InThor : Ragnarok , Blanchett tackles her most nefarious role to appointment , the Asgardian goddess of death Hela who get in on the scene and immediately begins living up to her name bytaking aside Thor ’s hammer Mjolnirand proceedings to lay waste product to Asgard in the most salient risible - book - movie way imaginable ( consider wave of fire sweep up down on everything ) .
