Despite Marvel movies being dominated by the boys, actress Natalie Portman strongly believes female superhero movies are coming soon.




“There are definitely many strong women, but it will be exciting when there is a central female character which I think is coming – I have heard is coming," said Portman exclusively to SciFiNow.




The actress also added that we can expect a central non-white character to come center stage.




Portman, who plays an astrophysicist and the love interest of the son of Odin in the "Thor" franchise, thinks Marvel's current display of strong women in their films already speaks volumes.




"I think it’s a testament to the people who run Marvel, their respect, their just normal human respect for women, the way they want to characterize them; you can tell when men talk to you, as just a person or as a ‘woman’," she said.




The sequel, "Thor: The Dark World," was suppose to be directed by "Monster" helmer Patty Jenkins, who would've been the first woman to direct a superhero movie. However, the job ultimately went to Alan Taylor of "Game Of Thrones." Portman didn't shy away from expressing her disappointment.




“I was very upset because Patty [Jenkins] is a wonderful woman,” she tells SciFiNow. “I was excited to work with her but I understood why she chose to leave and Alan [Taylor] is really wonderful, so it was bittersweet.”
