Natalie Portman's wish for a Mighty Thor and Captain Marvel team-up after the events of Thor: Love and Thunder could happen in Phase 5 of the MCU. Thor's fourth solo movie will premiere in theaters on July 8th. Natalie Portman was confirmed to be making her return to the MCU in 2019 when the latest Thor sequel was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con. Theorizing over what Portman would bring to the table immediately gained traction, as her return includes the reintroduction of Jane Foster as Mighty Thor.

In the comics, Jane Foster becomes Mighty Thor once she discovers she can wield Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, after a breast cancer diagnosis. Being able to lift Mjolnir gives her all the powers usually associated with Thor, including super strength, durability, speed, stamina, and the power to control lightning. She takes on the mantle of Mighty Thor in Thor's absence, but her transformations come at a cost. The more she wields the hammer, the further her cancer spreads. It's a heartbreaking tale but an impactful one, and merchandise for the movie seemingly confirms that this part of Jane's story will be included in Love and Thunder. Though Jane Foster's fate after the events of Love and Thunder can only be theorized at this point, Portman's comments about her potential future in the MCU provide interesting fodder for speculation.

In an interview at the Thor: Love and Thunder premiere, Natalie Portman stated that she loves Brie Larson's Captain Marvel and would like to see their stories collide in the future. This pitch isn't all that far-fetched. Both characters are based in the cosmic corner of the MCU, so a space-centric team-up between Mighty Thor and Captain Marvel is a definite possibility. The question that remains, then, is in which particular Phase 5 MCU project this crossover could occur.
