Christian Bale dons the costume of Gorr, the Butcher God and thus signs his entry into the MCU. The actor’s physical transformation and makeup are stunning.
A terrifying physical transformation
The shaved head, the face covered with scars, the gray skin and above all, those piercing yellow eyes… Christian Bale’s physical transformation as Gorr is successful but terrifying. The studio made an artistic choice that is both surprising and intriguing: while the film’s scenes and the costumes seem to be particularly colorfulthe villain presents himself in a black and white universe where only those yellow eyes stand out.
Aged 48, the Oscar-winning actor makes a masterful entry into the MCU, after playing Batman in Nolan’s trilogy. From DC to Marvel, Christian Bale had already expressed reservations about the possibility of his arrival in the universe of Marvel. In effect, the actor has already publicly confessed that he is not a big fan of the licensebut it seems that the role of villain has convinced him.
