“This is the first time I’ve done that,” Bale said when asked about his experience working on green-screen acting, “I mean, the definition of it is monotony. You’ve got good people. You’ve got other actors who are far more experienced at it than me. Can you differentiate one day from the next? No. Absolutely not.”
The actor continued to paint a picture with an example of when he was looking for the next take’s location.
As much as the actor and his son loved watching Thor: Ragnarok, shooting behind the scenes, being involved with the film itself had proven to be difficult for him.
He adds that acting in front of a green screen for the Marvel film was ‘monotony’ as he described it, that he couldn’t ‘differentiate one day from the next.’
Bale is known for often adopting method acting for his roles, but admits he made no attempt to stay in Gorr’s character in between takes. “That would’ve been a pitiful attempt to do that.” He describes how pathetic that would look, trying to stay ‘villainous’ while being helped to get his fangs in and out, or when pointing out he’d broken a nail, or tripping over the tunic.
