NATALIE PORTMAN - THOR: THE DARK WORLD, WAS FORCED TO TAKE ROLE WHICH SHE HATED

When Natalie Portman agreed to appear in Thor, it was already a well-known fact that Marvel Studios signed just about every actor who appeared in their movies to multiple-movie contracts.
They even signed Samuel L. Jackson to a multi-picture deal, and his first appearance as Nick Fury was only a post-credit cameo in Iron Man. Portman must have missed this little factoid, as she later wanted nothing to do with the Thor sequel when it came time time to film it. Of course, we can’t blame Portman for not wanting to appear in Thor: The Dark World. When development began in April 2011, Portman was still pregnant, and she had publicly stated several times that she wanted to take time off from film work to care for her child. In addition to that, Marvel fired Patty Jenkins, whom Portman had recommended to direct the movie, so that probably didn’t sit well with the actress either. But while there’s ample evidence to suggest that Portman may not have wanted to do the film, she has since denied that she was forced to appear in it.
