Natalie Portman: 'Thor: The Dark World' is Gritty!

Natalie Portman holds hands with her son Aleph as they step out together on Thursday (August 15) in Los Angeles.

The 32-year-old actress’ two-year-old son sucked on a lollypop as they headed to their car!

“I think this movie is certainly grittier,” Natalie said to MTV about the Thor sequel, Thor: The Dark World. “A lot of the villains’ world was shot in Iceland, so it’s got more of a realistic feel than something that was made on a computer. It’s still got a lot of wonder and humor, but it’s also got a darker tone as well.”

The flick opens on November 8.

FYI: Natalie is wearing Soludos espadrilles.
