Despite promising to focus on her recovery, Jane becomes Mighty Thor one last time in the film’s final act, but it comes at a cost.

However, becoming Mighty Thor has its downsides, with Mjolnir draining Jane’s mortality and preventing her body from properly fighting the cancer. Wielding Mjolnir proves crucial to Jane’s empowerment for a while, with her cancer and chemotherapy treatment having made her feel somewhat helpless. Her illness is one of the reasons she becomes Mighty Thor in the first place, with the broken pieces of Mjolnir calling to her after Thor asks his beloved hammer to always protect Jane no matter what while they were still dating. At the same time, audiences catch up with Jane in the present day as she battles stage four cancer.

Thor: Love and Thunder fast-tracks Jane’s story, providing a montage of her years with Thor and a reason behind their break-up, which was only alluded to in Thor: Ragnarok.
