‘It’s going to be really silly and funny and great,’ Natalie recently said of the project.

Explaining how she was approached for the film, she told ET last year: ‘They came to me with the idea and said, “We have this idea for you that was a storyline in some of the comics where Jane becomes Lady Thor,” and I was like, “This is very exciting!”‘

Natalie appeared in 2011’s Thor and the 2013 sequel Thor: The Dark World, but skipped 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok.
