Christian
Bale
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
debut
MCU
project
Thor:
Love
And
Thunder.
The
film
directed
by
Taika
Waititi
will
see
Bale
playing
the
villain
Gorr
the
God
Butcher.
the
Oscar-winning
actor
recently
revealed
that
he
had
no
idea
that
he
is
now
a
part
of
the
MCU
and
what
it
is.
Talking
about
the
anticipated
film,
Bale
told
TotalFilm
that
he
had
to
look
up
the
term
MCU.
He
said,
"That
didn't
even
enter
into
my
head
at
all.
I'd
read
that,
and
people
would
go,
'Oh,
look
at
this!
He's
entered
the
MCU!'
And
I'd
go,
'I've
done
what?
I
haven't
entered
s**t,
thank
you
very
much.'
I'm
like,
'The
MCU?'
I
had
to
ask
what
that
was."
He
also
revealed
that
he
had
on
idea
how
Gorr
the
God
Butcher
was
portrayed
in
the
comics
and
ended
up
searching
for
it
online.
Sharing
his
reaction
Bale
said,
"You
sort
of
go,
'I
know
what
he
does.'
It's
right
there
in
the
name,
isn't
it?
But
I
did
make
the
mistake
of
Googling
him
and,
oh
no!
[In
the
comics]
he
runs
around
in
a
G-string
all
the
time."
"And
I
thought,
'They
don't
have
the
right
man
for
that!'
And
then
Taika
(the
filmmaker)
quickly
dispelled
any
notions
of
running
around
in
that,"
he
added.
This
is
the
fourth
Thor
movie
after
Waititi's
last
successful
outing
with
Thor
Ragnarok.
The
film
