Thor: Ragnarok
A twelve films in for Marvel Studios and not one has featured a female title character . That ’s about to modify in phase angle 3 with bothAnt - Man and the WaspandCaptain Marvellooking to headline key Marvel Comics superheroines in the next few class … but what about the villains ?
While female antagonists have played supporting part on Marvel TV and on the film side , we ’ve yet to see a lead villain be a female character . That ’s survive to change withThor : Ragnarok . The thirdThorfilm attend Chris Hemsworth tax return as the titular Asgardian God of Thunder , join this metre by hisEarthly brute ally Hulk(Mark Ruffalo ) for a cosmic buddy dangerous undertaking , and a reputation from November indicated that it ’s this story that ’ll introduceMarvel ’s first major female movie villain .
So in December when the trades broke the news that Aussie Oscar winning starCate Blanchett was in public lecture with Marvel Studiosto play a lead character inThor : Ragnarok , we knew what that meant . Blanchett joked onJimmy Kimmel Livearound the time that she was plump to takeover the lead persona of Thor from Hemsworth ( Thor is a female character in the comics now , after all ) but according to Mark Ruffalo who speak withETyesterday at the BAFTA Awards Season Tea Party , the villain we previously hear about is one and the same as the character Blanchett may play .
" I ’m so thrilled . I pick up her at the Governors ' banquet here and heard that perhaps she was encircle , they were talking to her about the part , so I ran up to her and I was like , ' Please , please , please make this work ! ' She ’s just one of the good , and to have her flirt a baddie is going to be really exciting . "
If Blanchett joinsThor , it would be another example of Marvel Studios using veteran , recognizable principal to fill supporting office . Doctor Strange- which debut this tumble - has several Oscar caliber stars filling its social rank , accent that Marvel is looking for top tier endowment for its project . That ’s why Matthew McConaughey was of interest forGuardians of the Galaxy Vol.2’svillain function and it ’s why Blanchett may be lay siege to Asgard in a few long time . Marvel Studios President of the United States of productionKevin Feige , now in full in electric charge of the studio and reporting only to Disney ’s top brass , does n’t have the same nasty budget constraints he had previously meaning he can keep talent happier and have more options in attracting headliner .
From another business perspective , sinceThor 3is the first Marvel task shooting in Australia , taxation incentives for having Aussie regorge penis and crew no doubt come into play . Hemsworth of course hail from Australia and currently live with his family just an minute outdoors of Village Roadshow ’s Gold Coast placement where production may take place . Having Blanchett fall in as well could further that suit .

As for what femaleThorvillain Blanchett may play , here are the options we theorized last year , of which we think Enchantress is the most potential . The character ’s sister , Lorelei , had a guest coming into court on an episode of Marvel’sAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.on ABC . Although whatever character it is could be an amalgamation of any of the pursuit to better serve the story ofRagnarokwhich we have a go at it will have amajor impingement on the cosmic side of the MCU .
