I gotta tell ya the more I think about this the more I like it
and I know that some of you DC fans feel this is a little bit of a betrayal for
Bale to jump over to the other side but I think it's okay I'm gonna explain why
I mean it hasn't happened yet he's only in talks but when it gets reported by
all the trades it usually happens I think the only two times the deal didn't
go through was walking Phoenix for Doctor Strange and Harry Styles for
Prince Eric and those were right down to the line too but this will probably work
out and again I now kind of hope it does but yesterday I first heard this news
when it had first broke I was furiously editing my Joaquin Phoenix Oscar
video I put question mark because it's a video about whether or not now that he
has the Golden Globe will he get the Oscar so I hope you'll check that out so
I was deep in that and then I jumped right into my live stream and one of you
was like hey grace what do you think Christian Bale being in Thor and I
thought you know quite frankly I didn't believe it I thought it was just wishful
thinking from a Marvel fan right like wouldn't it be great a Christian Bale
was and it was in the MCU so I was like he's not gonna do that and the reason I
said he wouldn't it's cuz he's notorious for not liking the business side of
Hollywood he's an artist and you know what he kind of is he is an artist plus
he's already done his time and big Hollywood blockbusters sometimes it
worked out sometimes it really didn't work out but he's free and clear with
this Oscar he's at the stage of his career where he can only do the roles
that excite him so by the way that means that this must excite him which excites
me and should excite you but then when I saw that the news was indeed true you
can see it in the live stream my reaction was wow that Taika Waititi can
talk anyone into anything while he couldn't convince anyone to play Hitler
as I first reported to you as I'd heard from my sources and as he later admitted
some of you didn't believe me but he admitted it during his Oscar campaigning
he wanted a name I think Fox Searchlight because at the time it was a Fox movie
they felt that it would be better if a name actor was playing Hitler but nobody
wouldn't do it but taisto tycoon wee teeny how to do it
himself but he still talked a big names most mostly Scarlett Johansson
although her judgment is a little bit suspect she was so good in the movie
though but anyway he she did he did talk her into being in Jojo rabbit and I also
talked to very nervous Disney and is still releasing the movie after they
acquired it from Fox they're like what's in this Fox grande bag a Nazi comedy but
they released it it got a lot of Golden Globe nominations and it's you know I
think it's I think it didn't really quite work out to the level that Tiger
would TD had hoped but movie I would say it didn't embarrass it so it's a draw
it's a little bit like the Star Wars situations those of us like myself who
have problems with it I think it wasn't really particularly well received by the
public but I don't think that it was a failure either and also the way through
her love and thunder is shaping up Tyko achates just fine alright so and of
course speaking of Thor let's not forget that he convinced multiple Oscar winner
Cate Blanchet to be the big villain in a Marvel movie I don't know she's never
coming back I hope she does she seems to she's having her own personal crisis
threatening to retire after nobody saw would where'd you go Bernadette she
should've made that movie but anyway he also got Matt Damon to cameo and thor
ragnarok which was hilarious and maybe Damon put in a good word with his Ford
versus Ferrari co-star but even if Damon didn't I think bottom line Taika Waititi
is undeniably a very interesting director doing some very interesting
stuff he's making a Michael Fassbender soccer movie right now and I go fast but
it can be very funny too so I think that should be interesting and on that note I
quit TT is particularly funny very funny very very funny but also I think with
strong messages it's like intellectual funny and who doesn't love intellectual
funny particularly in Hollywood and everybody likes comedy and I think
Christian Bale himself is hilarious in Ford versus Ferrari showing a true
comedic streak this is a part of his career I think he has right to really
explore and if you want to be funny I think Tyco would TT is the person to
do it with just ask Chris Hemsworth so I imagine that pretty much anyone in
Hollywood these days would at least take title would teenies call and probably
sign on the dotted line except to play Hitler which is
understandable but some of you DC fans feel that Christian Bale shouldn't take
the call at least not for a Marvel movie as he is one of DC's iconic Batman and
shouldn't play for the other team so to speak but that's just it Christian Bale
is one of several bat men right and Warner Brothers is already on their
second new Batman after bales run with Nolan Plus let's be honest here while
Christian Bale is undeniably a phenomenal actor he wasn't the greatest
Batman right and he was an even weaker Bruce
Wayne and while Keaton by the way the original Adam West of course of rest of
rest in peace was the original Batman but the first movie Batman Michael
Keaton he went over to Marvel and he was fantastic well Marvel adjacent but still
nobody complained about that so I think it's fine plus we have no idea yet who
Christian Bale might be playing in Thor at love and thunder it could be a motion
capture performance which means you'll never actually even see him in the movie
Bradley Cooper himself now a highly respected actor director the Oscar is
given time he has shown the mileage that you can get out of doing motion capture
work for Marvel with a very small commitment you know Bradley Cooper just
comes in and does a few days of voice work and that's it which might be very
appealing to Christian Bale right although Christian Bale again is an
extremely serious actor so we'd probably want to do the motion capture himself
like Josh Brolin right he might be excited about the acting challenge
pioneered by Andy Serkis who by the way Bale already did some motion captured
for motion capture for as a voice and Mowgli it was really just the face but
still this is an exciting new frontier of acting and I think you know Christian
Bale might be like let's get in here so who could bail be playing in Thor love
and thunder well yesterday the internet gleefully hope you might play beta ray
bill and the jokes about Christian Bale who of course is famous for physically
altering his body for roles having to be told he doesn't actually have to turn
into a horse to play beta ray bill looks pretty funny those jokes were great
close again beta ray bill would be a highly comedic role which would be a
refreshing change of pace for Bale and I'm sure Taika Waititi would love it
because he probably could interact him alot in his own role in the Thor
movies and beta ray bill has already been teased and Tyco with T DS thor
ragnarok but Thor love and thunder is already a pretty busy movie it's got to
Thor's Valkyrie is said to be getting a love interest and of course the whole
Jane Foster has cancer storyline which can't be sidelined that has to be
important now on that note I do want to say that while I didn't agree with his
approach on Jo Jo rabbit I think Tycho would TT well he's clearly going to make
a lot of changes to Jason Erin's story from the comics for all his comedy he
isn't afraid of serious subjects and so I don't think he will shy away from the
cancer storyline I think we can trust him with it plus I don't think Natalie
Portman would allow him to mess it up because I think the cancer storyline and
being able to finally be the hero is a big part of what she's willing to return
and Natalie Portman herself an Oscar winner is probably another plus for Bale
as she would be someone who would get to act opposite of other possible roles for
bail argh or the god butcher which would also likely be motion capture although
they couldn't do it with makeup our Star Wars has proven that as gore looks a
little bit like he came out of Star Wars but that's another great character
villain from Jason Aaron's Ron Jason Aaron's Thor comic so good and also the
new comic this just touched off with Donnie Cates writing is also excellent
you should be reading Thor these days one of the best comics out there but
anyway this would allow Taika Waititi to show other gods beyond Asgard as Gore
hunts them down he's like a god serial killer that could be interesting a
little American Psycho there but Jason Aaron's own choice and quite frankly my
choice as well is from Jane from the Jane Foster Thor actual storyline and
that's Dario ager this I'm sure I'm mispronouncing it the
Greek CEO I'm sure some people would be like oh I didn't get a Greek actor but
no I think Christian Bale would be great but he's the CEO of Roxon another famous
Marvel company like Oscorp or hammer you know versus Stark Industries so I can't
hysteresis the good company and these are the bad ones but they're all kind of
cut from the same cloth and he can also by the way turn into a
Minotaur Wow so he'll get a little bit of a cool action sequences there but
what's the most interesting that's actually not the most interesting thing
about Dario he is a he is a villain who
the galaxy's for resources for his company making him an environmental
villain of galactic proportions during the war of the nine realms
he had his sights on the nine realms actually began to mine them for
resources it's fantastic I think Taika Waititi and Christian Bale would be very
interested and not just the comedy but the message that could be mined from
such material and really draw an allegory or meta you know parallel to
the environmental abuses that are taking place today like once we suck the earth
dry we're obviously gonna have to turn our eyes to the Stars or our machines to
the Stars and also what this character Warner Brothers would get to have Bale
himself on screen at least part of the time when he was non-military so who
would you like to see Christian Bale play and Thor love and thunder and what
are your thoughts and actors jumping between Marvel and DC I think enough
time has passed that it's okay especially since again the Batman mantle
has already been passed on now twice and also these are all very different
characters Bale is not playing another Batman type character for Marvel he's
gonna be doing something I think which will be quite different and especially
for an actor like Bale who's so transformative it will seem very
different you know he's not one of those actors who really just does one thing
which we all love but you know that I think that limits them and their ability
to jump between franchises but Bale again he's transformative so what do you
