Natalie Portman's Mighty Thor/Captain Marvel Wish Can Happen In Phase 5
Natalie Portman's wish for a Mighty Thor and Captain Marvel team-up after the events of Thor: Love and Thunder could happen in Phase 5 of the MCU. Thor's fourth solo movie will premiere in theaters on July 8th. Natalie Portman was confirmed to be making her return to the MCU in 2019 when the latest Thor sequel was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con. Theorizing over what Portman would bring to the table immediately gained traction, as her return includes the reintroduction of Jane Foster as Mighty Thor.

It's a heartbreaking tale but an impactful one, and merchandise for the movie seemingly confirms that this part of Jane's story will be included in Love and Thunder. Though Jane Foster's fate after the events of Love and Thunder can only be theorized at this point, Portman's comments about her potential future in the MCU provide interesting fodder for speculation.
