Thor: Love and Thunder co-writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson revealed much of the film that was added during reshoots.
Natalie Portman has returned to the MCU as Jane Foster after a nine-year absence. Since Portman was notably absent in Ragnarok and the avengers movies, the rift between Thor and Jane took place off-screen.
Thor and Jane’s messy breakup
In Thor: Love and Thunder, the audience finally learns what happened between Jane and Thor in a hilarious montage sequence. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, love and thunder co-writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson revealed that this footage was added late in the game:
“That was all Taika. It’s something that Taika designed in the additional photography and they shot after they shot the main movie. There’s certainly been a lot of back and forth about what happened. What do we want to show? It wasn’t just conversations with Taika, but conversations with Chris and Natalie. Really trying to flesh out, ‘How much do we want to show? How many ex-girlfriends are there against Mighty Thor? Are you really trying to find a balance between Jane’s story and what should she focus on? Something that came to the surface was wanting to know more about the past of this relationship.
Here is the synopsis of Thor: Love and Thunder:
The film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on an unprecedented journey – a quest for inner peace. But his retreat is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi), and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magic hammer, Mjolnir, as Mighty. Thor. Together they embark on a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s revenge and stop him before it’s too late.
Directed by Taika Waititi and produced by Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum, the solo Thor film stars Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Taika Waititi, Russell Crowe, Natalie Portman, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan , Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper.
