Despite there being confirmation from the cast of the film of Christian Bale playing the villain, persistent “rumors” of him playing Silver Surfer in Thor: Love and Thunder were officially shot down tonight by the writer/director himself.

In an Instagram live stream for Thor Ragnarok, Taika said that Silver Surfer is not in the movie at all, but wouldn’t comment on Bale’s villain role. He also said he wasn’t sure about Beta Ray Bill showing up in the movie, but he did confirm Starsharks and that he’s on the fifth or sixth draft of the script.

Even without Silver Surfer in the movie, the fourth Thor movie will probably end up to be even crazier than Ragnarok. Taika described it as, “It’s like 10-year-olds told us what should be in a movie and we said yes to every single thing.”
