After Thor: The Dark World it seemed as though Natalie Portman would forever be out of the MCU, the rumours about her not being very happy about making that movie with Alan Taylor rather than Patty Jenkins and her lack of appearance in Ragnarok making it seem as if Jane Foster was out of the picture as far as the movies were concerned.

And yet, here she is, back for the fourth Thor movie to apparently become the next god of thunder, much like how Foster did rather recently in the comics.

This all comes by how the actor was given a Mjolnir to hold when she appeared on the panel as well as how Taika Waititi has been reading Jason Aaron's run on Thor. If this is true then Portman will have a much more involved role in the movie than she has had in any previous ones, which should be great.
