Marvel boss Kevin Feige announced at Comic-Con that Natalie would return as Jane Foster.

She becomes a female God of Thunder herself, when Thor is unable to lift his hammer due to apparent unworthiness ( which was explored in Avengers: Endgame).

Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson will return as Thor and Valkyrie.

Meanwhile Natalie sizzles in a black bra as she transforms into a pop superstar for her new flick Vox Lux.
