    Who is Gorr the God Butcher

    Christian Bale plays the scary villain in the Marvel picture, once again dazzling the audience with his unrecognizable appearance. Gorr the God Butcher, played by former Batman Christian Bale, is unquestionably a character the likes of which have never been seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The presence of Bale’s Gorr adds intrigue to the storyline since fans have been waiting for his official MCU debut despite Gorr’s relative newness to Marvel Comics.

    What Sypnosis has to say about Gorr

    The film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi), and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.

    Someone who has already read the comic from where Thor: Love and Thunder took its inspiration might not have to wait to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance. Here’s everything you need to know about the origin of Gorr and what is he really up to.

    Origin of Gorr the God Butcher

    From the official trailer, you might have already figured out that Gorr is up to no good as he has pledged to slay all the Gods. Gorr says in the trailer. “So this is my vow: All gods will die.” According to Marvel’s Comic books, Gorr the God Butcher was created by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribi and first appeared in Thor: God of Thunder #2 in January 2015.

    His Genesis narrative takes place over three thousand years ago on a grim planet, where his people struggle to survive while praying to the Gods. Gorr’s parents died when he was young and when he got older his faith in Gods was reduced, even more, after his wife and children also died of starvation. His tribe stones and banishes him after he declares loudly that he does not believe in Gods anymore.

    After being banished Gorr roamed on the planet all alone struggling to survive until he found two Gods fighting each other to death. So, when two Gods emerge and fight, one of them dies and the other lies on the ground unconscious, Gorr decides to take advantage of this situation by bonding with the All-Black the Necrosword.

    Gorr kills the unconscious God as revenge for not answering his prayers when he was in salvation. Gorr now has a much stronger belief that Gods are unworthy of the love and prayers they receive from their worshippers. This also shows why Gorr said “The only thing gods care about is themselves,” in the official trailer of Thor: Love and Thunder.

    Gorr claims his power and sets out on a mission to eliminate all Gods from the universe. He holds “All-Black the Necrosword” and an Ancient Symbiote of Power. All-Black, the first symbiote, is an old amorphous weapon that binds to Gorr. It endows him with superhuman abilities such as greater strength, endurance, and the capacity to regenerate. Gorr may use the shape-shifting symbiote to create armor and weapons for himself. However, the main weakness for Gorr is that he is way too dependent on his sword.
