The hammer is thrown to the Moon and remained forgotten, until he begins to telepathically call Jane Foster, who gives in to his call, once there, Jane picks up the hammer becoming the new Thor.
Her story unfolds as the new superheroine, until issue 705 where she fights for the last time with Thor's powers, until his death. Well, every time she transformed into Thor, she affected her health.
Although fortunately, she is revived by Odin in the company of Thor, who recovers her powers, and Jane Foster manages to defeat cancer.
The official synopsis says that Thor is on a journey unlike anything he has ever faced: a search for inner peace. But his retreat is interrupted by a galactic assassin known as Gorr, the Butcher of Gods (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi), and his ex Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who, to Thor's surprise, now wields the magic hammer. Together they embark on a cosmic adventure to unravel the mystery of the Butcher's revenge and stop him before it's too late.
