According to Thor: Ragnarok screenwriter Eric Pearson, the franchise’s human characters, like Natalie Portman’s Jane, Kat Dennings’s Darcy, and Stellan Skarsgård’s Dr. Erik Selvig, were never considered for parts in the film. The Taika Waititi-directed flick reinvents the God of Thunder as he goes through his own hero’s journey to save Asgard with his Avengers pal (and sometimes sparring partner), Bruce Banner/Hulk. With the movie being a mix of old and new (but mostly new from the look of things), there are some notable absences in the flick — mostly Odinson’s Earth-bound friends.
