Thor Love and Thunder: Director Taika Waititi Reveals Jane Foster’s ‘Mighty Thor’ Fighting Style

Thor: Love and Thunder Jane Foster


Marvel Studios is putting the last touches on filmmaker Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder, the second of three MCU films set to hit theatres this year. The MCU now has a fascinating new story to tackle on Earth and throughout the cosmos, with both Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman's heroes taking up the mantle of Thor.

After a nine-year absence, the studio has finally released the second full trailer for Thor 4, offering fans a taste of what Portman will be up to now that she's proven herself worthy of wielding Mjolnir. Even though this does not imply that Jane will permanently assume the role of Thor, her impact will be felt immediately as she reunites with her ex-boyfriend in this new standalone drama.

Of course, just because two characters share the same mantle doesn't imply they'll battle in the same method, which goes beyond Hemsworth's Stormbreaker hero and Portman's Mjolnir worth. The sequel's director recently revealed more information about how those variances will make each hero distinct in their own manner.


Differences in Fighting Styles Between Portman and Hemsworth

Director Taika Waititi described how Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman's Thors differ in terms of fighting tactics in the latest issue of Total Film.

Waititi spoke for millions Marvel fans when he said that Jane Foster's Thor is "really cool":

"She's towards the top. Anyone who has read those comics knows how awesome Mighty Thor is."

Portman's fighting style has "a feeling of ballet when she fights," according to the director. While they aren't quite like Hemsworth's original Thor, Waititi hailed them as "awesome" in their own right:

"The fighting style differs significantly from Thor's. You have to play to people's strengths, because Natalie clearly dances and has done ballet and other things. When she fights, it has a dance-like air to it. It's quite precise and fluid. She's cool, but not in the same way that Chris is. He employs brute strength..."

 

As Thor, Portman brings her own unique style to the role


Given how different Jane Foster and Thor have become during their MCU journeys, it's only natural that Jane's fighting style would differ from what fans have seen with Chris Hemsworth for more than a decade.While Hemsworth's Thor fights are mostly based on his height and power, Natalie Portman's Thor will bring something fresh to the table with the dance style of fighting outlined by Waititi in his statements. Jane also demonstrated some fairly handy talents with Mjolnir as the fractured shards dispersed and brought down her adversaries in the second trailer, even if she is now more bulked up for her new position.

When Thor 4 is released in its entirety, more of these changes will be underlined, but anticipation is already rising to see what Portman's new version of Jane Foster will accomplish with her new god-like abilities. Add in a tense relationship with Mjolnir's former wielder and a personal struggle with cancer, and you've got yourself a compelling story, both from an action and emotional angle.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
