Gorr the God Butcher appears in the MCU film Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), portrayed by Christian Bale. This version has a more human-like appearance, only having white skin reminiscent of his comic book counterpart. In addition, it was the Necrosword who chose him as its wielder in retaliation for losing his daughter Love (portrayed by India Hemsworth) and his prayers to his god Rapu being left unanswered, corrupting him. In his quest to kill all gods, he attacks Thor and steals his axe Stormbreaker to reach Eternity, despite the Necrosword slowly killing him. After Jane Foster / Mighty Thor destroys the Necrosword and a final battle with Thor, Gorr, freed of its influence, readily sees the error of his ways, and asks Eternity to bring Love back before he dies. With Gorr dead, Thor raises Love to be a Viking warrior.
