Thor: Ragnarok
Thor : Ragnarokdirector Taika Waititi is ( seemingly ) hinting at the rejoinder of Natalie Portman ’s Jane Foster in the approaching Marvel Cinematic Universe film . Portman played the role of Foster inThorandThor : The Dark World , but only appear via a picture inThe Avengersand was thereafter mentioned in passing only duringAvengers : Age of Ultron .
Last year , the Oscar - achiever Portman said"As far as I know , I ’m done"with the MCU , indicating thatRagnarokwould leave moviegoers to accept that Jane is alive and no longer a couple with Chris Hemsworth ’s eponymic , cock - swing god . Tessa Thompson ’s Valkyrieis set to take over from Portman as the de facto female lead in the thirdThormovie , but Waititi ’s late Twitter post suggest Jane could ( at least ) make a cameo in the superhero tentpole .
The paradigm post by Waititi to Twitter ( see below ) shows Portman mature 13 inLéon : The Professionaland 19 inWhere The Heart Is , along with the caption“Heed the signs,“and”#Ragnarok . “It could just be Waititi ’s nod to the absence of Foster , but it could also corroborate her involvement in the film . Given that Jane Foster is so significant to the backstory of Thor and eventakes on the Thor mantlein the Marvel Comics , it would be a pity for her role in the large tale of the MCU to already be over .

Interestingly , both pictures show Portman holding a sign plant , lead to wild speculation on what Waititi stand for . theoretician have judge that the image of the plant could also reveal the involution of the Guardians of the Galaxy , in particular , the inclusion of Vin Diesel ’s Groot . The newly - releasedGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2does shout - out toRagnarokat a few point during its runtime ( including , itsfive post - mention scenes ) , so maybe the God of Thunder will fall the favor in his own new movie ?
The gravid cross against the tidings is Portman ’s unelaborated account with the studio . She was reportedly upset about Patty Jenkins ' loss as director fromThe Dark Worldand apparently only appear in that film because she was contracted to . Despite this , Portman said as of late as December of 2016 thatshe ’s receptive to a return to the MCU , down the line .
Marvel Studios channelise Kevin Feige antecedently affirm thatRagnarokfocuses on Thor and Valkyrie ’s relationship , designate that Jane would n’t appear in the photographic film in any capacitance . Hence , if Janedoescome back , it would in all probability be towards the end of the pic so as not to detract from Valkyrie . Ragnarok ’s all - star cast ( which include Mark Ruffalo , Tom Hiddleston , and Cate Blanchett ) is stack as is , so a last - minute of arc appearing from Portman would be the ice on the cake .
