Many fans were just excited to see Natalie Portman again, reminding them of her role as Jane Foster. Some of the excitement stems from Portman having an extremely large fanbase, and Marvel fans are not immune to her charms.
Portman’s appearance at the movie premiere has sparked a lot of interest among fans.
Many are wondering if she was there to remind us she was involved with Marvel movies in the past, or if it’s a hint her character may be making an appearance in Avengers: Endgame.
Is Dr. Jane Foster making a comeback?
Natalie Portman made her appearance in the Marvel universe in the first two Thor films. Portman played scientist and love interest Dr. Jane Foster, a character that won over the hearts of many fans.
However, Portman’s last appearance as Dr. Jane Foster was six years ago, in Thor: The Dark World. There were hints in Thor: Ragnarok that Thor and Dr. Foster went through a bad breakup, but they never got to end their relationship in a movie scene.
Now that Portman has been spotted at the premiere for Endgame, many fans are seriously hoping she will be in the new movie — as Thor’s love interest or not.
Marvel Comics fans remember that Jane became a female Thor in the pages of the comic books so that increases speculation on her future in the movies.
