A new fan poster for Thor: Love and Thunder depicts Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster reforging Thor’s hammer Mjolnir. Portman made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in director Kenneth Branagh’s Thor before going on to reprise her role in Alan Taylor’s Thor: The Dark World. Chris Hemsworth’s love interest did not return in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok and, while Avengers: Endgame did use archive footage of the actress, Portman technically hasn’t been seen in the live-action MCU in almost a decade. Now, she will make a grand return in Waititi’s Love and Thunder.
In addition to Portman and Hemsworth, the film will feature the Guardians of the Galaxy, Jamie Alexander as Lady Sif, Christian Bale as antagonist Gorr the God Butcher, Russell Crowe as the Greek god Zeus, and Tessa Thompson as “King” Valkyrie. Picking up after the events of Endgame, the sequel will see Jane lift Mjolnir and become the Goddess of Thunder aka Mighty Thor. That said, Thor’s hammer was destroyed by Hela (Cate Blanchett) in Ragnarok and the worthy Steve Rogers/Captain America took his misplaced hammer back to its proper place in time.
