Thor: Love & Thunder Has Way More Deleted Scenes Than Expected
Natalie Portman, star of Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder, says that the film has many more deleted scenes than initially expected. Thor: Love and Thunder is partially based on the 2014 comic book run «Original Sin.» In the comic, Thor is no longer able to wield Mjolnir, and Mjolnir is then picked up by Jane Foster.
Thor: Love and Thunder will be Waititi's second Thor film that he's directed, with the first being the critically acclaimed Thor: Ragnarok. The upcoming film marks Portman's first return to Marvel since 2013's Thor: The Dark World. Part of the reason Portman was compelled to return for Thor: Love and Thunder was due to Waititi's direction, as well as the chance to see Jane's character grow in a way not seen in previous films.

In an interview with IndieWire, Portman reveals that there is a substantial amount of footage that did not make it into the final cut of the film. Part of this is due to Waititi's choice to do multiple takes for each scene and make sure that every take was different from the last one. Portman notes that this led to several scenes in which there are many alternate versions of what actually ends up in the film, and that because Waititi encouraged so much exploration, sometimes whole filmed sequences were cut from the film. Besides this, Portman says that some of the more emotional scenes between Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) and Jane did not make it into the film, as well as more scenes between Jane and Valkyrie (played by Tessa Thompson).
