To note, the actor will portray the role of Gorr - the God Butcher in the film, which is slated for a 2022 release.
The look
Bale seems to be staying true to the comics

The character
Gorr's mission is to find and destroy all gods
The Academy Award-winning actor will be playing Thor's nemesis in the film.
His character Gorr lost his faith and belief in god after most of his loved ones died for various reasons and not a single god answered him back.
After an intensive search, he finds a few and makes it his mission to kill each and every single god from the entire universe.
Batman
Bale has played another big comic-book character in the past
Interestingly, this is not the first time Bale has turned to comic books for roles.
He played the critically acclaimed and fan-favorite Batman in three Christopher Nolan films - Batman Begins in 2005, The Dark Knight in 2008, and The Dark Knight Rises in 2012.
The Dark Knight trilogy was a success and grossed an estimated $2.4 billion at the box office worldwide.
Method actor
Bale is sure to shine in the next Thor film
Bale is well-known for his ability to dig deep into a character. He believes in gritty method acting, going to scary length sometimes.
The six-feet tall actor weighed a paltry 40 kg in The Machinist, whereas he ate pies every day when he played former Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice.
We can't wait to see what Bale brings to his character this time!
