Yes, the MCU is going to replace all white male characters with characters who are black, female, or both. All of them.

And the people who have already been replaced, or are in the process of being replaced, have nothing to do with actors wanting out of their respective roles. No, they'd all like to live out the rest of their careers playing costumed heroes. They're being forced out by diversity.

:/

I can't tell if he's being sarcastic because it's Skye.

I'm pretty sure he's being facetious

Didn't she rage quit the MCU because of some director or something? And now after they tried to write around her so many times she wants to step in and be Lady Thor? lol


She pushed them to hire Patty Jenkins (who directed Wonder Woman). They did and everything was good until they fired Patty for not real specified reasons other than "creative differences".

So Portman fulfilled her contract and didn't re-up. She didn't quit.


That was also a different Marvel Studios, under the reign of Ike Perlmutter. Maybe she's willing to give Marvel a second chance because Kevin Feige is in charge now.

Thor's thing is done and Hemsworth is probably better off being a cameo in future movies like GotG 3 and having a secondary role in this.

It's either do this or not make one at all, otherwise Thor 4 seems be too forced to be Hemsworth only.

Unlike comic readers, movie audiences will respond better to "woke" Marvel. So I could see Lady Thor succeeding even though she was a failure in comics.


You think this would succeed as a movie?

Anyone who thinks Natalie Portman is a bad actor needs to get their brain checked. There are *maybe* a handful of actors who are more talented than she is in the MCU (Josh Brolin, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Andy Serkis come to mind off the top of my head, but the list of people better than her is SHORT).

Now, the writing for her character in the Thor movies was dogshit, but that doesnt make her a bad actor.

I don't care about Lady Thor one way or the other really.
But my god why more of Padme? Why her as Thor? She never gave a shit about the role. She sleepwalked through the movies. And like I said about her in Endgame. The use of her in Endgame was the best use of Natalie Portman I've ever seen. She's in the background and keeps her mouth shut the whole time.

She may not be a bad actor but her acting was bad in the Thor movies. Her desire to not be in the movies only added to the reasons why those movies ended up consistently one of the worst of the MCU. Good actors can make bad movies passable. I'd rather Marvel find a new actress then promote someone who actively tried to hurt their product.

The one thing this has going for it is the director and hopefully some decent writers.

Comic writers have been shit for the better part of a decade and a half now. They were able to salvage Civil War into a decent film.

But, I still don't care about Lady Thor and I don't like Portman for this role. Like someone else said, I would have rather just had Valkyrie become "Lady Thor" at this point.

Her character isn't particularly memorable, so I'm not sure how well that will translate to a starring role. She has obvious star power, but they'll need to rework the character severely to make her interesting enough to hold a movie.

This

Thats ony of my biggest gripes about these films. They go for so called "star power" rather than proper casting sometimes

Like they couldve got a female athlete or something to play Cpt Marvel. Instead they chose Brie Larson who looks like a 5 year old in a halloween costume rather than the strong, fit Cpt Marvel herself

Marvel movies are the Call of Duty of movies. They're mediocre movies with high funding that appeal to a broad audience.

They all do well because they're designed to make money.

I have no issue with this. MCU viewers are like 10% comic readers. Any comparison of them together seems useless. Even though I wasnt reading Thor when Jane became Thor I dont doubt this movie will succeed. MCU audiences have proven theyll give anything Marvel Studios does a chance. After that well see how well it does.

Apparently Natalie Portman agrees with you and that's why or part of why she didn't continue on. She wanted to play an actual meaningful character instead of just Thor's love interest.

I like Natalie Portman, but I agree I don't want to see her totally replace Hemsworth as Thor. If they have her become the Thor of Earth while Thor is off in space having adventures with the Guardians (and hopefully Beta Ray Bill) that would be okay I guess.

For real though, Beta Ray Bill better be in this fucking movie.
