According to Taika Waititi, Christian Bale wants to star in the 4th Thor sequel because he was impressed by what Marvel Studios showed in Thor: Ragnarok.
“I think Thor: Ragnarok was quite successful and attracted other actors, like Christian Bale. He’s seen Thor: Ragnarok and said ‘I want to do a fun role too’ he said, then joined us.” said Taika Waititi.
In addition, Taika Waititi also explained the reason for Natalie Portman’s comeback in this film. It is known, Portman was absent from Thor: Ragnarok, which disappointed his fans.
Now, in Thor: Love and Thunder, Natalie Portman aka Jane Foster has transformed into Lady Thor and is able to take up Thor’s mainstay weapon, Mjolnir.
“Natalie also watched Thor: Ragnarok, so I’m sure that her character will have exciting changes and adventures because, you know, her character in the previous films wasn’t made this interesting (being Mighty Thor). He’s interested too.” he explained.
