Christian Bale is apparently ready to star in another comic book movie — but not the one you might expect.

Bale played Batman in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, and he's now in talks to join the cast of Marvel's Thor: Love and Thunder, Collider reports. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman will star in the flick — set to open on Nov. 5, 2021 — with Taika Waititi directing.
