Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher is being compared to both Heath Ledger's Joker and Danny DeVito's Penguin in Taikia Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder.

Thankfully, Thor: Love and Thunder sounds like it could actually be the thing to, if not propel us forward, at least throw us back to the glory days of 2017-2019. Sure, the MCU-adjacent Spider-Man: No Way Home blew everyone away just seven months ago, and yes, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness made shy of $900m last month. It sounds weird to say this in the year of our Lord 2022, but – the MCU needs a shot in the arm.

Natalie Portman, who is returning to the Thor franchise, this time as The Mighty Thor, received plenty of plaudits.

Hale went on to praise Portman's performance in the film as "exceptional". Dr. Jane Foster is more than worthy of being the Mighty Thor." It's also very funny (Natalie's got jokes) and features one of the most stunning visual sequences in MCU history." Natalie Portman makes a mighty return & Christian Bale slays it as the terrifying Gorr. The best Thor film yet!" Together, they set out on a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher's vengeance. Thor: Love and Thunder sees Thor embarks on a journey unlike anything he's ever faced -- a quest for inner peace.

That said, it's safe to assume that Waititi earned Hemsworth's trust when it comes to showing off his behind in the movie, and it looks like it all went perfectly based on their hilarious banter. "It was a lot of work to get ready. It was 10 years in the making, that scene — kind of a dream of mine. While Hemsworth first quipped that it was "a contractual obligation" that made him return to do Thor 4, Waititi hilariously crashed the interview. The scene in question is Hemsworth's bare-ass scene that was featured in Thor 4's official trailer. In a Marvel film, it was on a very large screen.

Taika Waititi's newest MCU offering had its world premiere on June 23 in Hollywood.

However, some critics had gripes with the overall tone of the Marvel universe less so than with Waititi’s film. “Christian Bale is phenomenally menacing as #ThorLoveandThunder’s villain, Gorr the God Butcher,” Insider correspondent Kirsten Acuna writes. After the soaring critical success of Waititi’s last Marvel offering, Thor: Ragnarok, expectations for the new film were substantially high.

An official Thor recap video fails to mention or show the God of Mischief, Loki.

Thor was no part of Loki besides mentions, memories, and a frog in a jar. Along with that, he could be trying to put Loki in his past and move forward with Natalie Portman's Jane Foster/Mighty Thor and Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie. After causing a Sacred Timeline breach in Avengers: Endgame, the 2012 version of the God of Mischief went on a wild ride in the original Disney+ series Loki. During one of Disney's most popular streaming series, Loki was able to escape the concept of time and space, see his life end, and reconstruct how he views reality.

Might be my second favorite MCU romance because of how genuine it was, and the actors deliver their best performances as these heroes. Got the free-spiritedness, life-affirming heart of his non-blockbusters, and some terrific spectacle that is a BIG improvement from Ragnarok. Gave me some Dark Knight Ledger Joker vibes at one point.
