Taika Waititi opens up about how he convinced Natalie Portman to return for ThorLoveAndThunder, explaining that he gave her 'a bit more license to be adventurous and fun.'
Taika Waititi discusses how he convinced Natalie Portman to return as Jane Foster for Thor: Love and Thunder after the character's less than exciting depiction in past films. Waititi is an Academy Award-winning screenwriter who first rose to prominence for his New Zealand-centric films such as 2010's Boy and 2016's Hunt for the Wilderpeople before rejuvenating Marvel's Thor series with Ragnarok in 2017.
