Thor Love and Thunder: Natalie Portman confirms that her Mighty Thor will fight cancer
The famous actress assures that Taika Waititi's new movie is very inspired by the comic The Mighty Thor and that he will wield the mighty Mjolnir.
Information about Thor Love and Thunder has been rather scarce since its official announcement in the summer of 2019 as part of Phase 4 of the MCU, anticipating that Natalie Portman will pick up the mantle of Thor Odinson and that Christian Bale will be the villain or one of the villains of the film, in addition to the possible presence of some of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, and after a recent interview with Natalie Portman herself, the actress has confirmed several much more decisive aspects, such as that, indeed, she will be the Mighty Thor from the homonymous comic and that her character will fight cancer in a story that will mix the tone humorous Waititi with more mature themes.
Mighty Thor will wield Mjolnir
Thus, and through a recent interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the actress has confirmed several aspects that will be key in the development of the new Thor movie, assuring that finally it will not be the so-called Lady Thor, but will play the powerful Mighty Thor, the character who stars in his celebrated homonymous comic and in which Jane Foster becomes Thor while fighting cancer.
The crux of this story is that when she wields Mjolnir to be Mighty Thor, she no longer suffers from the disease, though when she reverts back to being Jane Foster, the disease worsens. In addition, Portman has assured that she will not simply be a Thor in a female version, but that she will have her own powers: “She has powers. She is not exactly the same as Thor. She is the very version of her. She and she is called Mighty Thor, ”confirms the actress.
Of course, let's remember that in the movie, Mighty Thor will not replace Chris Hemsworth's Thor, but both may be Thor and that we will be able to see the two superheroes sharing the screen. On the other hand, Portman has assured that she has already started training her to gain some muscle mass. Filming is expected to start next January 2021, as the main cast is already in Australia preparing for production, including Christian Bale.
