Bad news for those who thought Jane Foster, the character played by Natalie Portman, would retain the title. mighty Thor after the events of Thor: Love and Thunder. Revelation comes from Taika Waititidirector and writer of the series, who spoke in an interview about the character’s future after the film.
In an interview done in TotalFilm, Waititi talks about the return of Natalie Portman’s character Jane Foster to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and her transformation into a superhero. “Now that Thor uses Thunderbolt, it’s fun to give the hammer to someone else. […] It is no longer his tool, the idea is that someone else will take his place, ”he said.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean that Jane Foster as the Mighty Thor is the new Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the comics, although she takes her place for a while, she eventually becomes a Valkyrie. And although the director mentioned that the character’s story will be very similar to the original, it is not known how much it will be adapted. Thor: Love and Thunder.
What we know from the movie is that Jane Foster has Mjolnir, which was reforged using hammer shards destroyed during Thor: Ragnarok. He also has new abilities.
Jane Foster stopped being the Mighty Thor after Thor: Love and Thunder.
But even with the powers granted by the reforged Mjolnir, even being the Mighty Thor during the movie, in the same interview, Taika Waititi said that he won’t necessarily retain his superhero powers, or at least his Mighty Thor position at the end. Thor: Love and Thunder.
“I think a lot of people are assuming this is a transition from Chris Hemsworth’s character (Thor) to Natalie Portman’s character (Jane Foster). But this is not necessarily the case. I don’t know about Marvel/Disney’s plans for the future, but I doubt it will be.”
We know that Hemsworth can’t be Thor all his life and that the character will retire at some point, as happened with Robert Downey Jr (Tony Stark/Iron Man) or Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Captain America). But Natalie Portman’s plans don’t seem to go according to plan.
Or maybe, as in many other cases, in many other interviews with directors, writers, producers and heads of Marvel Studios, this is just a way to avoid answering the question so as not to ruin the franchise’s plans for the future. Or even make end spoilers Thor: Love and Thunder.
Thor: Love and Thunder happens after the events Thor: Ragnarok in which Asgard is destroyed. Then the Grandmaster’s ship, with all the survivors from the planet on its way to Earth, is boarded by Thanos, killing half of the passengers. After graduation Avengers: EndgameThor seems to be searching for his inner peace, meets a new villain, Gorr, and is reunited with Jane Foster, who now has Mjolnir in her hands.
