Natalie Portman and the Marvel Cinematic Universe have a slighted history. The MCU has had to write around her absence in the last few Thor appearances, but now, it looks as if things are changing. In a recent tweet, director Taika Waititi posted a peculiar image, that might hint at the return of Natalie Portman. Could Jane Foster return for Thor: Ragnarok?

The tweet had two images of Portman, one when she was age 13 in Leon: The Professional, and the other of her at age 19 from the film Where the Heart Is. The image as had the caption, “Heed the signs” and ‘#Ragnarok’. Does this mean that she will appear in Thor: Ragnarok?

Check out the tweet below:

Portman previously stated that she was done with the franchise. She wasn’t on the set in Australia. With reports (via Mark Ruffalo) that reshoots for Thor: Ragnarok are about to take place, could this mean that Portman will shoot her scenes then? Will Portman just appear in a flashback or a cameo, or will her role be a bit larger for Ragnarok?

Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok – the destruction of his home world and the end of Asgardian civilization – at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger – The Incredible Hulk!”
