Christian Bale on the monotonous filming of ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’: “I didn’t differentiate one day from the other”

On the occasion of the premiere of ‘Amsterdam’, Christian Bale gave several interviews to promote the film in which he stars alongside Margot Robbie and John David Washington. Among these stands out the one made for the magazine GQ, where the actor of ‘American Psycho’ tells how it was the experience of him in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’.

This new installment of the famous saga starring Chris Hemsworth was Bale’s first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The ‘The Great American Scam’ star revealed that the constant filming in front of a green screen was particularly boring: “This is the first time I have acted on a green screen. It is the definition of monotony. You have good people and there are other actors who have a lot more experience than me. But can you tell one day from another? No, absolutely no. You have no idea what to do. I haven’t even differentiated one scenario from another. They told me: ‘You are in the third stage’. And I say, ‘Which is that?’, And they say, ‘The blue one’. Later, they said again: ‘You’re on stage seven’, and I ‘Which one is that?’, And they said, ‘The blue one’. And I was like, ‘Oh, where?’ “.

Bale revealed that one of the things that led him to accept this project with Marvel was because he really liked the previous episode, “Thor: Ragnarok”. Also, he claims that he thought the evil Gorr, who he plays during the title, was a very intriguing character.

He was afraid of getting caught by Bruce Wayne

On the other hand, Bale also had time to talk about ‘The Dark Knight’, the successful Christopher Nolan saga that managed to raise more than a billion dollars. The actor confessed to being worried about getting stuck in the role of Batman, although if he did, he would have an edge, he could finally stop acting..

“I loved it because I was like, ‘It could happen, it could happen that I can never be anything other than Batman. And for a lot of people, I won’t be.’ I said to myself, ‘Maybe I’ll’ be forced to do something different. ‘ maybe this damn thing [su carrera en la interpretación] that I was forced to do from an early age when I didn’t want to, it’s over. And be free. And then it didn’t happensays Bale.

When asked how he handled the success of the films, he said: “I always felt like it was something someone else was doing, anyway. It was like, ‘Yeah, this movie happened there and it’s doing very well there from what I’ve heard, that’s fine’. And I went to the supermarket to buy bananas “.

“I’ve never considered myself a protagonist, it’s just boring. You can’t get good performance. Even though I’m playing a lead role, I think I’m playing the fourth or fifth character below, because I have more freedom.. Nor do I think about the effect that a character will have. It’s up to me to play, like animals and children do. [Lo mejor] is having a tunnel vision of what you are doing, without thinking about the effect it will have “concluded the Academy Award.
