Thor's friends will not be limited to Valkyrie, Korg, and Jane Foster in Thor: Love and Thunder, as the film's latest poster indicates the return of another old buddy.

A closer look at the picture, published by Marvel Studios, reveals Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Jaimie Alexander's name among the cast members, revealing that her character Lady Sif will return in the God of Thunder sequel.Alexander's return to the role of Sif was initially confirmed in December 2020, with the article stating that she will play the character not only in Love and Thunder, but also in the Disney+ series Loki. Alexander would then post a photo of herself getting ready to go to Australia to begin production on Love and Thunder in early 2021, then hint in an Instagram story that she would return as Sif, adding, "The woman has returned... and she is here to stay."


Prior to this, the poster announced that main actor Chris Hemsworth will also serve as executive producer on Love and Thunder.Hemsworth is not the only MCU actor to take on this job; his Avengers franchise co-star Scarlett Johansson also served as EP on her picture Black Widow.

Aside from the return of Sif, Natalie Portman's Jane Foster will play the Mighty Thor, with director and co-writer Taika Waititi noting that the film would stay true to Jane's tale from the original comics. Waititi himself indicated that Jane's new persona might not be permanent when he said, "I believe many people would assume, 'Oh, OK, this is the passing of the torch,'... I'm not privy to Marvel's future intentions, but I don't believe that's the case."

The Guardians of the Galaxy, who, like Thor, were last seen in 2019's Avengers: Endgame, will also be included in Love and Thunder. "I enjoy working with Chris Hemsworth," Peter Quill/Star-Lord actor Chris Pratt said of reconnecting with the Thor star. "In real life, he is comparable to Thor. He's the kindest guy ever. Super-funny. He works quite hard. It was fantastic. I had a great time filming [Thor: Love and Thunder]. I'm very thankful they took us along. It was amazing to see him bring this to Australia and shoot it there with all of his fellow Australians. And with the eccentric director Taika Waititi. His fashion sense is one-of-a-kind."

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

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.

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
