The first Thor movie (and the character's appearances in the various Avengers movies) was more than enough Thor for me, so I haven't seen any of the sequels. I couldn't believe how little chemistry Miss Portman had with any of her co-stars, and as a result was genuinely surprised they cast her in the "female lead" role. Not many people knew who Kat Denning was when the movie was released, or she would have been a far better choice.Oh, she was a stinker in Thor. So lacking in chemistry that they had to big up a romantic subplot with Kat Denning and another character in the second one... Notably, the Third Thor picture ups its game remarkably, part of which is the lack of the Portman character. Alas, I hear she's been recast as the lead in a new Thor where the character she played before becomes a female version of Thor. Surely too good an idea to waste on such a performer, given it pushes such boundaries (for the mainstream, anyhow). I'd hate to see such good source material ruined by a bad casting. but hey, maybe she'll surprise us all... I just fear it could all go a bit Catwoman.
