Chris Hemsworth’s Thor will become the first MCU hero to take the reins of his own standalone film for the fourth time. Furthermore, Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster from the original will be back as Mjolnir-wielding Thor. Together, they’ll face off against Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher in this new film.

Korg and Miek, two fan favorites from Ragnarok, will join the duo. In addition, Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie will return as the ruler of New Asgard. Thor was last seen in Endgame hopping off into space with the GOTG. And now the guardians will be accompanying Thor on his journey in Love and Thunder.

For the first time in eight years, Natalie Portman is returning to the MCU as Thor. Consequently, many are wondering if this is just a one-off or if this is the beginning of a long relationship with the character. According to recent reports, it’s the latter, with Jane Foster potentially in the works for a future solo outing.

MyTimeToShineHello, a well-known insider, recently tweeted that Jane Foster’s Thor may lead her own solo MCU outing. According to KC Walsh of Geeks Worldwide, “more than ‘could,’ and closer to “will,” suggesting that concise plans are implemented for Natalie Portman’s Goddess of Thunder to result in a Marvel project, supports the claim.

Chris Hemsworth’s hero could be in big trouble if Jane Foster takes the reins of her own solo project. Marvel Studios is well aware of the consequences if they have two Thor films running concurrently. It’s possible that the Australian actor is ready to leave the MCU after more than a decade in his Asgardian role, which has seen him in four solo movies and four blockbusters with the Avengers.

Goodbye, Hemsworth!

Disney has yet to release a trailer for Love and Thunder. This means it’s impossible to know how closely Taika Waititi will be adhering to the comic book source for Jane Foster’s Thor arc. As a side note, if Love and Thunder were to follow the original source material, Foster would have cancer. This is what originally sparked her to the wield Mjolnir.

After taking on the role of Thor in Marvel Comics, Foster also became a member of the Avengers and began a romantic connection with Captain America’s Sam Wilson. After becoming Odinson, the original Thor makes his way without Mjolnir. Perhaps in the future, Chris Hemsworth will step back from the lead role in the MCU. Meanwhile, Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster will proceed with Thor’s legacy in a fifth installment or a Disney+ series.
