Chris Hemsworth told Entertainment Weekly his character will enjoy being a single drifter and "solo cowboy" out in the universe. Then he'll meet Valkyrie.
Why not just bring back Jane? Here's Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige's take on it, to EW:
"We wanted Thor to encounter somebody that was near his equal and that his relationship with Jane may have evolved in unexpected ways in between 'The Dark World' and 'Ragnarok' and we wanted to pit him against a character who was much more his equal and in many ways his superior. Valkyrie is trying to not embrace any sort of Asgardian heritage that she has. Thor thinks maybe that will create a bond between them and, on the contrary, she wants to forget it all entirely."
Also last year, Portman told the Wall Street Journal she was basically phased out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "As far as I know, I'm done. I don't know if maybe one day they'll ask for an 'Avengers 7' or whatever I have no idea. But as far as I know, I'm done."
"Thor: Ragnarok" is scheduled for release on November 3.
