In an interview with the version of Vaniity Fair in Spain, Natalie Portman revealed how she was preparing to become Jane Foster: The Mighty Thor.
“It was fun. I worked with a trainer, Naomi Pendergast, I think for four months before we started shooting and then obviously throughout the shoot.”
Portman detailed how he helped himself to mark his muscles to wear the Mighty Thor outfit in Taika Waititi’s next film.
“We did a lot of weight training and I had a lot of protein shakes, it was a heavy weight workout, something I had never done before. Of course, my goal was never to get beefy. It was all very physical, so we worked a lot on strength and agility.”
