Director Taika Waititi reveals new details about Jane's role in "Thor: Love and Thunder".
Jane is back in Thor's life - but something is different. When Natalie Portman returns to MCU after several years of absence, it is in the role of Mighty Thor. For the first time we see a woman take over the mighty hammer Mjölner, and it turns out to be the thunder god Thor's old flame.
- It has been eight years. She has had a completely different life, and then suddenly the great love of your life comes into the picture - and dressed like you. It will be a real mindfuck for Thor, says Taika Waititi.
It is the film magazine Empire that shows the new picture together with some new quotes from the director. The details of Jane's return are still secret, but anyone familiar with Jason Aaron's comic books "The Mighty Thor" may be wondering where it's going. Waititi explains how he thought about Portman's role:
- I started writing the story and thought: would not it be fun to be with Jane again? But you do not want Natalie to come back as the same character, and carry research equipment. Should Thor fly away while she's at home waiting patiently? That would be sad. You want her to be a part of the adventure.
More of Natalie Portman's new superhero and Chris Hemsworth's huge biceps can be seen in "Thor: Love and Thunder", where they will also deal with the big villain Gorr the God Butcher - played by Christian Bale. Lots to look forward to when we return to MCU on July 6th.
