Tessa Thompson confirms Christian Bale is playing the villain in 'Thor: Love and Thunder' ⚡️ In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, actress Tessa Thompson confirmed that Christian Bale plays the villain in Thor: Love and Thunder. As such, despite the fact that we've yet to see Balder appear in the MCU to this point doesn't mean Wen's designs won't make it onto the big screen sometime in the future. But as it turns out, much of the design work he did at the company is still popping up in Marvel movies so many years later - like the Black Panther designs he art directed during pre-production on The Avengers that eventually informed the character's cinematic debut in 2016's Captain America: Civil War. Wen left Marvel Studios to pursue his own creative endeavors in 2014, so he's not involved in the future of the MCU - at least not directly.
How do you integrate him without him feeling like he's just an added character?" "He's an important character in the comics. He's the one that actually triggers that whole event of the destruction of Asgard," said Wen. "In the comics, he is the one who triggers Ragnarok. Ultimately, however, the biggest hurdle was that there was no easy way to introduce Balder to the MCU's continuity while giving him the importance the comics says he should have. "There were interesting ways that I remember us going through of bringing him in that made a lot of sense as well." "Especially if you're trying to make a story really about Thor and Loki." "He complicates things quite a bit," Wen said of Balder. "Balder is really the true heir to throne There's a lot of things about that character that can be really key to the story."
"Odin was doing something on the side that he shouldn't have," said Wen. But the thunder god's origins actually point to Gaea, the Earth goddess, as Thor's real mom, while Frigga is his step-mother. The films depict Frigga, played by Rene Russo, as Thor's mother. So what's the big deal about Balder? Well, for starters, he's got more right to the throne than either Thor or Loki - at least if Marvel Comics and Norse mythology have anything to say about it. While the character's inclusion in the film was eventually scuttled, it's exciting to imagine how the MCU might've been different had Balder survived pre-production. Wen's Instagram post from August of 2018 included concept art for Thor: The Dark World that revealed his take on adapting Balder - who's appeared in Thor comics for years - to the big screen. "Balder is so integral to that Thor family," said former Marvel Studios head of visual development Charlie Wen during our exclusive interview.
