Thor And Jane, On Or Off Before Age Of Ultron?

No Comments

Thor and Jane Foster currently form one of Marvel's most picturesque couple. Well, how could but picturesque - to say the least - be a relationship between an Asgardian prince and a physicist who's well ahead of her time?

So, clearly, for Thor and Jane mainstream is off the table. Talk about mixed couples! Bumps at every turn, interplanetary travels, universal evils to hold at bay! All that could put pressure on a relationship.

But the question is now: did their relationship run its course? In the light of the recent developments, as well as due to Natalie Portman's general attitude towards her contractual obligations to Marvel, we tend to say, well, yeah.

Thor and Jane, a thing of the past?

It's well known Natalie Portman was never so keen on reprising her role as Jane Foster in Thor: The Dark World. As to her role in Avengers: Age of Ultron, watch the short clip below, courtesy of Screen Rant, and convince yourself she's really not that invested in Jane's character.

Sure, she's polite and charming and whatnot, but playing Jane Foster seems like a compromise for Natalie Portman.

Plus, here comes the recently released sketch that took the web by storm a couple of days ago:

We heard correctly, right? He says "To my ex, Jane, how do you like me now", doesn't he?

Sure, the joke aside, perhaps Chris Hemsworth picks on the general mindset and delivers an answer to a question that wasn't explicitly phrased: are Thor and Jane still together?

Sure, narrative-wise, Jane could very well be slotted in any of the movies Thor himself appears. She's a scientist, and I believe she could make one hell of a team with Tony Stark and Bruce Banner in Avengers 2.

My point is if there's no future for Thor and Jane in Marvel stories as adapted for the big screen, it's not because plots won't allow it. Thor and Jane's future is decided from behind the scenes.

But, perhaps that's just a rough patch. And if Marvel and Portman strike a better deal, who knows, maybe we get to see Thor and Jane together again on the big screen.

What do you say, guys? Would you like to see the couple rekindle the flame? Do you think Portman will reconsider reprising her role as Jane? Have your say below, we'd love to hear your opinion!
