Without a doubt, Marvel is taking its sweet time before releasing the much-awaited trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder. While that's happening, the hype machine for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Moon Knight has gone insane. Nevertheless, the anticipation for the God of Thunder's new film is one that's keeping a lot of fans on their toes lately. Of course, there's the occasional leak that helps keep the excitement alive for everyone, specifically an early glimpse of Christian Bale as Gorr.

In a post that's circulating social media and the internet, Hasbro's upcoming Marvel Legends Thor: Love and Thunder wave has leaked, giving fans a good look at several characters, including those of Chris Hemsworth's two distinct looks, Chris Pratt's Starlord, Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie, and Natalie Portman's Thor. While fans have known these characters for quite some time, this is the first time everyone is getting a glimpse of Christian Bale playing Gorr the God Butcher.

The action figure itself sees Gorr draped in white with a head sculpt that shows Bale's transformation as the villain in this Thor installment. It comes with a black sword, presumably the All-Black. In the comics, the said sword is made from the same material as Venom's symbiote suit, allowing its wielder to become immortal and gain a wide array of abilities.

Meanwhile, Gorr's whole motivation in the comics is to eliminate all the gods in the Marvel universe after experiencing severe hardships and trauma caused by these beings. Over the years, the God Butcher murdered a significant amount of these characters, until he was defeated by Thor himself.

With these details in mind, the whole arc of Bale's Gorr shouldn't be far off from his comic counterpart. Of course, the release of Thor: Love and Thunder's trailer by Marvel would be a great help in piecing the puzzle and generating tons of hype for the movie as well. In any case, these Marvel Legends action figures from the film would have to do for now.
