The film, Waititi says, is inspired by his recent readings of The Mighty Thor series and female Mighty Thor. Yes, that’s right, Portman will BE LADY THOR.

Once she appeared onstage, Waititi handed Portman Moljinir in the delightfully ceremonial way seen above, offering her the hammer on his knees.

“That story line is incredible is full emotion, love and thunder and introduces for the first time female Thor,”  said Waititi. 

Thor: Love and Thunder joins Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, alongside Eternals, a Doctor Strange sequel and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
