Yes, you read that title correctly. After famously wanting to exit the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Natalie Portman has been confirmed to return as Jane Foster in the upcoming fourth installment of the Thor franchise. This comes right off the heels of a short cameo in Avengers: Endgame that was made with the help of deleted footage from Thor: The Dark World.

They also confirmed that Jane Foster’s return will signal her change into Thor. The upcoming film will be based on Jason Aaron‘s The Mighty Thor run that saw a sick Jane Foster picking up Mjolnir and turning into a new incarnation of Thor. It will be interesting to see how they bring back Mjolnir after it got destroyed by Hela and Rogers returned the one we saw in Endgame to its original timeline.
Are you excited about this reveal?
