Natalie Portman “never” considered Thor glory. Fans are eager to see Portman reprise her role as Jane Foster in Thor: Love and Thunder. Portman returns to the MCU after 6 years as the next wielder of Thor’s hammer Mjolnir.
Portman told ComicBook.com she never expected to return as Mighty Thor. “It’s great to have these Jane as Mighty Thor comic books that Taika gave me the first time we met,” she said, alluding to the 2014 comics that established the Mighty Thor trope, three years after Portman played Jane Foster. During Comic-Con 2019, Marvel confirmed the storyline after Taika Waititi joined.

When asked if she ever considered playing the heroic character once it was created, Portman answered, “I never did.”
Despite the delay, Portman has masterfully directed the upcoming film and stated how Chris Hemsworth assisted her throughout the process because she didn’t know how to use the hammer properly, “A lot of the time, and I would even venture to say most of the time, you’re working with nothing, which was really helpful to have Chris there, you know, and his experience with it kind of guiding me through how to look like you’re wielding it, even when you know, you’re really holding nothing.”
