LOVE AND THUNDER — GeekTyrant

Some new early concept art has surfaced featuring an alternate design for Christian Bale’s Gorr The God Butcher in Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder. A lot of fans didn’t really care for the design of the character in the movie. The design that we’re seeing here is more in line with what we’ve seen in the comics.

While Bale was great as the character, he didn’t have the best script to work with. It’s also been said that the actor’s best material in the film ended up on the cutting room floor. Some of the scrapped scenes included interactions with Peter Dinklage and Jeff Goldblum.

As for the art, it was shared by artist Aleksi Briclot, who said: “On this one I kept the [actor’s] face while keeping most features from the comic book. The two tentacles and the overall white look. Instead of having the character half naked exposing his musculature I used a torso armor mimicking it. I was also thinking about how could we deal with the shadow effect surrounding him. Having a practical black outfit with a hoodie and then some surreal extension [with CGI].”
