Thor: Love and Thunder trailer features Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher

Gorr the God Butcher is here!

The hype continues to build for Thor: Love and Thunder as the latest trailer revealed yet another reason to be excited about the next Marvel Cinematic Universe film, headed to theaters in July.

After the first trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder revealed Natalie Portman’s new look as Jane Foster in her full God of Thunder regalia, the latest trailer, which debuted during Monday night’s NBA Eastern Conference Finals game, gives us our first glimpse at the film’s villain, the terrifying Gorr the God Butcher played by Oscar-winner Christian Bale. Director Taika Waititi has called the character “the best villain that Marvel’s ever had” and from what we can see in the latest trailer, it looks like Bale may just deliver on that promise.

Check out the trailer:

Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled to hit theaters July 8, 2022.

Fan mocks ESPN’s tragedy-focused coverage with superhero NFL Draft graphics

Amazing work.

Much of what ESPN accomplished with its production and airing of the 2020 NFL Draft was extremely impressive. That can’t be overlooked.

The network and the NFL teamed up to hold a draft remotely, and the three-day draft went smoothly with minimal (if that) technical issues.

But fans did reasonably take issue with how ESPN covered many of the draft prospects. There was an odd focus on personal tragedy.

As each team made their picks, ESPN would display a profile graphic for that player. It would include football-related accomplishments and then — out of nowhere — a traumatic experience or a personal loss would get mentioned. It happened over and over again throughout the three days.

So, one Twitter user set out to answer what ESPN’s NFL Draft coverage would have looked like for superheroes — from both Marvel and DC universes. And, well, the results were epic.

Given what we witnessed the past few days, that thread was too accurate.

Well done.
