And Jane will be no simpering damsel in distress either with the powerful hammer in hand. “In previous films, Jane was a scientist who needs help being saved by Thor, but in this film, she’s seeking her own solutions and taking her own journey. She’s fighting alongside Thor and they’re a team, but Jane is very much paving her own path, which has been really exciting,” added Portman, who had to famously bulk up for the role. “It was really fun to get to train, for the first time in my life, to be strong. As women, we’re usually training to get as small as possible, so it’s exciting to work towards being bigger. I worked with a great trainer, Naomi Pendergast, and also trained with the whole stunt team,” she added.
