The folks at Geek.com have been dropping a few Marvel rumours lately concerning a potential villain for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 [see here] and Odin’s involvement in Thor: Ragnarok [see here], and now the site is back with another Ragnarok rumour, this time concerning Cate Blanchett’s role.
So, according to the site, Blanchett – who is yet to be officially confirmed as appearing, but definitely in the running according to Mark Ruffalo – will play the character of Hela, the ruler of Hel.
In Thor: Ragnarok, Hela and Loki will have set their plan well in motion by the time Thor gets wise to what’s going on. Hela ends up creating the incident to Thor’s journey in the film. According to our sources, when Thor confronts Hela, things do not go well. Not only does she banish Thor from Asgard, but she destroys Mjolnir!
