Tessa Thompson Joins Thor: Ragnarok, Natalie Portman Not Returning (New Diverse Thor Love Interest)
Coming Soon ^ | 4-11-2016 | Spencer Perry

Posted on 05/20/2016 5:56:06 PM PDT by ghosthost

Deadline brings word that Creed star Tessa Thompson is set to join Thor: Ragnarok as both a female hero in the film and Chris Hemsworth’s love interest. You might be thinking that Thor already has a love interest in the MCU in Natalie Portman’s Dr. Jane Foster, but THR takes it a step further and reveals Portman will not be returning for the film.

Ironically, Thompson is set to star in the Alex Garland film Annihilation with Portman before starring in the Marvel film. Thompson is also a series regular on HBO’s upcoming Westworld with the Allfather himself, Anthony Hopkins.

It’s unclear which hero Thompson will play in the film, but some potential characters include Valkyrie or perhaps the sometimes-good, sometimes-bad Amora the Enchantress.

Thor's New Love Interest was a star of the film- "Dear White People." I was really looking forward to Thor 3.

Read somewhere else that she is playing Valkyrie. I hope they have someone with blond hair, blue eyes playing Anansi the African Spider God.

The picture of her at the link shows a Thor worthy lovely lady that (too) many FReepers would be saying “I’d Hit It” over.

Portman was AWFUL. No chemistry. Not even remotely believable. Maybe some glasses would have helped.

Kinda surprised they didn't try to make it John Barrowman.

She is quite stunning. This does not help when she opens her mouth. Not every actress can perform well in an action film. She surely does not. I do hope this casting helps the film to have some kind of chemistry.

Natalie Portman is unconvincing as a heterosexual love interest. Obama's daughter as replacement is somewhat repellent. Perhaps "This Country Was Never Great" has left a bad taste in my mouth, but I'd just as well have a hammerless 2017.
