Christian Bale is no slouch when it comes to acting, and is known for his dedication to thoroughly embodying each role he takes on, even if it isn't in the superhero genre.He has the background and talent to bring that kind of performance to any job he accepts, having won an Oscar for his performance in 2010's The Fighter, which he shares with Taika Waititi and Natalie Portman.

Gorr the God Butcher, on his alone, has the potential to be one of Marvel's most horrifying and captivating villains yet, because to his past with Marvel's Gods, which are likely to receive a lot of attention this year. This will allow Bale to explore the emotional side of a character who is already incredibly powerful as Marvel's first true symbiote, and given the actor's well-known cinematic career, Waititi expects an iconic performance from him.
