CINEMA – Natalie Portman is already defending her character. American actress Natalie Portman unveiled, not without humour, an alternative poster to the one unveiled on Monday for the release of the trailer for the new film Marvel“Thor Love and Thunder”.
On Instagram, the one who plays Jane Foster in the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe kindly made fun of the star behind the Norse god, Chris Hemsworth. “And you thought you were the one and only,” she wrote alongside this poster replacing Thor with Mighty Thor, the female version of the character.
The subtitle of the poster is also slightly modified to stick to this new iteration of the character from Norse mythology. “The one and only one” becomes “The one is not the only one” .
Indeed, in this fourth part of the franchise, Natalie Portman will not be content to embody love affair of the thunder god since she herself will become a female incarnation of the superhero, as revealed by the very last images of the trailer for the film “Thor Love and Thunder”, at the cinema on July 13.
This poster is also a way for the actress to further legitimize her place in this film as the female version of the character.
Since the announcement of his return to the Marvel films to much fanfare at San Diego ComicCon in the summer of 2019, a section of “fans” opposed to more diversity in superhero movies railed against the idea of the movie franchise replacing the superhero. hero by a version embodied by a woman, even though this version is directly inspired by the comics. A version where Jane Foster is also suffering from cancer but becomes worthy of lifting the famous hammer Mjølnir.
