Thor Love and Thunder's leaked video reveals Natalie's painful transformation

Jane Foster might undergo a fairly tricky transformation to become the Goddess of Thunder, or at least that's just what a new video leaked from the sets of Marvel Cinematic Universe's upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder hint at. Actor Natalie Portman who's set to come back to the franchise after her brief appearance as Jane in Avengers: Endgame (2019), is a portion of the behind-the-scenes video that's doing the rounds of social media.

In the BTS video, you can see Natalie Portman hanging from a harness. Through the particular scene being filmed, the actor's body gestures and movement shows a probable transformation. The setup reminds us of the place where Odin met Thor and Loki in Thor: Ragnarok.

In the shot, Natalie seems to be struggling to survive the shock, a similar situation seen in various superhero movies when human characters get infused with special powers. We have previously seen something similar happening with Chris Evans' Steve Rogers when he was injected with the super-soldier serum in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).

The most recent video comes days directly after we saw Natalie Portman's leaked photographs from the sets, revealing her ripped arms, perhaps as the female Thor.

MCU's event film Avengers: Endgame brought curtains down on its first three phases, including a near-closure of Thor's track played by actor Chris Hemsworth. Marvel, while announcing its phase four and upcoming projects, revealed the return of Natalie Portman into the universe, reprising her Jane Foster, just that this time she'll be dealing with the mantle to become Goddess of Thunder, also wielding Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. The movie, which's currently under production, also stars the Guardians of the Galaxy actors Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista and others. Christian Bale will essay the role of the film's villain Gorr the God Butcher. Thor: Love and Thunder are slated to be released on February 11, 2022.
