In the comic books, Jane is diagnosed with breast cancer. Thor--the original Thor--is deemed no longer worthy of wielding Mjolnir and amid an attack on Earth by Frost Giants, a woman picks up the hammer and becomes Thor: Goddess of Thunder. That woman is Jane, and with the weapon, she acquires Thor's superpowers and fights the Frost Giants and other enemies.
Thor: Love and Thunder, is set to be released on November 5, 2021.
