Taika Waititi Forgot Natalie Portman was in Star Wars and offered her Role in His Upcoming Star Wars Film

Taika Waititi, the director of Thor: Love and Thunder, has revealed that he is collaborating with Disney on a new Star Wars movie that will deepen the mythos of the well-known space property.

The director has always said that he is now working on the script for his movie, which would focus on brand-new characters from the series. Waititi has scoured Hollywood for some performers to join his cast even though he doesn't yet have a complete script. However, it appears that he asked the incorrect questions.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, director Taika Waititi discussed his conversation with Natalie Portman about bringing her back for Thor: Love and Thunder after she was unexpectedly left off of the director's first outing as the God of Thunder in Thor: Ragnarok.

Although the filmmaker said it wasn't difficult to persuade her to come back, he made a mistake later by asking whether she would be interested in playing a part in his Star Wars movie even though she is already a part of the franchise.


"What will you do next, Natalie questioned me? I said, "I'm attempting to work on something Star Wars-related. Have you ever wished you could appear in a Star Wars film? I've appeared in Star Wars films, she claimed. Those are the ones I overlooked."

For those who are not aware with the history and universe of Star Wars, Natalie Portman made her debut in the prequels as Padmé Amidala, also known as the Queen of Naboo. She made her film debut alongside Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker in George Lucas' Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. She falls in love with Anakin during the prequels, and she dies while giving birth to their twins, Luke and Leia, in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

With Natalie already in the Star Wars universe, it appears that Waititi may have to settle for another actress. And, based on the list of celebrities with whom Waititi has collaborated over the years, he doesn't appear to be short on options.

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. 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...
