Natalie Portman will return to the Thor franchise with elevated status as a female version of the superhero.
The news was announced as part of the star-studded panel that saw Marvel Studios reveal every new film it will release from 2020, including a solo outing for Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, a sequel for Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and The Eternals, which will star Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden.
