Taika Waititi reveals that she made an awkward invitation to Natalie Portman

“Thor: Love and Thunder” director Taika Waititi is working on a new film in the “Star Wars” franchise and has revealed that he has given actress Natalie Portman an awkward invitation.

In an interview with the magazine rolling stoneWaititi spoke about initial talks to bring Natalie Portman back to Marvel as Jane Foster after the actress left the project. She commented on how Marvel boss Kevin Feige said he would like to bring Portman back and introduce The Mighty Thor, saying it didn’t take long to get the actress back.

However, the awkward part came later when Natalie Portman asked him what he would do next “Thor: Love and Thunder”. “I said, ‘I’m trying to work on a Star Wars thing. Have you ever wanted to be in a Star Wars movie? ‘”Waititi asked the actress.

But, of course, Natalie Portman has already participated in the Star Wars franchise and in a leading role. She “she said, ‘I’ve been in the Star Wars movies.’ I forgot about these [filmes]Waititi commented with a laugh.

Portman played Padmé Amidala, a political leader of Naboo and one of the main characters in the prequel trilogy, who appears in Episodes I, II and III. Padmé had a secret romance with Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who would later become Darth Vader, and gave birth to legendary twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.

For now, there isn’t much information on Taika Waititi’s “Star Wars” project, but perhaps it’s safe to say that Natalie Portman won’t be there.

“Thor: Love and Thunder” will be released in Brazilian theaters on Thursday 7 July.
