NATALIE PORTMAN is Thor!

[LauraT]

I don't think she's just taking money from The Mouse, she doesn't really need to at this point, unless she saved very poorly. TW is currently on everybody's list of "People I Want to Work With" in Hollywood and she seems very excited about that. That and the getting to play a female Thor/superhero and not just Dr. Jane Foster: Love Interest is probably a big draw as well. Not to mention potentially some of the more meaty emotional cancer scenes.

I'm not a big Natalie fan and I don't think she sounded dismissive about the film, her tone was light and Jane becoming Thor is inherently a little silly as a plot point, even when done really well. I'm sure the film will be pretty different to the last time she played Jane in quite a dour film that was also more than a little silly. Even if she is just in it for the money, there are plenty of actors that most likely joined the MCU more for the name/visibility than the artistic merit and turned in good performances.

Yeh I expect TLT to have a similar tone to Ragnarok but I also think Taika will probably add more pathos to the story since that was one of the bigger complaints about Ragnarok. I mean one would be wise to listen to constructive criticism and improve stuff.

I would imagine there has to be some sort of pathos, if they're using Jane's cancer battle and there was a mixture of comic dealing with it and real pain in Thor's IW/Endgame storyline.

Also a movie that likely features talking trees, raccoons, rock monsters, horse faced aliens, space sharks, giant dwarfs, pegasus, Goldblum... can very well be called kind of “silly” and in a good way I might add.

Bring more of the weird stuff. We have plenty of the usual cookie cutter, rethread kind of stuff everywhere else...

These are some sweet panels.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this sort of angle would be the one used in TLT. Funny, heartfelt but also still very much thor in nature.

I couldn't help but find this funny:

If we get any kind of scene like this then I'm gonna end up making a bunch of shamelessly sappy Thor/Jane tribute music videos on youtube and no one can stop me.

I'm wondering if we'll get a mention of Jane in WandaVision, what with Darcy being in it. Maybe a reference to her being sick or something.

Yeah, this is one of the films they should go all out. Anything goes here as long as it’s quality.

Just been thinking about this again, and I really feel that if we get a scene like these in the movie, they should reuse the Science and Magic song from Thor 1:



It's a genuinely beautiful piece of music and is obviously very significant to Thor and Jane's relationship. Plus, I loved it in Ragnarok when Taika brought back Doyle's theme from the coronation scene, so it'd be great to see him do it again.

Apparently, Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky is going to be starring in a movie directed by Natalie Portman's husband, Benjamin Millepied:

Which one is Hemsworth's wife?

 

[Fosterson]

Which one is Hemsworth's wife?

The one with blonde hair. Don't you recognise her from such masterpieces of modern cinema as Fast Five and Snakes on a Plane?

She also acted as a body double for Natalie Portman in the post-credits scene of TDW, where Thor comes back to Earth and kisses Jane.

Apparently Natalie has been practicing her riding skills in Centennial Park (the same place where they've built sets for the movie):

My guess is that she’s probably gonna be riding in TLT and is getting a few lessons beforehand. Maybe she even rides a Pegasus at some point.

Apparently Natalie is pregnant, so I assume they're gonna have to CGI-out her bump like they did with ScarJo in AoU and Gal Gadot in WW.

 

[Dark Raven]

She'll need the rest of her to be in shape though otherwise if she's put on baby weight around her face, arms, hips and legs they'll have to CGI all that out too.

It is what it is. No biggie.
This sort of stuff like you said has been done before. It’s Hollywood, they can work around it... hopefully everything goes well for her.

Can't see any image.

One thing's for sure though: Nat sure knows how to rock a pregnancy bod!

FWIW, it turns out Natalie's not pregnant:

Looks like the training regiment did pay some dividends. She looks toned and strong.
