‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Teaser Reveals Natalie Portman as the New Thor
variety.comWilson Chapman editorAfter a break from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Natalie Portman is back and more powerful than ever in the first teaser for “Thor: Love and Thunder.”The fourth film in the “Thor” series is directed by Taika Waititi, who helmed the well-received “Thor: Ragnarok.” The movie follows on the heels of “Avengers: Endgame,” which ended with Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth), adrift after the fall of his kingdom Asgard, leaving Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
The teaser begins with him as a member of the group, with Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan and Vin Diesel set to reprise their roles.
Previous MCU actors Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Sean Gunn, Jeff Goldblum and Waititi himself — as the rock gladiator Korg — will also return for the film, but the biggest moment of the teaser comes in the final seconds, when Portman’s Jane Foster is revealed as the new Mighty Thor.
Set to Guns ‘N Roses’ “Sweet Child ‘O Mine,” the trailer begins with Thor on a quest of self-discovery. “These hands were once used for battle, now they’re but humble tools for peace,” he says as he puts aside his new hammer Stormbreaker and watches an intergalactic sunset. “Now I need to figure out exactly who I am.”After a weight-loss training montage and a new outfit, Thor leaves the Guardians of the Galaxy behind to find his own path.
