"Thor: Love and Thunder": How Thor Will Become a Woman
The last few Marvel movies put Thor through a rough time. His hammer Mjolnir and the world of Asgard were both destroyed in Thor: Ragnarok, most of the surviving Asgardians were killed in the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War, and he gained a ton of weight in Avengers: Endgame. The last we saw him, Thor had joined the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Many speculated that this was the end of Thor's traditional role, and a few even speculated that Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) would be taking over since she was named ruler of New Asgard. Instead, Natalie Portman (who has played Jane Foster in the series) will take up the hammer. This announcement wasn't as big a surprise as it could have been to comic book fans, because they already went through the initial shock of seeing a female Thor in the comics.

It's unknown how much of the All-New Thor storyline will be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it's exciting to see how Marvel paved the way for diversity in the comics and is leading the same charge in the movies.
