Marvel's Avengers To Introduce Jane Foster: The Mighty Thor
gamespot.comA future update to Marvel's Avengers will add Jane Foster as The Mighty Thor, a new playable hero. The new hero is two updates away, coming as part of Update 2.5, so for now the studio is only teasing her arrival, rather than sharing much specific information. Alongside the reveal, it also detailed the upcoming 2.4 update.

Timing wasn't announced for Jane Foster, but the 2.4 update is aiming for May so it will be sometime after that.
