Thor: Love And Thunder - 9 Villains Christian Bale Could Play
7. Ymir
Next up, we have Ymir, the forefather - and most powerful - of the Frost Giants.
While it's unlikely we'll see an actor of Christian Bale's caliber playing a CGI character, it wouldn't be unheard of for the MCU. After all, they've got Bradley Cooper as a raccoon and James Spader as a snarky robot. Why not have Bale as an ice giant?
In Marvel Comics lore, Ymir -- whom you might remember from Marvel: Ultimate Alliance -- was one of the first Asgardian creatures to be created, and he went on to spawn the gods of Asgard. The Frost Giants -- including Loki -- count themselves as his progeny, and if the franchise wanted to circle back around to the singular inciting incident of the Thor franchise, Ymir would be the way to go.
If they choose to go this route, Ymir could represent a sort of reckoning for Thor. The thing that kicked off his journey from arrogance to humility was the attack on the Frost Giants, and for the granddaddy of the Frost Giants to come knocking all these years later, looking for revenge, would force Thor to come face-to-face with the person he once was, and the mistakes he once made.
