Its story was set on Asgard and the garbage planet of Sakaar. In contrast, the first two <em>Thor<\/em> films, while featuring Asgard, spent most of their time on Earth. Characters like Jane Foster and Darcy Lewis (who later appeared in <em>WandaVision<\/em>) balanced the hard fantasy elements by still tethering the movies to Earth. Jane Foster was not Asgardian, she was a human that lived on Earth and had no superpowers.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --><br \/>\nMarvel Studios president Kevin Feige told Entertainment Weekly that they wanted to pit Thor &#8220;against a character who was much more his equal and in many ways his superior.&#8221; Tessa Thompson was then cast as the new woman lead in Valkyrie. Like Thor, Hela, and Heimdall, Valkyrie was an Asgardian that was many times more powerful than a human being. The story Marvel Studios and Taika Waititi wanted to tell with <em>Thor: Ragnarok <\/em>did not call for Natalie Portman&#8217;s character to return.

According to their sources, Portman was excited to work with director Patty Jenkins for <em>Thor: The Dark World<\/em>. Jenkins was officially announced as director before apparently being removed from the project. The film would have made history as the first superhero tent pole to be directed by a woman. History was made with <em>Wonder Woman<\/em> (2017) instead, which had Jenkins at the helm. Marvel&#8217;s firing greatly disappointed Portman, who only starred in <em>Thor: The Dark World <\/em>due to her contractual obligations. It is possible that after this incident, Natalie Portman had no interest in returning for another <em>Thor<\/em> film. Her absence was explained in-universe with a mention in <em>Thor: Ragnarok<\/em> that Jane ended her relationship with Thor. At that point in time, Marvel Studios likely did not have plans to work with Natalie Portman on a future <em>Thor<\/em> film.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\n<span class=\"related-single\">Related: Thor: Love &amp; Thunder Merch Reveals New Look at Christian Bale&#8217;s Gorr the God Butcher<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-did-natalie-portman-return-to-the-thor-franchise\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Did_Natalie_Portman_Return_to_the_Thor_Franchise\"><\/span> Why Did Natalie Portman Return to the Thor Franchise?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.712477396022%\" title=\"Director Taika Waititi reveals the script for Thor: Love and Thunder isn't complete, despite reports to the contrary.\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/WRpcpMX2vVKy29OVPoVhKGKykoPh8M.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/WRpcpMX2vVKy29OVPoVhKGKykoPh8M.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/WRpcpMX2vVKy29OVPoVhKGKykoPh8M.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/WRpcpMX2vVKy29OVPoVhKGKykoPh8M.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1106\" height=\"583\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Thor: Love and Thunder Script Isn't Finished, Director Debunks Recent Reports\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/WRpcpMX2vVKy29OVPoVhKGKykoPh8M.jpg\"\/>\n <\/picture>\n <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Jane Foster has unfortunately proved not to be a popular pick when fans think of their favorite MCU characters. She has only appeared in two <em>Thor<\/em> films, neither of which were well-received compared to the other films from Marvel Studios. Foster has mostly been remembered as Thor&#8217;s ex-girlfriend, when Natalie Portman wanted to do so much more in the role. <em>Thor: Love and Thunder <\/em>has given the actress and her character a chance to shine.

Jane Foster&#8217;s role in <em>Love and Thunder<\/em> won her over. At the D23 Expo, Waititi was asked by Variety <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Variety\/status\/1165135671981330435\">why Portman decided to return<\/a>. He answered;<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! --><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nI just said to her &#8220;Are you interested in coming back to this thing, but doing something really different?&#8221; No one wants to keep repeating themselves, and no one wants to play the same characters all the time. And I think for her, just coming back, reprising that character in a whole fresh new way was really what would interest anyone. Especially in most of these films, if you&#8217;re not a superhero&#8230; do you really wanna keep doing that? I mean, I wouldn&#8217;t. I&#8217;d want to come back and change things up.\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the Marvel Comics storyline from writer Jason Aaron, Jane Foster fought cancer while taking on the mantle of Thor and wielding Mj\u00f6lnir. <em>Thor: Love and Thunder <\/em>has been said to be heavily inspired by the comics run. However, changes will need to be made for the big screen as Mj\u00f6lnir has been destroyed. Mj\u00f6lnir from an alternate timeline was used by Thor and Captain America in <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em>, but was returned where it was taken from. Certainly, the comics storyline made Jane Foster a much more character than mostly being known as a superhero&#8217;s love interest. The chance to become a superhero herself, work with a talented director like Waititi, and explore a great storyline managed to convince Portman to return after nearly a decade away from the MCU.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #5! -->        <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Peter-Dinklage.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Peter-Dinklage.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Peter Dinklage\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            <strong><span class=\"next-btn-text-title\">Peter Dinklage Teases His Involvement in Thor: Love and Thunder<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"next-btn-text-p\">Speaking on a new podcast, Peter Dinklage made sure to mention Thor: Love and Thunder in a vague and conversational way &#8211; before quicky denying it.  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    <strong class=\"section-sub-title\">About The Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/619ec86ab6c7d-Matt.jpg?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Matthew Kang<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(32 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n                Matthew Kang is a writer for MovieWeb and English Literature graduate from the University of Waterloo.
