    God, Natalie Portman looks fucking amazing.

    I don’t understand some people being pissed at Portman being brought back into the franchise. She’s a fantastic actor, and, let’s be honest, the only reason her character fell flat in the first two films was due to the writing.

    Give her a role she can be excited about playing, which Taika obviously has, and she’s going to knock it out of the park. Thor has Stormbreaker. She will get Mjolnir.

    I think it sounds like one hell of a fun movie in concept.

    I'm kinda 50/50 on NP. When she's good she's great but she definitely has a tendency to phone things in

    If she agreed to come back, then I feel like she’s excited about Jane’s new role. She could have easily said no. It’s not like Portman is having trouble finding work at this point in her career.

    She seemed excited at the panel, and I really doubt she phones this one in. Honestly, I’ve watched all of Taika’s shows/movies, and I’ve never seen an actor phone it in for him.

    Or it's a Sigourney Weaver and they backed up a dump truck full of cash to her house

    It’s because she didn’t want to do Thor 2. She is known to be done and didn’t want to be a part of it anymore

    You’ve got to imagine she saw Ragnarok and said I want to be a part of that. I bet she crushes it.

    We have all seen Portman’s capability on screen when she is committed to a role. We have also seen what Feige can do as far as long term vision. Also how Taiki can reinvent characters and get the most out of actors.

    Do you really think that combination is a 50/50 shot at a great Jane Foster Thor?

    Did they shed any light on this new Thor movie in regards to how large/minor Hemsworth will be?

    Is it going to be majority Natalie Portman and Hemsworth will be a minor character? Or more like a Batman & Robin-type dynamic?

    easy workaround to the question he had was Natalie Portman becoming the female Thor or jumping her straight into being the Valkyrie type of character that Jane currently is in comics

    Portman got pissed when Patty Jenkins wasn’t hired and phoned in her entire contract.

    I checked it when Fiege made that announcement and they were 5 million short. I wonder where that 5.5 million came from overnight.

    Well sure, but if you adjust for inflation Gone with the Wind beats all.

    What matters most is that Endgame's first run beat Avatar's first run. That was like a month ago. The rest has been window dressing.

    I know nothing about Polygon but IM2 falling so low because Stark is a womanizer, and BP being #2, tells me just about everything I need to.
