Marvel Studios' Thor: Love and Thunder teaser trailer was finally released along with an epic poster featuring Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder. But according to Natalie Portman's social media, Hemsworth is not the only Thor to exist, as the actress has revealed a brand-new poster that puts the spotlight on her character Jane Foster/Mighty Thor.
Making her MCU debut in 2011's Thor and last seen in 2013's Thor: The Dark World, Love and Thunder will showcase the astrophysicist and ex-lover of Thor taking up the mantle of the God of Thunder, a storyline which is loosely inspired by Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman's Thor comics.
The first colorful '80s-themed poster released with the Thor: Love and Thunder teaser features Hemsworth's Thor wielding his axe Stormbreaker and rocking a red leather vest. Now, Portman took to her Instagram to reveal a similar poster but this time with Jane replacing Hemsworth's Thor, and one that also sees her in her Mighty Thor outfit while also raising the iconic hammer towards the sky. While Hemsworth's poster tagline reads, "The One and Only," Portman's version says, "The One Is Not the Only."
Director Taika Waititi tried to keep the peace between the two, jokingly commenting on Portman's post, "the two and twonely." Hemsworth responded to the poster by offering his full support to Portman, saying, "Looks Mighty good on you." While there is no telling what Jane's transformation as the new hero means for Hemsworth's Thor, it appears that she will become one of the more prominent heroes moving forward in the expansive phase four.
There's great hope that Thor: Love and Thunder will carry over the same exciting energy from its predecessor and become a worthy addition to this ongoing universe. Other than Hemsworth and Portman returning once again, the film will also see Christian Bale make his MCU debut as Gorr the God Butcher, a tormented being whose hatred towards gods has led him to hunt down and kill all of the gods in the universe. The film will also explore Valkyrie's (Tessa Thompson) rule as the new king of Asgard.
The Guardians of the Galaxy group will also play a smaller role, as they were last seen teaming up with Thor at the end of Avengers: Endgame. Thor: Love and Thunder will also see the return of Jaimie Alexander as Sif and Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster.
Thor: Love and Thunder is set to release in theatres on July 8, 2022.
