Natalie Portman Talks About Jane Foster and The Character’s Future in the MCU
In a recent conversation with Los Angeles Times, Natalie Portman opened up about her character Jane Foster and her future in the MCU. She said:
“I really love Taika’s ability to not have any rules about how [a comic book movie is] supposed to be. Having that kind of freeform and free possibility is so lucky, and really lucky for Jane as a female character, in particular. He really made room for her to be ridiculous and weak, and she didn’t just have to be this kick-ass tough girl all the time, which I think is sometimes the interpretation of what a feminist character would be.”
Talking about the future of the character, she said:
“I am open to anything. It’s such a cool character and I feel like anything is possible.”
Finally, she remarked:
“I think a lot of fans are gonna potentially assume, ‘Oh, OK, this is the passing on of the torch’… I’m not privy to any plans Marvel has for the future, but I don’t think that’s the case.”
It remains to be seen what the future holds for both, Natalie Portman and Jane Foster.
Thor: Love and Thunder is playing in theaters worldwide.
