While the comic book community has had about a full decade to get used to the idea of Jane Foster as Thor, and she is shown up in the Avengers Assemble cartoon from a few years back, the first real attempt at making Jane Foster is in the new movie. It's one thing to hear about the news and see Natalie Portman hold Mjolnir at Comic-Con three years ago, but it's entirely different to see it come to life in a trailer. The expression that Chris Hemsworth's Thor has upon seeing his old love pick up his shattered weapon is going to be a big part of his journey throughout the film.
In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Taika Waititi said that. Jane hasn't been seen since she was a vessel in the movie "Thor: The Dark World" and the movie split up between then and now. Imagine if it was weird to see your ex while you were out and about one day. It has been about eight years since Waititi promised to see Jane again. The love of your life comes back on the scene and is dressed like you.
The decision to adapt the acclaimed Mighty THOR run that began in 2014 only came about after breaking down Love and the rest of the story. Waititi said that he wanted to make sure Jane wasn't here to just be The Girlfriend again. He wants her to be on equal footing with the prince of thunder we have known and loved since 2011.
Portman will be able to show more of her comedy chops, something we haven't gotten in a long time. Waititi doesn't think she got to be funny in the first two movies, something that's quite hard to disagree with. Her comedy talents will be on display when the movie is released.
