29 Brand New Characters Coming To MCU Phase 4
17. Gorr The God Butcher - Thor: Love And Thunder
Of all the names joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the next few years, Christian Bale is possibly the biggest, and most exciting. Rumours started swirling that he could be playing the likes of Beta Ray Bill or Dario Agger, but it will in fact be Gorr the God Butcher that the former Dark Knight will bring to life.
After facing both his siblings and Malekith the Dark Elf, Thor will without a doubt face his toughest rival in Love and Thunder. You don't earn a name like the God Butcher without butchering a few Gods, and Thor appears to be next on Gorr's list.
Born into poverty, the character was brought up to trust in the Gods, but much like Thor, everyone he loved ultimately died. His parents, his partner, and his children all passed away, forcing Gorr to re-evaluate his faith, and take his anger out on the Gods themselves.
Not only has the God Butcher tortured and almost killed Thor in the comics, he has time travelled to the creation of the universe to kill Gods, and forward thousands of years to enslave the Gods and rule over a desolate and defeated world. As far as MCU villains go, there is definite potential for Gorr to take his place among the best of them.
