"That passionate kiss shared by Thor and Dr. Jane Foster in the final scene of The Dark World? Turns out it was actually a real-life exchange between husband and wife!\r\nChris Hemsworth&amp;apos;s wife Elsa Pataky took Natalie Portman&amp;apos;s place in the final kissing scene of the Thor sequel due to a scheduling conflict, Portman told the NY Daily News.
