This sounds horrible.
Natalie Portman is one of the worst actresses I've witnessed.
I'd rather have an actor that has the performance and build for this part.
Eh, I'd give that to Hemsworth himself. Portman may not have enjoyed her time as Jane, or done much to elevate what she was given, but she didn't manage to wreck two films worth of a major character before Marvel gave up on getting anything serious out of him and wrote a comedy for him.
And now that same comedic director is going with Jane, so I'd expect pratfalls as she starts out inexperienced and not 'suddenly as good as Thor at being Thor', considering that *Thor* isn't even allowed to be competent or capable in the MCU, but has to be the 'funny' screw up.
(I put 'funny' in quotes because I find it not at all funny. I still haven't been able to sit through the short bit with his 'roommate Darryl.' It's just too painfully stupid for me.)

Great news, was not really expecting another Thor movie. I hope that Thor will still show up in Guardians as well.
This all makes me very excited. I'm hopeful Portman can carry this off.
Every time Natalie speaks, it sounds like she's reading from a cue card. She's 4'11 and maybe weighs 100lbs.
I'd like to see somebody playing a Viking Goddess less petite, more toned, and give a convincing performance.
Aaron has written the best Thor Story recently which is the God Butcher/Godbomb Saga. This would make an epic movie, especially if you look at Thor's Current Status. Its perfect for him to find his way back.
Instead we're getting Petite Goddess of Thunder and her valkyrie bff
Give it another 2 months and she’ll be 4ft and 80lbs soaking wet.
