Natalie Portman talks about the difference between playing Jane Foster and The Mighty Thor

The last time we saw it Natalie Portman in the MCU (in person) it was when she played Jane Foster alongside Chris Hemsworthis Thor in the 2013 movie, Thor: The Dark World. In the films that followed, it became clear that Jane had broken up with Thor and we weren’t able to close much on the subject, but we moved on. Now, Jane is returning to Thor’s life Thor: Love and thunderand a changed woman is returning.

The passionate actress is returning to history after taking on the role of The Mighty Thor, and spoke about the differences between playing Jane then and now at a recent press conference she attended / Film, saying:

“It was such an amazing way to explore a female superhero who might be quite vulnerable and weak and find strength in that and be more like a human that I could relate to, personally. And then I also think she gave me renewed respect. for what Chris has been doing for over a decade, [what] Tessa is doing, because I see how much work there is in it that I don’t think I was aware of when I was in the first. I haven’t seen everything that happened behind the scenes. And when I got an idea of ​​all the choreography, the training and everything, I was like ‘Wow, this is a triple job of what I was doing then.’ “

He then talked about how Thor and The Mighty Thor differ from each other, saying:

“[Thor and The Mighty Thor are] completely different. I think [Thor is] obviously very confident and experienced in being a superhero and just trying to figure it out. She is new. And she also keeps returning to human form. So there’s always some kind of danger that it might be her last moment to experience it. “

I can’t wait to see this movie, which promises to fill in the gaps related to Thor and Jane’s breakup and how Jane became his powerhouse that we see in the film. Thor: Love and thunder comes out in theaters on July 8th. Buy your tickets now!
