How do you make a comic book flick exciting for film critics? Well, first you make Shakespearean nut Kenneth Branagh the director. Then, you add a relative unknown as the lead. And, to top off the critic frenzy, you add indie film fave and all-around dramatic actress Natalie Portman as the love interest.
The 28-year-old Portman has been cast as Jane Foster, who was a nurse and first love of the title character in the Marvel Comics. According to Marvel Studios, the character is being updated for the movie version of Thor, in which the Norse warrior is cast down to Earth to live among humans.
Chris Hemsworth stars as Thor in the movie, which begins shooting early next year. It is due in theaters May 20, 2011.
What do y'all think? It will definitely be weird to see Portman in a superhero movie. I bet Greg is peeing his pants excited, though.
