Christian Bale, who plays the main antagonist, Gorr the God Butcher, is receiving a lot of audience appreciation. Speaking about Christian Bale joining the cast, Chris Hemsworth said in a statement, “There’s so much drama and insanity around Gorr, but Christian Bale managed to pull the focus right into each moment. You can’t take your eyes off him. The character is fascinating because like all good villains, Gorr has a point.
“He may not be going about it the right way, but there’s empathy in the script and Christian brought so many more layers and so much more depth to Gorr,” the Australian star added.
