Thor: Ragnarok
Even Elizabeth Banks has noticed the similarities between her version of Rita Repulsa and Cate Blanchett as the main baddie inThor : Ragnarok , Hela . Ragnarokwas first denote during by Marvel back in 2014 , but fans did n’t really know what to expect from the film then . After director Taika Waititi come onboard and Mark Ruffalo ’s Hulk was confirmed for the moving picture , Ragnarokbegan to look more and more like a 1980s natural process / risky venture fantasy comedy than it did an apocalyptic superhero epic - and only seems to garner more attention , with each pass announcement / reveal .
In the list of reasons to be stimulate aboutThor : Ragnarok , Cate Blanchett ’s villainous Helasits right near the top of it . Playing the literal Goddess of Death , Blanchett is broadly speaking make out as one of the most gifted actresses of her ( or any ) generation - and based ontheThor : Ragnarokteaser trailer , she looks to be one of the most herculean and dangerous baddie that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever seen . That ’s only fitting , of course , for an actress of her talent and pedigree .
However , in add-on to the overall excitement surrounding her role in the film , some fan could n’t help but notice how similar the design of Blanchett ’s Hela was to Elizabeth Banks ' Rita Repulsa , from this year’sPower Rangersreboot . In fact , it looks like buff were n’t the only ones to notice the resemblance either , with bank recently taking toTwitterto joke about the similarities between the pair of villains :

When all is order and done , this is potential nothing more than a co-occurrence , since the films are coming out within such close law of proximity to each other . Unlike Hela too , who despite being somewhat dissimilar from her cartoon strip design , still looks recognizable to fans , Rita ’s reboot look in the newPower Rangersfilm could not have been more different from theoriginalPower Rangersseries ' translation of the character .
Banks ' reptilian , twisted Green Ranger look as Rita was met with tear reactions from longtime fans of the franchise , between those who like the unexampled take , and those who wish the reboot had stuck a small closer to the original excogitation ( though bank ' performance in the celluloid has generally earned her positive marks ) . reckon Blanchett ’s gift onscreen , though , and just how powerful of a fictional character Hela is in the Marvel comics andRagnarok , it will be interesting to see where she end up rank in the pantheon ofMCU antagonists / villains . After old age of the MCU being criticized for have lackluster villains , Hela may be the one to finally commence turning the tide in favor of the unfit guy rope .
