The lovely Natalie Portman is set to play the female lead in Kenneth Branagh's upcoming big-screen adaptation of “Thor" for Marvel Comics.

The Hollywood Reporter says Portman will play Jane Foster, who became Thor's first love. Apparently, her character will get a makeover of some sorts for this project.

In the film, Thor, a powerful warrior, reignites a devestating war, causing him to be sent to Earth to live among humans. Shortly after, a ruthless villain names Loki plans to invade the planet.

Chris Hemsworth is set to play Thor, with Tom Hiddleston on-board as Loki. Mark Protosevich wrote the script for the film, set to open May 20, 2011.

Portman ("V for Vendetta") will soon be seen in "Borthers." She also recently joined David Gordon Green's "Your Highness."

The lovely and talented Zooey Deschanel is the latest to board David Gordon Green's upcoming comedy “Your Highness" for Universal.

Written by McBride and Ben Best, the film follows an arrogant prince (McBride) and his brother (Franco), who must show great courage and fulfill a perilous quest to secure the future of his dad’s kingdom.

The Hollywood Reporter says Deschanel will play Belladonna, Franco's virginal bride. Also starring is Natalie Portman, who slips into the role of a badass princess McBride falls in love with.

"Highness" is a project I'm definitely looking forward to. Green did a fab job with "Pineapple Express," and the cast for this one keeps getting better as well.

Deschanel will soon be see in "500 Days of Summer." She also recently starred in the so-so "Yes Man" and ultra-crappy "The Happening."
