Empire magazine of Portman’s last appearance in 2013’s “Thor: The Dark World.” “She’s had a whole other life, and then the love of your life comes back on the scene, and is now dressed like you. It’s a real mindf— for Thor.”Opening up about how the storyline came to be, the “Jojo Rabbit” filmmaker revealed that he drew on Jason Aaron’s “The Mighty Thor” comics from 2015, which first explored Jane’s superpowers.“I was writing and it was like, ‘Wouldn’t it be kind of cool to bring Jane back into the storyline?’ he said, adding, “You don’t want Natalie coming back and playing that same character who’s walking around with science equipment, you know, while Thor’s flying around, she’s left on Earth, tapping her foot going, ‘When’s he going to be back?’ That’s boring.
