s “Thor” and 2013’s “Thor: The Dark World”, admitted that she was “scared” by Bell’s appearance as Gore on the film’s set. .
“We were all actually a little intimidated by Gore’s presence,” said the actor, who will play The Mighty Thor, the female avatar of the superhero in the film.
Actress Tessa Thompson, who reprises her MCU role of Valkyrie, found Bale as Gore “charming”. “He does what Marvel villains do so well, which is that you see his villainy comes from pain, from some unprocessed trauma,” she said.
Filmmaker Taika Waititi said Bell’s gory takes things up a notch from Cate Blanchett’s hella in 2017’s “Thor: Ragnarok.”
“We needed to step down from hell and find a villain that was somehow even more terrifying and we found that in Gore, who is played by the remarkable Christian Bale,” the director said.
Produced by Marvel Studios led by Kevin Feige, “Thor: Love and Thunder” will make its Indian cinema debut on July 7. It will release in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
