Thor 4 is actually titled Thor: Love & Thunder, and it will feature a monumentus passing of the torch, as the power of Thor (and the hammer that goes with it) gets passed to Natalie Portman‘s Jane Foster!
Portman showed up in Hall H to officially claim Mjolnir as her own. Not surprisingly, Marvel fans are having some big reactions to hearing this casting news!
YESSSSSSS!

It will be interesting to see how Female Thor is depicted onscreen. Will it be Portmanย actually suiting up? Or a body double?ย
If She Be Worthy…

If you think about it, the game has changed so much for women in the MCU, since the days where megastars like Portmanย were resigned to playing thirsty love interests. Why *shouldn’t* she get to enjoy the golden new era?ย
What About Madison?
OK, so the real question, Mr. @TaikaWaititi, is will Natalie Portman wind up with @BigBoyler in the next #Thor ? Their date was going pretty well, all things considered. #Thor4

The real question is whereย does Jane Foster’s Thor leave her would-be beau Richard Madison (Chris O’Dowd) fromย Thor: The Dark World?ย
Dawn of Her(oes)
Wait. Did I just watch a panel where Natalie Portman was revealed as the Female Thor and Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek are the same MCU movie and Monica Rambeau is here and Kate Bishop too and did Tessa Thompson say Valkyrie is looking for her queen? My God, my head is spinning.

This Natalie Portmanย Thor change is just one indicator of MCUย Phase 4 truly fulfilling that A-Force promise fromย Avengers: Endgame.ย
…And we are here for it!ย
