Natalie Portman Set to Return to Marvel
Actress and filmmaker Natalie Portman is set to reprise her role as Dr. Jane Foster in the upcoming film Thor: Love and Thunder. Portman’s absence in Thor: Ragnarok was certainly noticed by many fans. When the actress was asked in a recent interview with ET on her absence, she stated: “Obviously, I wasn’t written into [Thor: Ragnarok] because of where it took place. It wasn’t really on Earth, and my character is on Earth.”
