There ’s a good chance thatThor : Ragnarokmakes a cosmic superstar out of its hero … but his girlfriend , Jane Foster wo n’t be there to lionise . Since the moment he first set foot on Earth , Jane has been by his side ( literally ) , meaning plenty of Marvel fans hop that ifRagnarokwas giving Thor a tonic start , then his oft - pick apart romanticism would get an upgrade as well . That assumption crumbled whenNatalie Portman claimed her part was over , and further check seemed to intimate that Jane was being pushed out for a unlike love interest : one who take place to hail from somewhere closer to Thor ’s hometown .
When word first broke that Thor and his Asgardian corner of the MCU would be joined by Valkyrie , many assumed the warrior womanhood would be Thor ’s " new love interest . " But just as many abound at the assumption that an actress of Tessa Thompson ’s abilitiesmustbe a potential romance for the god of thunder . As we larn during our visit to theRagnarokset , Valkyrie is far more than ' Thor ’s new girlfriend ' - but fanswilllearn what happened to his old one .
The film ’s overarching melodic theme of pitting Thor against overwhelming odds will extend to Valkyrie as well . Not only due to their relationship beginning with ' Val ' kidnapping Thor and rick him over to The Grandmaster ( Jeff Goldblum ) , but because her place in Asgardian history and military excellence far exceeds even the Odinson .
When we raised the doubt of Thor ’s romanticistic partner during our visit to theRagnarokset , the smile on hotshot Chris Hemsworth ’s fount reflected his character ’s entertainment - especially now that we knowmeeting Valkyrie turns Thor into a total fanboy :
It ’s like Thor ’s meeting his hero ! And he ’s dead smitten by her and because of her history , and being a Valkyrie and all of that . But she ’s also this beautiful adult female so he ’s kind of becharm off sentry go . And she can , you make out , she could quiver the s * * * out of him if she wanted . So I opine he has n’t do up against that very often .
It certainly was n’t the suit with Jane . There was a whole different affection and love there . So that was another , you know , ‘ How can we make that different from the previous one ? ’
The fact that Thor take on a beautiful charwoman who can beat him to a mush amuses even Hemsworth should evoke hopes for fans - even if it ’s sure to stimulate up those in Lady Sif ’s camp . And while they have a impregnable case , the time for debate it has belike passed . Because as coarse as it may be for Lady Sif to hear that Thor has a fresh leading lady … it ’s bad for Jane Foster .
Even if his word of honor refer to the " love and affection " between Thor and the first human woman he meet and ( right away ) fell in dear with , his economic consumption of thepast tenseis more revealing . address with us not long afterNatalie Portman claimed she was done withThor , Hemsworth could n’t assist but smirk when referencing the result he and Waititi had come up with :
So Thor is just over Jane now ?
Umm , no we have this , we have some … some very respectable fun with how that family relationship may have total to an end [ gag ] .
We ’ll have to let resourcefulness run wild on what that could mean , but the star ’s assurance that Portman has been written out of the series " creditably " means it may simply be the intersection of his new cosmic character . That was the vague explanation offered by producer Kevin Feige as well , claiming thatRagnarokspent almost no time on Earth , making a Jane subplot infeasible . And as was discover during our set visit , Thor has spent class sinceUltronpatroling the cosmos in chase of the Infinity Stones , Thanos , and the many ecumenical threat that pasture up along the way . Needless to say , that would bring fresh signification to ' long distance relationship . '
So , are you felicitous to see Thor stand on his own as a champion of MCU ’s cosmic universe ? Do you go for to see him twin up with a Valkyrie who can put him in his station , or would you hope to see Jane Foster yield in future picture ?
