*Spoilers Ahead*

As Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is out of commission since the last Marvel movie, fans have been eager to see the God of Thunder back in action. As of yet, only a few characters across the cinematic universe could wield the hammer, and with the sad demise of Stan Lee, we still aren't certain which characters could pick up Thor’s iconic weapon.

Now, Natalie Portman will take up the mantle of Thor in the upcoming Marvel sequel Thor: Love and Thunder announced on Saturday.

The actress who debuted 2011’s original Thor movie; is all set to reprise the role of Dr. Jane Foster. The character was seen missing from the major action in 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok.

The movie would be based on an existing 2014 comic book storyline where Thor loses his abilities and Jane Foster wields his powers and magical hammer Mjolnir. 

Further details of the plot have not been released, but the director Taika Waititi clarified that her name would be Mighty Thor.

While we saw Thor backtracking himself from the frontlines, the new team of young Avengers would be assembled in order to maintain peace on earth. And at the end of Hemsworth’s most recent on-screen appearance in Avengers: Endgame, the character had left his role as ruler of Asgard to join the Guardians of the Galaxy team, and appointed Thompson’s Valkyrie character as his replacement. Now, Marvel is prepared to initiate the phase 4.
