Back in April it was announced that Tessa Thompson (Creed) had joined the cast of Thor: Ragnarok, with reports suggesting that Natalie Portman would not be returning as Dr. Jane Foster for the God of Thunder’s third solo outing.
Well, Marvel chief Kevin Feige has now confirmed Portman’s absence to Empire, stating that: “[There are] many reasons. Many of which are in the film so you will see that. There are only a couple of scenes on Earth in this movie. 80 to 90 percent takes place in the cosmos.”
Are you disappointed that we won’t be seeing Natalie Portman in Thor: Ragnarok? Let us know in the comments below…
