Marvels fans are convinced Christian Bale looks like Marilyn Manson in new Thor trailer

He looks utterly terrifying

Marvel fans are obsessing over the first look at Christian Bale in Thor: Love and Thunder and are even comparing his creepy looking character to shock rocker Marilyn Manson. We already got our first look at Jane Foster as the all new Mighty Thor following the first trailer - but now audiences have caught their first glimpse at the 48-year-old Bale as Gorr the God Butcher - and we have to admit, it's quite a shocking look for a Marvel film.

As you can see, not only has the reaction been overwhelming positive - albeit perhaps a little disturbed - but many have described the drastic look as akin to the likes of Manson and even Lord Voldemort. https://twitter.com/GeekToMeRadio/status/1528943071441956864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1528943071441956864%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-30710747684009359753.ampproject.net%2F2205051832000%2Fframe.html https://twitter.com/therealsupes/status/1528917386560151554?s=20&t=rFCHNGtmVCEUDgLGq8WLXA https://twitter.com/thfbsg/status/1528947341545607169?s=20&t=rFCHNGtmVCEUDgLGq8WLXA Without giving too much away (well, the name tells you most of what you need to know) Bale's Gorr the God Butcher is rather evidently one of the darker characters to have ever been introduced into the MCU. Gorr, sometimes referred to as Gorr the Redeemer or the Black Butcher, only has one goal: wiping out all deities from the cosmos - a pursuit he has been chasing for thousands of years - and now, Thor is next on his list.

Have we got a new Thanos on our hands? You can watch the full brand new trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder down below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go8nTmfrQd8
