Christian Bale is about to make his MCU debut in 2021’s Thor: Love and Thunder, nevertheless it looks like he received’t cease at only one cinematic universe. And that’s as a result of sources near WGTC – the identical ones who mentioned Transformers is being rebooted and Kevin Conroy was taking part in Kingdom Come Batman in “Disaster,” each of which we now know to be true – have knowledgeable us that Warner Bros. is seeking to make Bale a function of the DCEU, too, and one function they keep in mind for him is villainous immortal caveman Vandal Savage.
I’ve lengthy been a fan of the character, who’s famend as one of the crucial harmful villains within the DC Universe. His origins start 50,000 years in the past when Savage was a caveman and an opportunity encounter with a mysterious meteorite granted him super-intelligence and immortality. Since then, he’s wreaked havoc all through the centuries, has claimed to be answerable for destroying Atlantis and to have secretly been historic figures like Alexander the Nice, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Blackbeard, Vlad the Impaler and Jack the Ripper. Extra not too long ago, he’s saved a decrease profile, however nonetheless seeks to do evil for evil’s sake all through the DC Universe.

Whereas he’s by no means made it to movie earlier than, he has appeared on a few live-action TV exhibits. In Smallville he was performed by Dean Cain, and on the Arrowverse’s The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow by Casper Crump. They each did respectable jobs, however I feel Christian Bale could be a implausible selection for Savage.
He’s proved time and time once more that he can convey a scary depth to any function he tackles and his latest behavior of taking part in extra villainous components fits his model effectively. After all, we’re certain that WB has different actors in thoughts as effectively for the job, however we’re definitely hoping that this little bit of casting finally ends up understanding.
