Natalie Portman never thought she d get to be Mighty Thor

Get the Full StoryMarvel fans lost their collective minds when they found out that Jane Foster would be returning to the MCU in Thor: Love and Thunder, leaving astrophysics for superheroism by donning the mantle of the Mighty Thor; evidently, watching her clutch Mjolnir to the iconic riff of Guns N Roses Sweet Child O Mine is a surefire goosebumps recipe.

And it appears Natalie Portman herself, who has portrayed Foster in the MCU ever since her debut in 2011 s Thor, was caught just as off-guard as the rest of us when she found out that she would become the Mighty Thor. As she stated in an interview with ComicBook.com, her character picking up the Thor mantle did not occur in the Marvel comics until 2014, which came after her last appearance in the MCU, 2013 s Thor: The Dark World. Back then, the actress never expected her character to return in such an explosive manner.
