The actress underwent 10 months of intense exercise and a special diet
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed that Natalie Portman’s muscles in “Thor: Love and Thunder” aren’t special effects. In an interview with Total Film magazine, he said that the only changes made to the actress to become the Mighty Thor were her tricks to show her with greater height.
“The only thing we helped was making Almighty Thor a little taller,” Feige said. “That was the only cinematic magic we used. Everything else was all about him.”
The actress underwent 10 months of strenuous exercise – five of them before filming and five during production – with a professional specially hired by Marvel, who also fed her a diet of protein shakes.
In an interview with Variety, Portman celebrated acquired strength.
“We did some amazing stunts that made things really difficult, but there was still a lot of running and jumping and sword and hammer fighting. It sure helped to be strong,” he said.
The growth trick was much easier to do. At 1.60m tall, she said her character in the film had to be 20cm taller. And to make it look taller, the production built little ridges to walk on.
“We tried the scene, they saw the path and then they would build a higher section of the ground and I would just walk over it,” he revealed.
Written and directed by Taika Waititi (“Thor: Ragnarok”), the film will show how Jane Foster (Portman) takes on the powers of Thor and is scheduled for release on July 7 in Brazil, the day before its US release. .
