Natalie Portman on Thor: Love and Thunder, Deleted Scenes, and Playing The Mighty Thor
With Thor: Love and Thunder opening in theaters on July 8th, I recently spoke with Natalie Portman about playing The Mighty Thor/Jane Foster in the MCU sequel. During the interview, Portman talked about the passion of the fans, Taika Waititi’s imagination, the goats, what it was like seeing the finished film for the first time, and the first thing someone should watch if they’ve never seen her work. In addition, she talked about Thor: Love and Thunder’s deleted scenes saying:
“The joy and the sorrow of a Taika Waititi project is that he creates so much brilliance and so much material that the movie could be like an infinite number of things. And it like inevitably means that incredible, hilarious, moving comedy and drama ends up not there. So, there's a lot. I mean, there's full planets that are not there anymore.”
Check out what Portman had to say in the player above.
“Thor: Love and Thunder finds Thor (Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.”
The film also features Peter Quill aka Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel), and Zeus (Russell Crowe).
