Christian Bale’s hat in “Thor: Love and Thunder” has been modified by Voldemort

Since the first glimpses of Gorr in “Thor: Love and Thunder” were revealed, it has been pointed out that the terrifying character closely resembled another villain in the film: Voldemort. Now, the director of the film, Taika Waititi, reveals that said antagonist of “Harry Potter” was fundamental so that the role of Christian Bale has undergone several changes and resembled as little as possible.

Originally, both the Gorr of the Marvel comics and the Voldemort of the JK Rowling books are very similar in description: tall, thin, snake-like and extremely powerful but evil. That is to say: they have the same essence. Like this, Gorr has been modified to not look like Voldemort.

However, Voldemort first came to theaters since the 2000s with “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”, where Ralph Fiennes played the antagonist of the wizarding world: bony, noseless, bald and with features reminiscent of a reptile. That’s why Taika Waititi and the makeup department of “Thor: Love and Thunder” had a great challenge to create Gorr with the same characteristics but with differences.

People will automatically establish that connection. So we decided to step away from that design a bit and keep elements of the tone and the fact that it had the sword. But it was really his story. This was the most important thing for us, “Taika Waititi told IGN.

The Christian Bale hat in “Thor: Love and Thunder”‘, he managed to differentiate himself from Voldemort: he has a nose, many scars on his face and his eyes are a honey yellow color that shines through his whitish skin. That is, despite the color of his skin, baldness and the aura of evil that he emanates; They prove to be different bad guys.

However, it is always possible that while having their own characteristics that make them unique within the same reptilian and evil concept; many end up repeating it Voldemort and Gorr look alike. Now it will be necessary to find out who is more wicked than the other.
