Taika Waititi is set to return to direct the Thor: Ragnarok sequel which has been slated to begin production in mid-2020.

If Christian does join the Thor cast, this will be his first comic book movie since 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises.

While the actor’s involvement has not yet been confirmed or revealed, fans are excited and already planning/suggesting ways for Christian to join the MCU.

If #ChristianBale gains enough upper body weight and loses enough from his lower body, he could play Thor's hammer in #ThorLoveAndThunder
