Marvel fans were in for a treat today as the first look of Natalie Portman’s Mighty Thor armour in Thor: Love and Thunder was revealed. But it wasn’t the makers who revealed the anticipated look. Twitter user Thor: Love and Thunder News @lovethundernews posted photos of leaked merchandise where Thor, Jane, and Valkyrie can be seen in their battle armour.

In the photos shared in the Twitter post, Natalie Portman’s character Jane can be seen standing beside Thor and Valkyrie. All the characters seem to be wearing their battle armour. Jane’s armour looks very similar to the one she is seen wearing in the comics. Just like Thor, Jane’s Mighty Thor armour had a red cape and silver bodysuit. She can also be seen donning the winged helmet that is associated with the character from the comic books. Jane can also be seen carrying Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer, that was last yielded by Captain America in Avenger’s Endgame. Thor can be seen carrying his axe, Stormbreaker.

Fans of Marvel and Thor took to Twitter and expressed their excitement and thoughts about the leaked images. One of the fans wrote, “Ah! I'm so excited! I mean...it isn't our Jane, and I'll be sad about that, but it's nice to know the character wasn't embarrassingly abandoned entirely.” Another fan wrote, “I can't wait to see Natalie as Jane as Thor!” Some fans wished to see clearer shots of the look and said, “I hope we get some clearer shots of the look soon. Maybe just some clearer promo art. I’ll be happy with just that.”

Natalie Portman was last seen as Jane Foster in the movie, Thor: The Dark World. For the third instalment of the Thor series, Thor Ragnarok, Jane did not appear in the film. In the upcoming movie Thor: Love and Thunder, Jane will take on the role of Mighty Thor who will have similar powers as Thor. In the movie, Jane will be seen suffering from cancer.
