During the world premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder, Christian Bale was asked about being a part of the MCU, and what layer and depth did he bring to Gorr. The actor said, “It’s been a lot of bloody fun. I am in a very good company.”
About his character, Bale added, “His name is self-explanatory. And you know, he’s a butcher. But Taika, he’s a surprising gentleman. He is craz talented and he manages to have great irony and comedy. But it’s also very moving and that’s where the whole kind of nuances that you’re talking about come in the film.”

In Thor Love and Thunder trailer, Christian is unrecognisable as Gorr. When asked about how he managed to sit through hours for the make-up every day, he shared, “You got to go to a zen place. I’ve done it a few times in my career. I kind of didn’t realise I was going to do on this one actually. But the special effects make up artists, Adam Johansen, Colin and Emily they are as responsible as I am for creating this character.”
“I had a great time. They were wonderful characters and it was a nice little transition into weirdness of Gorr each and every morning,” added the actor. In the video, Bale talks about how he managed to play such a crazy villain, about a dance sequence and much more.
