Not a lot of people were expecting Natalie Portman to ever make a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially when she’d previously been so dismissive about her involvement in the franchise following Thor: The Dark World. Taking one of the best actresses of her generation and saddling her as the one-note love interest of a superhero was endemic of the problems that have seen the God of Thunder’s first two solo outings become widely regarded as two of the weaker entries in the McU’s back catalogue.
However, after Taika Waititi boarded the ship and completely reinvented the Odinson in Ragnarok, which immediately led to him boasting the most interesting character arc across both Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Thor is now one of the most popular characters in the entire shared universe and Portman took surprisingly little convincing to make her unexpected return to Asgard in Love and Thunder.
