The first trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder finally made its debut on Monday, and anticipation surrounding the Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster is only continuing to grow. The trailer and marketing materials have showcased that the film is clearly inspired by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic’s Thor run from the comics, with a lot of visual and narrative elements being outlined. Among them is the introduction of Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who will serve as the main villain of the film. While Gorr didn’t make an appearance in the trailer for Love and Thunder, recently toy reveals and other pieces of merchandise have provided a bit of an inkling as to what he could look like — and fans have been divided by what they’ve seen thus far. In a recent post to his Substack newsletter, Aaron addressed the reaction to Gorr’s design thus far, and teased that the physical appearance of the character might not matter at the end of the day.
