Christian Bale's kids may be to thank for his involvement in ThorLoveAndThunder. Watch our full Around The Table interview:
Bale is no stranger to comic book blockbusters, having starred as Batman in all three of Christopher Nolan'sfilms. But he still says he was hesitant to dive in again and play a Marvel baddie — at least until his family convinced him otherwise.
"My kids have never really shown any interest in anything I've ever done," Bale says. "And this was the first film ever. I wasn't certain I would be able to do it, and they went to me [and said], 'No, you're doing this film.' They absolutely insisted on it. So I took their marching orders and said yes, definitely."
In addition to breaking down some of the film's best and most colorful fight scenes, the cast also opens up about stunt training and secretly watchingrehearse his lightning bolt twirls. They also praised Waititi for always setting the mood on set, whether he was organizing push-up competitions or curating the perfect playlist.
And as Portman notes, that atmosphere was particularly helpful on days when the set itself didn't feel all interstellar. "There's one scene that's one of the most visually beautiful scenes I've seen on film, and we shot [it] in real life in a Best Buy parking lot," Portman says with a laugh. "It's so wild to be on this size of movie, and we were literally in a parking lot with a blue screen, doing this really dramatic thing. It looks so stunning on film, but every time I see it, I'm like, 'That's a Best Buy parking lot.
