Natalie Portman & Tessa Thompson On What It Really Takes to Act in the MCU – Thor: Love and Thunder

In the continuing discourse of superhero movies versus cinema, Thor: Love and Thunder’s Tessa Thompson ("King Valkyrie") and Natalie Portman ("Jane Foster" / "The Mighty Thor") describe the appeal of getting to play in the MCU from an acting perspective. Hint: it involves a certain "lack of dignity".

This Thor sequel is also a reunion of many kinds: Portman reuniting with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor as his love interest who gets to wield Mjolnir, but also real-life friends Portman and Thompson reuniting after working on Alex Garland’s Annihilation (2018). Both actors reflect on the differences of acting in movies of vastly different tones with your friends.
