Jane decided to keep using Mjolnir as the MCU's Mighty Thor, however, because she wanted to use what little time she had left to do something that mattered, and she eventually died helping Thor stop Gorr and ascended to Valhalla.
Despite her death at the end of Thor: Love & Thunder, Jane Foster's MCU return has already been set up, which could see the hero have a new life as a Valkyrie.
Heimdall welcomes Jane to Valhalla, the Asgardian afterlife where the mead never stops pouring and the feasts are always plentiful. Only Asgardians who die in battle are greeted with entry to Valhalla, and Jane, having died as a warrior, is rewarded with eternal paradise.
That meant making a choice between continuing to fight as Thor and continuing to fight her cancer, and in both cases Jane chose to pick up the hammer again, helping others instead of helping herself. This also meant that, in both cases, she died and went to Valhalla as an Asgardian hero.
What did Jane Foster whisper in Thor's ear? The catchphrase that Jane used out loud earlier in the film was, “eat my hammer”.
In a moment of wistful affection for his girlfriend, Thor asked his trusty hammer to always protect Jane, and in doing so unwittingly enchanted Mjolnir to do just that. Just like Thor's father Odin once enchanted the hammer to only be lifted by someone who is worthy, Thor cast a spell that let Jane use its powers.
Thor Odinson initially suspects Jane might be this new hero. But he eliminates her from his list of suspects because she is going through chemotherapy for breast cancer, which, he reasons, would make her too weak to fight.

Thor reunites with Jane on Earth, and she is initially angry that he hadn't reached out to her during the Chitauri conflict. After talking things out, Thor takes Jane back to Asgard so they can find a way to remove the Aether from her.
Brunnhilde asked Jane if she wanted to become a Valkyrie, and she agreed. So, Jane was upgraded to Valkyrie status and gifted Undrjarn the All-Weapon. Since becoming a Valkyrie, Jane has had a full plate.
However, the film also implies that the hammer only sees Jane as worthy because Thor unintentionally revised the rules of Mjölnir, giving it the power to protect her. Captain America didn't need anything special for the hammer to see him as worthy – he's able to wield it without issue in Avengers: Endgame.
Love, being the adoptive daughter of Thor, is appropriately played by Chris Hemsworth's daughter, India Rose Hemsworth.
In the comics, whenever Foster turned into Mighty Thor, Odinforce would negate any chemotherapy received. Hence, turning back into a human form meant cancer returned aggressively, killing her slowly.
Gorr's daughter is played by India Rose Hemsworth, the daughter of Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, and actress Elsa Pataky. Hemsworth has talked about how his children are in the movie, saying "...Taika had his children in there.
While there is no character named "Love" raised by Thor in Marvel Comics, Thor does, in fact, have a daughter in an alternate reality with Lady Sif, though this child is named Torunn Thorsdóttir. Interestingly, Torunn translates to "Thor's love," so the name in Love & Thunder does have a connection to Marvel Comics.
During a confrontation with a creature known as Mangog, who was trying to destroy the city of Asgardia at the time, Jane sacrificed Mjolnir to defeat the monster, giving up her life in the process (“Mighty Thor” Vol. 2 #705).
Thor: Love and Thunder might have been a divisive movie among fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but one of the best elements was the presence of India Rose Hemsworth, star Chris Hemsworth's actual daughter. In the film, India Rose Hemsworth plays Love, the daughter of the movie's main villain Gorr the God Butcher.
History. Torunn is the daughter of Thor and Jane Foster. She's a member of the Next Avengers. When she was a a child she's been looked after by her mother after Thor leaves on an important mission.
Named "Jane Nelson" in her first two appearances, she went on to appear as the love interest of Dr. Donald Blake, the secret identity of the Norse god superhero Thor, in nearly every issue through #136 (Jan. 1967) of the title, by then renamed Thor.
Sadly, Jane isn't around to be part of Thor's new family. In her human form she's dying of cancer, and although Thor's hammer Mjolnir imbued her with the powers of an Asgardian god, this power proved to be too much for her human body.
Both Jane and Thor started to withdraw from each other, they both were experiencing the loss of their relationship. It was a mutual breakup because they both left each other, yet the love still remained. Often heartbreak can lead someone to harden their hearts to love.
But ultimately the Asgardian power only made her worse and, by the end of Love and Thunder, Foster succumbed to her cancer following the battle with Gorr the God Butcher.
There, he could make a wish and kill all Gods. That still doesn't phase Zeus, and Thor fights the God of Lightning, seemingly kills him, and steals Zeus' Lightning Bolt. Only Korg's head survives the battle. On the journey, Jane confides in Thor that she is dying of cancer and the pair reconcile.
When he is traveling with Rocket and Groot, Rocket gives Thor a cybernetic eye that he stole. The eye is a different color to Thor's original eye color, being brown rather than blue, but presents a part of his character journey as Thor begins to bond with the Guardians and continues his effort to defeat Thanos.
The movie never explicitly states how Jane arrives at the gate of Eternity so quickly, but the science scene earlier in the movie explains it when combined with a throwaway reference to Valkyrie's horse being bale to make portals.
