This is huge, Bale is a legit genius and capable of doing incredibly complex characters ( seen The Fighter ? He's magic in it)
Hopefully Taika will find the right role and characterization for him. Taylor utterly failed with Eccleston ( another gifted and intense British actor) to make use of his talents. I thought he did wonders with Blanchett as Hela - yeah, she was pretty straightforward, as in just nasty, but with a bit of style and a sense of humour.
Is the God Butcher a character that would suit a Waititi Thor film ? I would have thought that character a bit too serious.
Still, big news for the film.
