I voted for Portman as Jane-Thor, if they are going to go that route I would prefer they stick to Portman, and I have no doubt she could get in shape to be Thor if she did do it.
I don't know if it would really even be possible to turn a human into Thor in the MCU. He's pretty much just been Thor in the movies, without any kind of transformations into a human, so it would be a pretty big shift to suddenly introduce the idea of the female Thor changing back and forth from human. I could also see some possible, mistaken, sexist implications with the idea. Even when Thor didn't have the hammer in his first movie, he was still Thor, just not as powerful.
I think Reverend's idea of just giving the hammer to Sif, and still having her be Sif, would be much more likely than suddenly introducing the whole human/Asgardian transformation thing out of nowhere.
 
Movie Sif doesn't need Thor's Hammer.

In the movies, Thor isn't all that strong, and other than boomeranging Mjolnir doesn't do much.

When movie Thor summons Lightning, is that him, or the hammer? If it's him, he deserves to be The Thunder God, however, if any bugger holding that mallet can bring the Thunder, and call themselves a god, then I might as well be the "god of dirty keyboards" right now.

In this hypothetical scenario, it would just be similar to Thor's original comic origin. Jane Foster's walking stick becomes Thor's hammer when she touches it on the ground (I haven't read the comics so I don't know what's going on other than Thor's a woman). Portman could easily do this role with Thor's body being CGI enhanced so I say roll with it and let's get a female Thor.
 
For the first YEAR, it was a massive mystery.

We didn't know who Thor really was.

It was horribly infuriating.

:)

Boy Thor (bad guys cut one of his arms off, and he has a massive cursed axe.) was LARPing Clue (the board game) trying to sleuth who the #### stole his hammer, somewhat because he kinda wanted it back, and also because he was cosplaying Cinderella (Magic Hammer = Glass slipper.) and it's half a step up from wanking to seduce your twin who is not a blood relative.

Here's the bizarre hero paradox for Jane. How the body switching enchantment works is that as Jane returns to Mortality, it cures her of chemotherapy, while ignoring the cancer, because cancer is natural and chemotherapy is a quarter gallon of poison twice a month.

Being Thor is killing the poor woman. :(
 
I hope they stick with the current Thor for a good while but down the line, if they want to switch in a female character, I'd rather them get someone else to do it. Portman can still be Jane but she doesn't have the build/energy to be Thor.
 
I don't know why Thor has left again, but ten or twelve years ago he died in the Ragnorak story line so I fully expect him to die at the end of the next movie.
 
Even before the first movie, I'd heard that Portman didn't like the Marvel movies and only did the sequels because she was contractually obligated to. That's also why she wasn't in The Avengers.

That said, I like the idea of Portman in the role, but Sif would be better, or Darcy. But I don't think Hemsworth will leave any time soon.

And I would prefer a Spider-Gwen movie first, preferably with Emma Stone.
 
I can't believe I'm about to say this (as I generally hate recasting), but if Portman doesn't want to come back, they should recast the role of Jane, because I think the potential in having her take up Thor's mantle in the MCU is too delicious not to explore.
 
They wouldn't be exploring it with the character they set up with Portman so... pass. If recasting is necessary, it may as well be a new character.

What makes you say that? Don Cheadle is playing the same Rhodey that Terrance Howard played, and the same goes for Mark Ruffalo and Edward Norton's Bruce Banner. Why would it be any different for a Jane Foster played by a different actress?
 
Peggy being brought back from the dead with Asgardian magic?

She'd definitely wind up being at least Thor adjacent.

And we could flash back to her Adventures with Asgardians in the 1950s.

Imagine if there's some grudge between Hela, the Goddess of death and Peggy?

Dying was not a good idea.

Imagine Peggy pistol whipping the death goddess "Bring back Steve Rogers! Bring back my Boyfriend or I'm going to make you swallow your stupid hat!"
