To wit: actors just can’t resist that sweet, sweet Marvel money. Even the big names:
“[Chris] Hemsworth is returning to the title role, alongside Natalie Portman, returning as Jane Foster, and taking on the mantle of Mighty Thor; Tessa Thompson, returning as Valkyrie; Jaimie Alexander as Sif; Karen Gillan as Nebula; Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Sean Gunn as Kraglin; Waititi himself as Korg; Luke Hemsworth as Asgardian Thor actor; Sam Neill as Asgardian Odin actor; and Matt Damon as Asgardian Loki actor. They join newcomers Christian Bale, who will play Gorr the God Butcher; Melissa McCarthy, who will play Actor Hela; and Russell Crowe as Zeus.”
…I raised an eyebrow at the suggestion that Waititi is reusing the ‘actors recreating the last movie wheeze,’ but casting Melissa McCarthy as Hela is a good enough visual gag that I’ll allow it.

PS: Hmm. Do I want to see this one in 3D? I might, rabbit. I might.

They replaced Terrance Howard and he pulled wayyyy less shit than Natalie Portman did.
And frankly, she’s not very good.
No money for this one from me or my Fam. Theft or Library, won’t even give them the hits on hulu or whatever.
