There is great anticipation for Jane Foster’s transformation into Mighty Thor.
And two promo art from Thor: Love and Thunder offer us a preview of both the costume worn by Natalie Portman and the new clothes of Chris Hemsworth .
Jane’s costume has the mask like in the comics, while the armor is a little different, and is reminiscent of Thor’s ; notice the blonde hair, which is part of her metamorphosis. The new uniform of the son of Odin is instead played on shades of purple and gold, and returns to have his arms uncovered. Obviously Thor wields Stormbreaker , since Mjolnir is in Jane’s hands : the latter will prove to be worthy of lifting him, as in the stories of Jason Aaron , where, moreover, the woman is suffering from breast cancer. We do not know if this aspect will be included in the plot of the film.
You can see the images below, but first I remind you that the American release of Thor: Love and Thunder has been postponed to July 8, 2022 .
