Natalie Portman says Thor: The Dark World being a critical flop didn't affect her decision to return to the MCU
Spoken like someone who was in the Star Wars prequels!

Though the upcoming Thor: Love And Thunder is set to introduce some new faces to the nine realms, including Christian Bale as Gorr The God Butcher and Russell Crowe as Zeus, there’s certainly no shortage of intrigue when it comes to the return of Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster. After being absent during 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, the character is coming back in a big way: with her own superpowers, wielding the enchanted hammer Mjolnir.
Jane was introduced in 2011's Thor as an ambitious scientist who ends up becoming a little more involved with the titular character than she expects when the Asgardian prince falls to Earth. Portman reprised the role in the 2013 sequel Thor: The Dark World, which is widely considered to be one of the worst in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
