The director is Kenneth Branagh. The villain is stage veteran Tom Hiddleston. And now Natalie Portman is the love interest.

Is "Thor" a comic-book movie or a Shakespeare adaptation?

Portman will join Branagh, Hiddleston and star Chris Hemsworth for Marvel Comics' version of the Norse god of thunder, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She'll play Jane Foster, in the comic books a nurse working for Dr. Donald Blake, who is secretly Thor.
