What?  You're a movie actor and you haven't appeared in a comic book transformation yet?

Who's your agent?  What's the matter with him/her?

That's no longer a problem for Natalie Portman.  The co-star of "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "My Blueberry Nights" will co-star opposite Chris Hemsworth and serve as the title character's love interest, according to an item posted on the Variety Web site.

"In the pic, the actions of Thor, an arrogant Norse warrior, reignites an ancient war, and as a result, he's cast down to Earth, where he is forced to live among humans as punishment. Once there, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth," the article says.  (Click here to read it in its entirety).

Portman, one of the big screen's more versatile actresses, has been plenty busy lately.  According to the Variety article, she's currently shooting Universal's comedy "Your Highness," which is being directed by former Texas resident David Gordon Green and will also star in Darren Aronofsky's supernatural-thriller "Black Swan," just to name a couple of her current projects.
