The news that Natalie Portman will not only reprise her role as Jane Foster in the upcoming film Thor: Love and Thunder but she will do so as the mighty Thor shook the Marvel Studios panel crowd at San Diego Comic Con 2019 like, well, a clap of thunder. It was all the more surprising given Portman’s reported behind the scenes issues while making Thor: The Dark World, leaving us under the impression she would never return to the part, but also because the character of Jane was undercooked in the first Thor, damsel’d in the second one, and completely absent in the third.
Why would she want to return to such an underwhelming character? Well, after seeing how writer-director Taika Waititi was able to breathe new life into Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder in Ragnarok, creative lightning could conceivably strike twice when Portman picks up the hammer.
