*** So far this has been [[AvertedTrope averted]] in ''Planetarium'' where she strips naked, sunbathes on a beach and gets splashed with water while laying on her stomach and shown from the side. She had done sex scenes in ''Black Swan'' and ''No Strings Attached'', but with no nudity.

** She signed onto the first ''Film/{{Thor}}'' movie under the impression that Creator/PattyJenkins (who would have been the first woman to direct a modern superhero movie and ironically enough ended up being that with ''Film/WonderWoman2017'') was to direct the sequel, ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''. Jenkins left the project under amicable terms but Portman tried to leave with her. She was contractually tied to the movie and had to stay. She was unhappy with the final product, especially with Jane being a love interest and LivingMacguffin. She's since come back around to the MCU starting in 2019[[note]]Right after the infamous Marvel Creative Committee that made most of the decisions she disagreed with was disbanded.[[/note]], with a cameo in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' [[note]]the cameo itself is re-used footage cut from ''The Dark World'' but she dubbed over a few new lines[[/note]] and a vastly-increased role in ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'' (in which Jane becomes an ActionGirl who gets her own superpowers). In addition, she also was announced to be part of the cast of ''What If...?'' from the first season onward.

She is married to the French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. They have two children.

* TeasingFromBehindTheLanguageBarrier: Used as a joke in an ''Inside the Actors Studio'' issue, where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR0liN8tnio she said a line in Hebrew]] (at the very end of this interview part) and then, when asked of its meaning, playfully answered: "It's for me to know and you to find out". Since then, people on the Internet have been asking about it. (If you want to know, what she said is: [[spoiler:In a month, I'm going to Israel to study at the University.]]) Besides, she mentioned in an [[http://www.natalieportman.com/npcom.php?page_number=21&viewarticle=2&article_number=431 interview]] that she likes using Hebrew as a secret language.

* RoleReprise: Natalie said she was "done" with the MCU after ''Thor: The Dark World''. She ended up changing her mind a couple years later and reprising the role of Jane Foster for ''Avengers: Endgame'' (sort of), ''Thor: Love and Thunder'', and ''What If...?''.

** She was very disappointed that most of the critical and fan reaction to her role in Creator/WesAnderson's short film ''Hotel Chevalier'' focused on her having a nude scene, and decided to swear off doing them in the future (while she filmed several nude scenes for ''Closer'' prior to this, director Mike Nichols had cut them from the film, and in films such as ''Film/YourHighness'', the shot that is supposedly her stripping to her underwear to bathe was a body double).

** Most notably in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', where she bares her midriff, thanks to ClothingDamage by a Nexu, and ''Hotel Chevalier'', where she is undressed to nothing but her socks when making love to Jason Schwartzman's character (she would have regrets on the latter). She also had several full nude scenes in ''Film/{{Closer}}'', but the director cut them from the movie (but she still plays a stripper and appears in skimpy outfits). Portman was also seen in a red bikini during a swimming scene in ''Film/GardenState''. Her other roles in movies such as ''Black Swan'', ''No Strings Attached'', ''Planetarium'' and ''Annihilation'' have her either in skimpy clothing or stark naked.
