10 Major New MCU Phase 4 Rumours You Need To Know
7. Christian Bale Could Be An "Intergalactic Villain" In Thor: Love And Thunder
The signs are all pointing to The Dark Knight star Christian Bale making the leap to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to join the Thor franchise with Taika Waititi's Love and Thunder. The actor is now said to be in final talks for a mystery role but who exactly will he end up playing?
Comic book fans have suggested characters like Beta Ray Bill and Dario Agger but The Illuminerdi claims to have seen definitive proof that Marvel Studios wants him to play an unnamed "intergalactic villain." That leaves a long list of possibilities, including bad guys like Gorr the God Butcher, the Mangog, and, thanks to the Disney/Fox merger, even Fantastic Four foe Galactus.
No one could have imagined Jeff Goldblum playing The Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok, so Waititi will almost certainly surprise us. After watching Bale protect Gotham City as Batman, seeing the talented British actor chew the scenery as a ferocious, space-faring villain will be a huge amount of fun.
