Jane Foster

Yawn. Is there a more boring character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe than Jane Foster?

Foster is the first character in the list who has not only been depicted badly by the writers in the films she has been in, but she’s also been very lazily portrayed by the actress playing her – Natalie Portman.

Having appeared in the Thor movies – and having been notably absent from the Avengers: Age of Ultron – Portman has spoken out about how she doesn’t like working for Marvel and it shows in her performances. She looks disinterested and as if she thinks she is above the role – when, quite frankly, she’s actually not.

The comic book version is far more interesting, passionate, courageous and caring and after having been diagnosed with breast cancer, actually replaced Thor as the powerful wielder of Molnir. Could you honestly ever see that happening with the Natalie Portman version of the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? No? We thought not.
