In an interview with ET, Portman shared some thoughts on her absence; 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. However, The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Portman had felt unhappy with Marvel for years.
Forget the whole, “she’s a woman!” argument and let’s look at it from a unbiased perspective; she does not look like she is strong enough to even fit the role!Natalie Portman is 5 foot 2 and 100 pounds. She is really small and petite to the point that it would look comical to see her as “THE MIGHTY THOR!”
Jane Foster, played by Natalie Portman, is a pivotal figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and in the Thor movies. Portman plays Thor's love interest in the films and although she was absent in later films, she is coming back to reprise her role. Thor: Love and Thunder is set to be released in May 2022.It was first announced at Comic Con that Portman would play Lady Thor, the Goddess of Thunder. She will wear a warrior dress and also have a hammer, but not much else is known about the character yet. However, the director said they are taking elements from the comic Mighty Thor, where she takes on the mantle and power of Thor while battling cancer.
