Natalie Portman is not capable to play non-boring role. Because thats her acting range. She has very little charisma. And no one cares to go and watch a movie just because Natalie Portman is in it.

She is extremely lucky that her agents got her role in Star Wars and Thor. Otherwise she would on '"Where are they now" list long time ago. Like Olrlando Bloom went the moment Pirates ended for him. But with clinging to Thor franchise she can stay somehow relevant on press.

She has no box-offcie appeal.

Horrible take that doesn't align with reality.

You think her agents had to do a lot to get her Thor, after Black Swan and an Oscar? Hemsworth had a much greater challenge getting his role. He auditioned, she didn't. She simply agreed to do it after reading the script, and b/c Branagh was directing. And they could've easily recast her after that tiff about Patty Jenkins not being involved in the sequel, just like with Norton and Ruffalo as Hulk, but they didn't. Waititi simply won her back. You're revising history and pretending the Thor thing was as popular back then as it is now. The first movie was a risk, and Portman lent legitimacy to a project that had a relative unknown in the lead.
