Natalie Portman might already be an MCU veteran, but there's no getting around the fact that her role in Thor: Love & Thunder is going to be a complete transformation. And that's not just for Portman herself either, because when she comes back for the fourth chapter in the God Of Thunder's sub-series, she's the one who will be wielding Mjolnir.

Her return was a huge surprise, given how much her apparent reluctance to do any more MCU work had been spoken about - especially after she only returned for Endgame to dub a line - but she did have unfinished business. Her Jane Foster was largely misused in her previous appearances and went from being one of the world's most renowned - and valuable - scientists to being Thor's ex with barely any other relevance.

When she comes back and becomes The Mighty Thor - as Taika Waititi has confirmed she'll be known - we should FINALLY get to see her given a proper storyline to play with.
