One particular element inThor : Ragnarokthat raised some brow was the film ’s flippant cite of Thor and Jane Foster ’s split . While traveling to New York with Loki ( Tom Hiddleston ) , a group of Avengers fans reveals that Jane ( Natalie Portman ) dumped the God of Thunder , motivate Thor to quickly claim that it was a mutual break - up . Since then , the subject has never been broach again . If anything , the reference to Jane was Marvel ’s endeavour at explaining why she ’s not in the film .

But while it ’s a give that she ’ll carry out her Modern role asMighty Thor , it ’s also odd what dynamicshe will have with Hemsworth ’s character moving forward . look on the reason for their break - up , it ’s actually not outside the realm of possibility that they rekindle their Romance language and get back together .
