What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
This October, Marvel Comics evolves once again in one of the most shocking and exciting changes ever to shake one of Marvel’s “big three” – Captain America, Iron Man and Thor – Marvel Comics will be introducing an all-new THOR, GOD OF THUNDER. No longer is the classic male hero able to hold the mighty hammer, Mjölnir, a brand new female hero will emerge who will be worthy of the name THOR. Who is she? Where did she come from and what is her connection to Asgard and the Marvel Universe?
“The inscription on Thor's hammer reads ‘Whosoever holds this hammer, if HE be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.’ Well it's time to update that inscription,” says Marvel editor Wil Moss. “The new Thor continues Marvel's proud tradition of strong female characters like Captain Marvel, Storm, Black Widow and more. And this new Thor isn't a temporary female substitute - she's now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!”
Series writer Jason Aaron emphasizes, “This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before.”

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't see why she couldn't be Thorita.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm not sure Thor counts as one of Marvel's "Big Three", nor Iron Man, for that matter. (Unless we're talking about the MCU.)
That said, it's an interesting change, though I liked the big lug.
I'd be more interested if they had announced a Black Widow or Captain Marvel movie.

Maybe that's the big SDCC announcement.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Thor's always been one of the big three in the Avengers (along with the other two named), though for overall Marvel iconic status through the decades I'd say it's Cap, Spider-Man, and the Hulk.
From the article it sounds like an entirely new person stepping into Thor's role as a legacy character rather than actually being Thor but now female due to someone besides Don Blake picking up the hammer. I wonder if it's Tarene since she already has the powers and is Thor's #1 fangirl?
