Christian Bale Might Be Joining Thor: Love and Thunder

Now that the holiday season is officially behind us, the Hollywood studios are back in action, making deals and making content. And for some extra help with that, it looks like Warner Bros. will start using machine learning and predictive data. Let's get you caught up. As if the ascendance of Natalie Portman's Jane Foster as the new Thor and the return of Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie weren't enough reason to be excited for Thor: Love and Thunder, now there's word a new actor may join the fray: Christian Bale. According to Collider, the one-time Dark Knight is in talks to join the next film, which will be directed by Thor: Ragnarok helmer Taika Waititi. No word yet on who Bale might play--although folks already have theories--but if he's the Big Bad that could be pretty cool, no? Have you ever watched a Warner Bros. picture and thought, "Man, a robot could've greenlit a better movie than that."?
