I read some of the comic book history of some of the characters in the MCU. I ran across Jane Foster's history and in one universe she married some guy on the rebound after she broke up with Thor and they had a child together. She had amnesia thanks to Odin and when she got her memory of her love for Thor back she dumped her husband. She filed for divorce; there was a custody fight and she lost. But there was no explanation as to why she lost. Women usually get primary custody of children unless proven unfit.

I bring this up because Marvel Studios has a habit of tweaking comic history to blend into the MCU. Latino Review alleged a Thor/Jane break-up in Age of Utron and she's dating Richard, her lousy date from The Dark World. (A lot of people are calling BS on this "spoiler"; I do too - Natalie Portman has not been seen on the AoU sets.)  If Marvel goes down this road, calling it:  Richard comes off as a goof who would feel very insecure about Jane's past with Thor (insecurity stemming from his previous girlfriend's constant cheating) to the point he would be a jackass about it. No matter what happened with the ex, you don't take it out on the next. Richard would say and/or do something stupid that will have Jane dumping him. I don't want Marvel using a tired romantic triangle trope in this film.
