10 Movies That Changed Other Movies

10. Harry Potter Forced Thor: Love & Thunder To Change Gorr's Design

If you're a fan of the Thor comics and thought that the depiction of Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) in the recent Thor: Love and Thunder deviated too far from the source material, there is actually a reason for that.

During pre-production on the superhero sequel, filmmaker Taika Waititi realised that Gorr's original design in the comics - namely a flat nose, angular teeth, pale skin, and beady, sunken-in eyes - was incredibly similar to Lord Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes) appearance in the Harry Potter movies.

And so, Waititi made the decision to change many of these elements - namely giving Gorr his nose back and making his skin less pale - to avoid inevitable comparisons between the two villains. In an interview with IGN, Waititi said:

"His face in the comics, unfortunately, does kind of resemble Voldemort. So I was like, 'People are just automatically going to make that connection.' So we decided to depart from that design and sort of keep elements of the tone, and the fact that he had the sword. Really, it was his story that was the most important thing for us."
