"Your ancestors called it magic, you call it science"- If you saw the San Diego Comic-Con footage of the Thor movie, then you might recognize this quote that Thor says to Jane Foster. Natalie Portman, the woman who will bring Jane Foster's character to life, talked to Los Angeles Times about the "new layers to the character" she will be bringing. 

“I signed on to do it before there was a script. And Ken, who’s amazing, who is so incredible, was like, ‘You can really help create this character.‘ “

"I got to read all of these biographies of female scientists like Rosalind Franklin who actually discovered the DNA double helix but didn’t get the credit for it. The struggles they had and the way that they thought — I was like, ‘What a great opportunity, in a very big movie that is going to be seen by a lot of people, to have a woman as a scientist.’  She’s a very serious scientist. Because in the comic she’s a nurse and now they made her an astrophysicist. Really, I know it sounds silly, but it is those little things that makes girls think it’s possible. It doesn’t give them a [role] model of  ‘Oh, I just have to dress cute in movies.’”
