Marvel Studios is now assembling its troops for the fourth film in the Thor franchise; the principal photography will kick start in Australia in the first half of 2021 (possibly January).
Though the production commencement is still three months away, actors have been called up to prepare for the role, which deals with their rehearsals, costumes, combat training, and other necessary things to work on before they begin portraying their characters.Christian Bale was seen arriving in Australia; he will join Halle Berry, Josh Brolin, Ben Affleck, Ryan Reynolds, and others as someone who has worked for both DC and Marvel.
Fans were highly surprised when they heard about his recruitment, given the fact that he has confessed many times that he does not want to work in a superhero film.
It will be interesting, though, seeing Bale and Hemsworth go head to head in a motion picture.We will have to keep in mind that Christian Bale has portrayed Batman in two of the finest films ever made in a superhero genre (The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises).
What has also shocked the fans is the fact that he will be playing the antagonist character and his previous experience in that kind of role include films like American Psycho and The Machinist.
Well, ask any critic in the world, even if Christian Bale is at his 50 percent for the film, he will massively overshadow Chris Hemsworthâs performance.In one of his previous statements, Bale had shown contempt for a contemporary superhero film and had gone as far as to say that he hasnât seen any latest comic book film except Christopher Nolanâs films, which he has done and Christopher Reeveâs Superman films, which he likes.Fans are now curious to know what changed Baleâs mind.A recent report has suggested that he will possibly play the role of Dario Agger, a ruthless CEO of Roxxon Energy Corporation, who was the main villain in Jason Aaronâs version of Thor comics, which was the first-ever Marvel comic that showed Jane Foster lifting Thorâs hammer.Since Natalie Portmanâs inclusion and Jane Fosterâs new incarnation has already been confirmed, we can assume that the upcoming film will draw heavy inspirations from Jason Aaronâs comics.Academy Award winner for Black Swan, Natalie Portman will return to reprise her role of Jane Foster almost a decade after her last Marvel film Thor: The Dark World.
