Four-time Oscar nominee Christian Bale may have disappeared after playing Batman in the Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy (Batman Begins [2005], The Dark Knight [2008], and The Dark Knight Rises [2012]), but word has it that he’s getting suited up to play another superhero. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor is in talks to join Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder.
While Christian Bale’s rep did not immediately respond to People’s request for comment, Disney had no comment. The upcoming Marvel film, says People, will star Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tessa Thompson reprising her role as Valkyrie. Natalie Portman will return as Dr Jane Foster, who is set to take on the mantle of Thor.
Thor: Love and Thunder is slated for release on November 05, 2021.
