How will Jane Foster Get Back Mjolnir?

After being deemed unworthy by Odin, Thor Odinson loses his realm and laminated weapon Mjolnir. Jane Foster, a medical doctor and Asgardian mortal, is then gifted with the power to wield Mjolnir and assumes the role of Mighty Thor. Her journey as a hero is fraught with challenges, both internal and external, as she battles various foes and faces the realities of her health, particularly her battle with cancer.

comic iterations of Mjolnir

The story of Mjolnir in the comics has gone through multiple iterations and complex story arcs. These storylines frequently evolve with the introduction of new writers and events, making it essential to stay updated with the latest comic issues or official Marvel announcements for the most accurate information.

One notable storyline involving Jane Foster and Mjolnir occurred in Thor: Love and Thunder. Supposedly, leaked footage suggests that Jane visits New Asgard in Norway, where a plinth/memorial stands for the pieces of Mjolnir that fell due to Hela's destruction.

According to the leaked footage, Jane may reform the pieces and, in doing so, Mjolnir comes back. However, the specifics of how she gets Mjolnir remain to be seen, and fans will have to wait for the final reveal.

Comics by Jane Foster

In the comics, Jane Foster utilizes the 616 Mjolnir, which has been reforged numerous times. However, when Thor became worthy again, he reclaimed the hammer, and Jane needed to seek treatment for her cancer, which was healed by Mjolnir. Eventually, she was asked by Thor to help defend 616 with the 1610 Mjolnir, which was cracked but not yet broken.

During a fierce battle, the hammer shattered mid-flight and transformed into a new form called Undrjarn - the All Weapon. This powerful weapon encircles her wrist like the thong of Mjolnir but now can turn into any weapon she desires, fueled by Mjolnir's powers and the immense power absorbed by the 1610 Mjolnir. This transformation led to Jane becoming the new Valkyrie.

MCU and Jane Foster

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the fate of Mjolnir and Jane Foster's connection to it remains uncertain. Various scenarios are possible. She might inherit the broken and reforged Mjolnir, or it could come from another dimension. It's also possible that the way Captain America returned Mjolnir in Avengers: Endgame might lead to Jane acquiring it.

Alternatively, the Jane Foster we see in the MCU might be a different Jane Foster altogether. The filmmakers have kept their cards close to their chest, leaving ample room for surprise. With the introduction of Zeus, Hercules, the God Butcher, and Gorr, there are numerous unanswered questions, and it's possible that Beta Ray Bill might also return.

The fate of Mjolnir and Jane Foster's future with it is an exciting topic for Marvel fans, and whether it happens in comics, comics adaptations, or the MCU, it's sure to be a thrilling journey.
