Would Natalie Portman Return For ‘Thor 5’?
While the future of Marvel Studios’ Thor franchise remains clouded, by the sound of things, Chris Hemsworth feels that he owes fans another installment.
The last time audiences saw the God of Thunder was 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder. Coming off of the universally lauded Thor: Ragnarok, the future of the franchise seemed to be in good hands. Under the watchful eye of Taiki Waititi, Chris Hemsworth’s titular Asgardian had been infused with a lightheartedness and sense of humor that had clearly reinvigorated the actor.
For Thor: Love and Thunder, Waititi and Hemsworth doubled down on the goofiness of Ragnarok. Unfortunately, the final result was a film that was irreverent to the point that it undermined any real stakes and destroyed the emotional narrative. In short, Thor had jumped the shark.
“I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness. And I became a parody of myself,” Hemsworth told Vanity Fair earlier this year. “I didn’t stick the landing.”
While Marvel has yet to officially announce that Thor 5 is in development, Hemsworth seems keen on giving it another go.
Will Natalie Portman Return For ‘Thor 5’?
During a recent interview with Total Film, Thor star Natalie Portman, who portrays Jane Foster/The Mighty Thor in the franchise, was asked if she would be open to returning for another go-round. While Portman revealed that no one has discussed another Thor film with her, she did say that she loved her time working on Love and Thunder.
“Oh, I have no idea. I mean, no one’s asked me to. So I don’t know. But sure, that was super-fun,” she explained.
“I loved working with Taika [Waititi], and Chris [Hemsworth] is just the greatest, and so is Tessa [Thompson].I was just laughing all day, every day. There’s only my highest love for that experience – and not to mention Australia, which is just the most glorious country.”
Although Jane Foster technically died at the end of Thor: Love and Thunder, a post-credit scene revealed that she was granted the opportunity to enter Valhalla, where she was reunited with Heimdel.
Perhaps, then, the door is open for the Mighty Thor to return after all.
