A challenge that Portman has embraced with pleasure, reaping “significant benefits also as a woman” as she confessed.

The actress defined her role in the new chapter dedicated to Thor in contrast to that interpretation that earned her an Oscar.

This is an incredible challenge, and also a new state of mind as a woman “.

For Thor: Love and Thunder Natalie Portman had to get involved

It was a revelation for her because it was like stepping out of her own element: “To have this appearance and be seen as big, you realize it’s so different to walk around the world like this” and she added “when you are little – and I think it comes from the fact that I started acting as a child – many times I feel young and small, the kind of person to slap on the head. And this leads me to see myself and introduce myself like this “.

The actress also responds to the numerous reviews and criticisms that this film, which will be released in theaters on July 6, has received: “No, they didn’t bother me. I mean, I also made it with The Professional [Luc Besson’s 1994 thriller, known as Leon in Europe]. He was massacred by critics and is now beloved. That movie and Star Wars are two examples of movies that when they came out, I thought: ‘Oh, my God, it’s going to be a disaster and then, 20 or 30 years, you love them later, “concludes Natalie Portman.

Star Wars and the desire of Wesley Snipes: will the Blade actor be in the saga?

The actor, who has played the role of Blade in three films, has revealed a burning desire for him.

Star Wars is an increasingly complex franchise, even though a very long time has passed since the arrival of the first film in the saga (we are talking about 45 years, in 1977 A New Hope was released). That said, over the years, this science fiction universe, initially conceived by George Lucas, has involved more and more names from the world of entertainment in the most varied projects.

And while, just yesterday, the possibility of seeing actress Millie Bobby Brown, Eleven of Stranger Things in Star Wars was discussed, another well-known Hollywood star also discussed the opportunity to enter the galaxy far, far away.

We are referring, in particular, to Wesley Snipes, a famous African American actor who during his career is best known for having played the role of Blade in three films: Blade (1998), Blade II (2002), and Blade: Trinity (2004). ). In detail, the artist, interviewed by ComicBook, confessed.

Well, it would have been nice to be part of the Star Wars universe. Clearly, I’m a fan of the 70s. I remember going to the theater, I had no idea what my friend was taking me to see, and mad at him for taking me there initially, because I thought there was a Kung Fu movie it was a much better choice, and then being totally immersed in the world they created, amazed at how they made it, inspired by an actor’s point of view. It would have been fun to be a part of it.

Well, what about? The doors of Lucasfilm are also potentially open for Snipes, also because the franchise lately is expanding in completely new and experimental directions. We must therefore see what the future of Star Wars holds.

That said, at present, the mighty wizard is one of the few left after Avengers: Endgame, but we’re actually not sure about his future on the big (or small) screen. Although at the end of Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness it is clear that the figure will return later, Marvel it is not always sure of the fate of the characters.

I hope so. I’d like to do another one. Doctor Strange is such a complex character and there seems to be a lot more to explore with him. He is such a brilliant character and I’m still having fun playing him.

Marvel Studios boss and beefy actor want to give the Norse superhero another chance.

Thor is certainly one of the most iconic and appreciated characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the Norse god of thunder, played by Chris Hemsworth (Tyler Rake, Spiderhead), made his debut within the universe of The House of Ideas in 2011, at the inside of Phase 1 of the Marvel Strategic Plan.

Well, over the years, the character has encountered several changes, and, especially with Thor: Ragnarok (2017), there have been some big changes. Now that Thor: Love and Thunder, also directed and written by Taika Waititi, is coming, many thought that the superhero was about to end his life on screen, but in reality, this aspect is not so obvious.

Specifically, in interviews reported by Heroic Hollywood, the two were particularly optimistic. In detail, Hemsworth said he loves Thor very much but is also ready to retire when the time is right to do so.

Whenever the opportunity presents itself and presents itself, I am simply open to any creative exploration that may happen, thanks to different writers and directors and so on. But I like playing the character, really. […] I’d like to go out before people tell me to go out.

The boss of The House of Ideas, however, relied on the fact that there are still so many stories of Thor that need to be explored and that could actually take hold on the big screen.

I know: there are many, many more Thor stories in the comics that we talk a lot about. And as we watch Chris Hemsworth continue to grow and evolve as a leading acting talent, I’d be thrilled to see how he continues to evolve this complex character.
