Some time ago it was confirmed that in “Thor: Love and Thunder” Jane Foster would have a plot related to cancer in the same way as in the comics, even if there are still many doubts surrounding his character. However, both Natalie Portman and Taika Waititi have given more details on Jane, now transformed into Mighty Thor, in the new Marvel movie whose premiere is imminent. The director and actress commented on it in Variety the character has a great “dilemma” which, apparently, sets her apart from both Thor and other superheroes.
As for Jane’s cancer subplot, Portman didn’t want to get too wet and limited himself to saying that being a superhero “it might give you a different perspective on your human life.” Waititi, for his part, confirmed this the cartoon character “has a dilemma” Y “big decisions” what to take and what “they were very interested” in keeping those decisions on film.
On paper, Jane has breast cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy, but by transforming into the Mighty Thor her powers remove all toxins from her body, including the chemotherapy that is curing her cancer. In this way, we could say that being a superhero is killing her. Although Waititi has focused on character development in the comics, everything indicates that this plot or part of it has been carried over into the film.
The evolution of Jane
Portman last appeared in ‘Avengers: Endgame’, albeit with a very brief cameo, so we could say that the actress hasn’t had a major role in the MCU since ‘Thor: The Dark World’. According to Variety, the actress was excluded from the franchise because she wasn’t happy with how her character had developed and was even canceled for “Thor: Ragnarok”. “That character just looks like a romantic interest. She is an Earth girl who goes from place to place being mortal and without any transcendence, “says Waititi regarding how Jane Foster was developed in ‘Thor’ and ‘Thor 2.’ However, this will not be her fate in ‘Love and thunder’.
The new Mighty Thor will join Chris Hemsworth’s god of thunder to fight a new enemy, Gorr, played by Christian Bale. After passing tests of the tape, Waititi placed him as the best villain in Marvel, above others like Thanos or Killmonger. Anyway, we will check it out very soon, since “Love and Thunder” will premiere on July 8, 2022.
