Natalie Portman had to go through a 10-month training routine to wield the Mjolnir hammer in “Thor: Love and Thunder”. Trainer Naomi Pendergast, hired by Marvel to help the actress gain muscle mass, recounted details of how Jane Foster’s performer became powerful in an interview with Variety magazine.
“We started five months before shooting and continued training throughout the production process to maintain his muscles. Total training time was around 10 months,” he said.
Pendergast explained that the preparation began with exercises to strengthen body mass and joints, and then built the abdominal muscles and strong arms that will be the envy on the screens. The training sessions lasted from 1h30 to 2h per day.
“We worked on her body three times a week, with exercises for arms, back, pectorals, as well as boxing and running sessions. The other two days of the week were dedicated to fracture prevention, which included pilates exercises, stretching, massage and balance, “He added.
The coach also said that Portman already had a balanced and healthy diet, so there was no need to change his routine. The only detail was that since the star is vegan, it was necessary to add protein supplements to complete the diet.
In the new movie, Thor will meet Jane, his old girlfriend, in an unexpected way: blonde, powerful, with her magic hammer and in her place as the new Thor.
Unfortunately, he will also encounter a new dangerous and extremely lethal opponent: Gorr, the Butcher of the Gods, played by Christian Bale (formerly Batman).
Directed by Taika Waititi (from “Thor: Ragnarok”), “Thor: Love and Thunder” will be released on July 7 in Brazil, one day before its US release.
