The new film is a direct sequel to Thor: Ragnarok, and fans of the series are expecting to see Natalie Portman as a second Thor called Mighty Thor. Thor, usually played by Chris Hemsworth, is known for his mighty muscled physique, so it's only natural Portman followed suit.
Portman, who usually has a petite figure at just 5ft 2in, looks beefed up for her character's storyline and her new muscles have surprised movie fans.
One fan tweeted: "I did not call Natalie Portman getting so yoked for her role in THOR LOVE AND THUNDER that we'd have to consider her induction into the BAD ASS list, but here we are."
Another joked: "If Thor: Love and Thunder doesn't have a scene where Natalie Portman is doing arm curls as vocalizations of Aerosmith's Janie's Got a Gun intensifies, then I'm going to burn down the world [sic]."
On Reddit, one user commented: "...damn, she's looking impressive. As a person who wasn't really a fan of her being Thor, I was 100% wrong and I think she's gonna kill it."
Keen fans have also reminded everyone that Natalie's character is not Thor, but a version of him.
This is your reminder that Natalie Portman is Jane Foster. She is not Thor. Her character is The MIGHTY Thor in the new Love and Thunder movie. MIGHTY. That's important.

Has Natalie Portman "bulked up" for the new Thor?
