13 Star Wars Actors Who Were Also In Marvel Movies
3. Natalie Portman
The Actor: Considering Natalie Portman's first two film roles were Luc Besson's Léon and Michael Mann's Heat - when she was just a teenager! - it should be no surprise that she's gone on to establish a reputation as one of the finest talents of her generation. This reached its apex in 2011 with Black Swan, with Portman winning the Best Actress Oscar for her performance as the tortured ballet dancer. Next year will see her finally star in Western Jane Got A Gun, a year-and-a-half after it was initially supposed to be released. Role In Star Wars: Portman starred in the prequel trilogy as Padme Amidala, the Queen of Naboo, wife of Anakin Skywalker, and mother of Luke and Leia. Portman brought real strength to the role, but had the bad luck of having to act opposite Hayden Christensen. Role In Marvel: Astrophysicist Jane Foster in both Thor and sequel The Dark World, she's also the God of Thunder's girlfriend, and mentioned in both Avengers films although she doesn't actually appear in either of them.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
