Natalie Portman has been cast as the female lead in Thor, Marvel Studios’s live-action film due out in theaters on May 20, 2011.

According to THR, the 28-year-old actress has been cast to star as Jane Foster, who in early comic book lore was a nurse who became Thor’s first love.

Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth has already been chosen to play thunder god Thor. Tom Hiddleston is set to play Loki, the god of mischief.

Mark Protosevich developed a script for a live-action Thor film. He plans to be "a superhero origin story, but not one about a human gaining super powers, but of a god realizing his true potential. It's the story of an Old Testament god who becomes a New Testament god".

Marvel Studios also announced in May 2009 that Loki would be played by actor Tom Hiddleston and that Chris Hemsworth will play Thor.

The film has a scheduled release date of May 20, 2011.
