Based on the first photo of Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy, we are in for something good.

Portman will portray the former first lady in "Jackie," a biopic that chronicles the four days after President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination. Currently shooting in Paris and slated for a 2017 release, "Jackie" is directed by Pablo Larraín ("No") and produced by Darren Aronofsky, reuniting Portman with the "Black Swan" maestro. Peter Sarsgaard is playing Robert Kennedy and Greta Gerwig is on board as one of Kennedy's aides.

Portman follows in a long line of actresses who have played Mrs. Kennedy, including Katie Holmes, Jacqueline Bisset, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Sarah Michelle Gellar. See the first photo of Portman in the role below.
