NATALIE PORTMAN is Thor!

[Fosterson]

Some people saw this coming:

With Jane's cancer now all but confirmed, I suspect that Jane's visit to New Asgard is to say goodbye to Thor and finally find closure with him.

 

[antsman41]

She didn't really "leave" the MCU per se. They just chose not to include her in Ragnarok after the poor reception to the character in TDW, and the fact that the movie was set almost entirely off Earth.

FWIW, Feige has said that she always stayed in contact with Marvel and was always open to returning if they wanted her.

She was mad about the director situation... this isn't news. She wanted out.

Thats overly simple.
From what i read, she wanted to take a break from Acting in general when they came around for Thor 2 and sweetened the deal with Patty Jenkins as Director for it.
When that fell through, she only made Thor 2 because of Obligations.

That, the fact that people really werent super into the character...and the fact that Ragnarok was taking place on a different planet, well it is what it is.

I would say it has turned out for the better, we now get her as Mighty Thor...Win/Win situation in the end.

Agreed. And I'm guessing that her becoming Jane-Thor is the result of Thor not taking this well, and deciding to "fix" things with his developing godly power. After all, if his dad could take away godhood, surely its possible to give it, too?

They couldn't exactly keep it secret after this:

Yeah there's literally no point after that SDCC announcement.

 

[Enriquespy]

Wait, it was a secret?

Swole Nat is wild to see.

Its odd that there was a time when fans thought losing Patty Jenkins was bad for Marvel. But then we saw WW84 and now it feels like Marvel kind of dodged a bullet as we ended up with Taika in charge.

Is Jane Foster wearing a blonde wig as Thor or does her hair turn blonde when she transforms? And does she even transform in the MCU since Thor never changes from Dr Donald Blake?

I love Natalie Portman and I think she's a wonderful actress.

But...she is quite literally 5 feet tall. I just think her as Thor is a little odd given how short she is. I'm excited to see her in the movie, but I do wish they went with someone taller.

She’s got Thor arms now though.

I mean Portman was cast 5 years before Jane ever before even became Thor in the comics so its not really something they could foresee.

Mjolnir and the magic of Hollywood will probably grant her a few cm. Also the Mighty Thor isn’t exactly that tall either right…

Not to mention that Tessa Thompson is the same height as Natalie, and nobody seemed to think she was too short in Ragnarok.

And besides, Taika said that she was the only person who could play the role of Mighty Thor, so...

She looks so good that I’d love for her to hang around for a few films along with Thor before bowing out to the cancer storyline.

Who knows she might get her own movie like the new Captain America.

Hopefully she has a good enough showing here for the demand to there. I still want more regular Thor films too.

and they could finally introduce Enchantress!

I'd love a Disney+ show starring Natalie and Tessa about Jane and Valkyrie going on crazy adventures together and maybe starting a new Valkyrie Corps.
