It seems that Christian Bale may be about to make the jump from the DC Universe to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Deadline reporting that the former Batman star is in talks to join Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder.
The sequel will reunite Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi with stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie), while Natalie Portman also reprises her role from Thor and Thor: The Dark World as Jane Foster (who, as we’ll see in Love and Thunder, will be assuming the mantle of Mighty Thor). Waititi will also be back as the fan-favourite Korg.
As yet, there’s no word on a possible character for Bale, who was last seen portraying racing driver Ken Miles in Ford v. Ferrari, although one would suspect it the role is likely that of the film’s villain.
