Marvel just made a lot of big announcements at San Diego Comic-Con, with a lot of them being focused on newer heroes. After all, Cap is retired and Iron Man is gone, leaving little of the original Avengers left. Some familiar faces are returning, but with a new twist. Black Widow is getting a prequel movie. Doctor Strange will be delving into the multiverse and will cross paths with Scarlet Witch. The biggest twist of all, though, is that Thor movies are getting Jane Foster back. And she’ll be taking up the hammer.
The news comes courtesy of Screenrant editor Rob Keyes, who live-tweeted the Marvel Studios panel. During the successive announcements, Marvel brought out some of the Thor cast. Tessa Thompson spoke briefly about Valkyrie’s future, saying she wants her newly crowned ruler of Asgard to find a queen. That led to the title reveal, Thor: Love and Thunder. That led to the announcement that Natalie Portman is back as Jane, and will also become Thor.
