Tonight, TF1 broadcasts the latest adventures (dated) of Thor within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first channel takes advantage of its Sunday session to transport its spectators to the remote regions of New Asgard alongside the character embodied by Chris Hemsworth. This is the first time that the film directed by Taika Waititi has been broadcast in linear on a free channel. As a reminder, Love and Thunder following Ragnarok And marks the second collaboration between Taika Waititi and Marvel. The director had reinvented the god of thunder with the third part of the saga, abandoned the solemnity of the previous films to adopt more pop accents, a chest humor and a colorful aesthetic. Love and Thunder was based on the same recipe … a detail. For the first time since 2013, Natalie Portman resumed the role of Jane Foster. But why had the actress left the ship since The world of darkness ?
In 2011, Marvel could boast of recruiting the cream of Hollywood cream for her superheroic proposal with divine accents. In front of Kenneth Branagh’s camera, Chris Hemsworth gave the reply to Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgård or Idris Elba. Natalie Portmanthat we no longer present any more at the time when Thor invests the big screen, is entrusted with the role Jane Foster. It appears in the skin of a shiny scientist Who will cross the road to an arrogant god.
It will be for the film inspired by Nordic myths to tell how this meeting with humanity will upset the perception of the hero. Their relationship will be deepened in the second part, before Jane Foster does not disappear from radars. Officially, the two characters broke shortly after the events described in The world of darkness. Ragnarok will also mention it at the bend of a scene taking place in New York, shortly before Thor and Loki meet Doctor Strange.

Officially, she had no place in Ragnarok
Questioned the absence of a portman to the distribution of RagnarokKevin Feige explained that the context of the story prevented a return from the character. Indeed, the film does not evolve on earth and it is precisely on the blue planet that it exercises its profession as astrophysicist. Questioned by the Wall Street Journal At the time, Portman said he did not intend to return to the near future. “For what I know. I’m finished (with Marvel Editor’s note). I do not know, if, one day they ask me for Avengers 7. I have no idea. But it was really a good thing to be part of it ”. In his place, Tessa Thompson plays female opposite to his character in Valkyrie. She will also be involved inAvengers : Endgame and Thor : Love and Thunder.
Other corridor noises nevertheless evoke disagreements for the direction taken by the second film. In 2011, when the actress plans to take a break in her career to devote herself to her child, Marvel would have managed to convince her to stay by promising her a more important role in the film’s development process. Portman is already a director and participates in the recruitment of a filmmaker. Patty Jenkins is then envisaged To succeed Kenneth Branagh.
However, this project will not materialize and the director will finally realize Wonder Woman on behalf of DC. If she had taken part in the adventure Thor 2it would have marked a turning point in the history of the studio. She would have been The first woman to go behind the camera For a superhero film at Marvel. Portman, who makes the lawyer of greater diversity in Hollywood, would not have seen Jenkins’ eviction with a good eye. Committed to Thor 2she would have agreed to do this last project before distanced.
A most surprising return
From then on, Jane Foster will only be mentioned or visible at the bend of some images taken on the set of the previous flaps of the saga. She will have a small role in Endgamesome sentences said during Thor’s trip to the past. The images come from Darkness world And Natalie Portman only was loaned to dubbing. However, in 2019, on the Hall H scene at the Comic Con de San Diego, the actress appears a hammer in hand to formalize the return of her heroine. Taika Waititi, who wrote the script for Love and Thunder Alongside Jennifer Kaytin Robinson explains that she asked if she was ready to become a superheroin herself. It was necessary for the actress who swaps her role as a love-instant for that ofEx-small-friend with new superpowers.
The fact remains that things have not been unrolled as planned and Thor : Love and Thunder was largely denied by part of the public. The development of his character representss one of the biggest mess This adventure, which was not lacking in ambition. The humorous tone that had done miracles on Ragnarok appears in complete dissonance with the tragic fate of the character. The film will never succeed in sacred its disappearance, his death will never be taken seriously. However, there were beautiful ideas, such as when the relationship and the break of Thor and Jane is mentioned by means of a flashback sequence narrated by Taika Waititi himself (Korg).
In 2023, Natalie Portman confided not to know if her character would be asked again. After all, she is now in Valhalla and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has not not yet ventured in these saints lands. The priority nevertheless seems to be elsewhere for the superhero stable, which rather put on the Four fantasticX-Men and Defenders to restart the machine.
