Natalie Portman

Posted July 7, 2022, 3:04 p.m.. Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi has stated that he's working with Disney on a new Star Wars film that will ...

For a long time, the director has stated that he's in the midst of writing the script for his film, which will revolve around new characters in the series. And looking at the fair share of stars Waititi has worked with over the years, he doesn't seem to be lacking any options. While he doesn't have a complete script yet, Waititi has looked around Hollywood for some actors, who will be part of his cast.

However, actress Natalie Portman recently revealed that a ton more was cut from the highly anticipated upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder.

Portman went on to say that unlike other films, it felt like the team behind Thor: Love and Thunder had too much great stuff to include. Last month, Bale revealed that both Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey were cut from the film, as well Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster, who Bale mentioned having shot a scene with all of them. However, actress Natalie Portman recently revealed that a ton more was cut from the film.

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied have been married since 2012. Here is a complete timeline of their relationship.

Portman later helped recruit Millepied to choreograph the film's dance routines. While Portman and Millepied have worked together on several occasions, Millepied told Vanity Fair that for the most part, they try to keep their careers separate. At the awards ceremony, Portman won Best Actress for her role in Black Swan and gave Millepied a sweet shoutout during her acceptance speech. Before the arrival of their second child, the couple stepped out for L.A. Dance Project's annual gala, where Millepied took the stage to host. It was really special and making it was really wonderful and so fun. One of those ways includes date nights, although Millepied joked that the gala wasn't quite like their usual outings. In 2009, Portman signed on for a starring role in Black Swan, while Millepied was hired to choreograph the film. They began to fall for each other as Millepied taught Portman to dance, and by the time filming wrapped, they were dating. "It's one of the most exciting places to be in the world right now. After quietly dating for about a year, Portman's reps confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE that the actress and Millepied were engaged — and expecting their first child! "Ben was exceptionally thoughtful and dedicated and patient to make sure we had everything right," said Wolf of the ring, which was made from recycled platinum and features an antique diamond. Although they did not walk the carpet together, Portman was spotted inside the event.

Did Taika Waititi actually forget that Natalie Portman, who starred as Padme Amidala, was previously in the Star Wars franchise?

Just last week, rumors swirled about the future of his very own Star Wars film, fueled by Waititi’s statement to the New York Times that: Have you ever wanted to be in a Star Wars movie?” She said, “I’ve been in Star Wars movies.” I forgot about those ones. And I said “I’m trying to work on a Star Wars thing.

The Oscar-winning actor said she can't watch "Thor: Love & Thunder" without thinking of a certain retail outlet.

That’s an amazing challenge — and also state of mind as a woman.” “Because I texted [director Taika Waititi], and I was like, ‘That Glendale parking lot stuff actually really worked!’” “It’s so wild to be on this size of movie, and we were literally in a parking lot with a blue screen, doing this really dramatic thing.”

Natalie Portman returns to the MCU in 'Thor: Love and Thunder' where she takes on a bigger role. Here's how she built her superhero strength for the movie.

"We worked on building her upper body three times a week, which included arm, back, chest exercises, boxing, skipping and running," Pendergast said. She also explained that they had to fit it first around the pandemic and then around her busy schedule, which often meant conducting sessions at Portman's home as early as 4:30 a.m. Judging from the photos of Portman's godly biceps that have been circulating online prior to the release of the movie, it looks like she fulfilled the assignment.

In 'Thor: Love and Thunder,' Thor's former flame Jane Foster comes back with a new look and a new set of powers. Natalie Portman, Chris Hemsworth and Taika ...

“My favorite scenes were definitely the ones with Valkyrie,” said Portman. “Getting to work with a friend is so amazing because you get to bring all of your real affection and experience with that person to the characters, you’re not just pretending you have this relationship. It’s nice to have the ability to be human like that.” “It’s such a cool character and I feel like anything is possible.” Going from astrophysicist to a god presents quite the learning curve for Foster. “I think she’s a little overeager,” said Portman. “She jumps the gun on things. “I loved doing all of the stuff on wires,” she said. “It was cool because often you see these characters in all their glory and being heroes, but you don’t really get insight into who they are on a regular day,” he said. Obviously I had stunt doubles who did most of the really difficult stuff, but I did get to learn a bunch of the choreography.” To be tasked for the first time with taking up as much space as possible, when most of the time as women we’re asked to get as small as possible. And so he would demonstrate and help me figure out how to do that, as the expert of 10 years.” “It was quite easy to take on and off,” said Portman. “I think that’s the biggest deal, to have breaks, because it is quite heavy. “It’s nice to be able to answer that and bring her back, but in a more meaningful way. Case in point, Jane Foster (played by Natalie Portman), who was first introduced in 2011‘s “Thor” and returned two years later for “Thor: The Dark World.” She’s an accomplished astrophysicist and astronomer but is best known for being Thor’s ex-girlfriend.

Natalie Portman trained for 10 months straight and stuck to a strict high-protein meal plan in order to shape up for Marvel's "Thor: Love and Thunder."

And I present myself that way, too, because of that.” That’s an amazing challenge — and also state of mind as a woman.” When you’re small — and also, I think, because I started as a kid — a lot of times I feel young or little or, like, a pat-on-the-head kind of person. Pendergast shared that during filming, Portman would eat a vegan-based breakfast of oats and berries and a protein shake and her snacks on set would consist of fruit, nuts and salads. “She is focused, determined, and humble. “We also worked on stability and agility for injury prevention as Natalie had some dynamic stunt scenes that required her to move, twist and land in various positions.

We haven't seen Jane since "Thor: The Dark World" nearly a decade ago, and she only appeared in "Avengers: Endgame" in stock footage. It was thought that ...

"We'd rehearse the scene, they'd see the path, and then they'd build a path that was like one foot off the ground or whatever, and I would just walk on that," Portman said. As the Mighty Thor, however, Portman is able to experience what it's like to be larger than life. At 5'3, Natalie Portman is the personification of the Shakespeare line, "Though she be but little she is fierce."

With Jewish-Maori writer-director Taika Waititi's “Thor: Love and Thunder” she isn't simply back, this time she's wearing the Asgardian armor, zooming through ...

By the end of “Thor: Love and Thunder,” you may feel as if Waititi’s hammer is hitting you over the head. The battle scenes mostly look like video games, but are cut together with a fun ’80s rock score (a lot of Guns N’ Roses, a little Dio) and there’s a clever bit where the action enters a realm of shadow, so the movie is literally drained of its color. By now everyone knows to stick through a Marvel movie all the way to the end. Beyond the jokes — and the considerable screen presence of our two leads looking gorgeous — is a rote script about a baddie (played by Christian Bale) on a rampage killing gods who must be stopped. Usually, I am loathe to get up during a film to use the restroom or buy a pack of Twizzlers — but this is one where, quite frankly, a quick three-minute break might do it some good. There is also a plot about kidnapped children in a cage made of bones hurtling through space (really, I’m serious, this movie’s for kids) and Tessa Thompson’s character Valkyrie shows up from time to time on a winged horse. Waititi’s laid-back style, which he employed to better ends in “Thor: Ragnarok,” favors a surface humor that is overly reliant on an off-the-cuff delivery of unexpected juxtapositions and exaggerated reaction. These comedic reversals work well on, say, “The Office,” but for an action-adventure movie, it should be a garnish, not the main meal. One joke about Thor’s new weapon, an axe called Stormbreaker, being jealous of Mjölnir’s return to the scene is funny. NEW YORK — The assembled work of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been printing money and dominating culture since it began in 2008, but there’s been one noticeable thing lacking these last eight years. Sadly, Dr. Foster has stage four cancer, and the prognosis is quite poor. Her published work on wormholes (which she refers to by their more Jewish-sounding name of “Einstein-Rosen Bridges”) is popular enough that she sometimes spots people reading her book.

She continued: ‘It was fun to do it for the first time. I remember at the beginning, actually, everyone was kind of [thinking], “Uh oh. While attending the US premiere of the film in New York, Natalie said: ‘The voice is very particular… ‘Sure, there were some in the back of my mind when devising the looks, but no one particular name was direct inspiration. Stressing how much pain dancers endure in the real world, she said: ‘All dancers are always dancing with an extreme injury. I don’t really have any personal memories of the experience.’
