ThorLoveAndThunder director Taika Waititi regrets leaving Natalie Portman's JaneFoster out of Thor: Ragnarok, teases her MCU return as the Mighty Thor:
Taika Waititi made a mighty mistake with Thor: Ragnarok. The first-time Marvel director's 2017 sequel to Thor: The Dark World ended the across-the-stars romance between Thor Odinson of Asgard and Jane Foster of Midgard entirely off-screen, with only a passing mention of the franchise's leading lady."She didn't dump me. I dumped her," Thor scoffs in Ragnarok."It was a mutual dumping.
"It was part of the comic run by Jason Aaron, and it was something that we were always in love with when I was working on Ragnarok," Waititi said, referring to the All-New All-Different Marvel era that reinvented Jane Foster as The Mighty Thor."We were always talking about how cool that was. And part of me on Ragnarok really wished that Natalie could be part of that, and then when [Marvel] said 'we want to bring her back,' it all just made sense.
In 2016, Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige told the Empire Film Podcast that Portman's absence was due to"many reasons, many of which are in the film, so you will see that." A cosmic road trip that reunited Thor and work friend Hulk in space, Feige explained at the time that"there are only a couple scenes on Earth in [Ragnarok]. The majority, 90, [95] percent of the movie takes place in the cosmos.
