NATALIE PORTMAN is Thor!

[Fosterson]

[B]@Fosterson[/B] was right. She does use Mjolnir's shards in her attacks which is totally different and nice to see.

 

[Fosterson]

Would be interesting if true. I just picked up it was to show Thor as a lovesick puppy.

That too. but its possible there's a less obvious meaning as well. Its definitely been established in Ragnarok and Endgame that Thor never got over Jane and has been pining for her ever since they broke up.

There’s ways of doing romance without coming out as corny and simple small stuff like this is both sweet and endearing.

Unfortunately, the writers of TDW never got that memo.

They did a great job with Jane as the Mighty Thor.

She looks absolutely fantastic. Great, dedicated actor, fantastic costume design.

Fantastic.

Natalie 'bout to bring those Black Swan vibes:

Hemsworth said that working on the film they realized they had "filled in the blanks with what [they'd] thought had happened" but "there actually wasn't a whole lot" of evidence to say what had actually happened:

"There actually wasn't a whole lot of evidence to definitively say, 'This is how they broke up. This is what happened.' It was left open for interpretation, which was great because it allowed us to go on this fun journey; 'What did their relationship look like when they were together? What did it look like when they were breaking up? Why did they break up?' It's some of the funniest stuff in the film."

Portman followed this up by mentioning that "it was really fun" to get to fill in those blanks and "imagine the parts of their relationship we hadn't seen:"

"It was really fun to get to imagine the parts of their relationship we hadn't seen...and the hard parts of a scientist dating an otherworldly Super Hero."

The Jane Foster actress also went into what it was like coming back to the Thor franchise, praising director Taika Waititi for bringing "such a sense of fun" to the set:

"Taika brings such a sense of fun, mischief, and spontaneity to the set. It was a really joyful environment and we embraced the silly."

Another name Portman had nothing but good things to say about was Tessa Thompson (aka Valkyrie). The two had played opposite one another before in Alex Garland's Annihilation, and Portman was quick to say "[she loves] Tessa," noting she was "lucky to have a friend to play with on and off set:"

"We worked together on Annihilation and also quite closely with [the #MeToo Hollywood activist group] Time's Up, and I am always blown away by her brilliance, talent, and generosity. I truly love her and I was very lucky to have a friend to play with on and off set."

As someone who was worried they weren't going to include this part of her story, I am glad to read this.

And hey, we already know Portman can rock a bald head

Jesus… Natalie Portman looks incredible. I never imagined she would look this good as Mighty Thor.

Taika was right when he said that she was the only person for this role!

 

[BoredGuy]

Honestly, between the guns and the dirty blonde hair, she's looking more and more like Hemsworth's [real-life] wife lol

 

[AvengerPA]

I wonder if they CGI-ied her height.

 

[AvengerPA]

I answer my own question. Yes they did.
Natalie Portman on being a "newbie Thor" in Love and Thunder – and her preparation for the role | GamesRadar+

Newbie or otherwise, Portman certainly looks the part. Jane Foster’s imposing new look was all down to Portman. "The only thing we assisted with was making the Mighty Thor a little bit taller," laughs Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. "That was the only movie magic we used. Everything else was all her."

Well Ms Hemsworth already played Jane in the post-credits scene for TDW, soooo...

Yep, amazing, and it means a lot that she dedicated herself to getting into such great shape for the role. Really wish her character takes off here.

Oh really, never knew that! Will have to look that up.
