Mindless Speculation: Will Jane Foster Be The New Phoenix?
This is just Mindless Speculation. Treat it like nothing else. But we know that in an upcoming issue of The Avengers, the Phoenix Force will gain a new host in the Marvel Universe. A host who is going to stick. And much is being made of the mystery of who she is.
What if it is Jane Foster? It was current Avengers writer Jason Aaron, who made Jane Foster into the new Thor when Thor Odinson was considered unworthy to wield Mjolnir. After that, it was Jason Aaron who recast Jane Foster as the new Valkyrie in her own series. And it is Jason Aaron who, in April, when we get the new Phoenix, is creating a new Mighty Valkyries series, with a focus on other Valkyries, not just Jane Foster. Might this be an opportunity for Jane to find another role? From the harbinger of death to the symbol of death and rebirth? After all, Jane Foster is going to be a lot more prominent, as Natalie Portman takes on the role of Thor in the movie Thor: Love And Thunder.
Now, this is just mindless speculation, based on nothing else but supposition. But… maybe? Here are the solicitations for April's issues, as well as this week's Avengers #42, with the preview…
