Marvel Studios is currently in the business of get the most recognisable names in Hollywood to join the MCU . take a look at some of their most recent castings will prove that they are being reasonably successful in doing so , and one of those names would be Cate Blanchett . Blanchett is play   Hela , the villain inThor : Ragnarok , which will be the second time that the master resister in a Marvel film is a woman . Elizabeth Debicki as Ayesha is conk to get the form of address of being first thanks toGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 , but there seems to be more exhilaration at this point about Blanchett ’s amour .

For her first appearance in the MCU , she will be pair up with director Taika Waititi and atomic number 27 - superstar Chris Hemsworth , Mark Ruffalo , Tessa Thompson , Karl Urban , and many more . Ragnarokis in thefinal weeks or even daytime of production , which means Blanchett could have already finished her role and it sounds like she had a blast .

Did he say that ? Well , he ’s the greenest of the green ! I did n’t get to work so much with Mark , unfortunately . But I did get to lick with Chris [ Hemsworth ] and talk about delicious ! He ’s just dead fabulous . The whole thing was just a howler and fantastic merriment . Did you see [ director ] Taika Waititi ’s film ,   Hunt for the Wilderpeople ?   Or ,   What We Do in the shadow ?   He ’s just got such a sure script . He ’s wonderful — I ’d eat him for breakfast if I could . He ’s dead delectable . And he ’s impertinent which is great because Marvel , at its good , has its tongue unwaveringly in its impudence .

Sidious, Tyranus, Maul, and Vader.

While she did not get to shoot with Ruffalo a lot , she did spend a lot of time with Thor himself . Thor himself may be the god of thunder , but Blanchett really enjoyed the time she got to spend with him on and off camera :

He is a big guy ! But , you know , you get on the Avengers / Marvel bandwagon — they ’re name so many of these goliath at once — he does n’t have any metre to sort of get chubby . I do fuck Chris in these movies —   he has that really playful side of him that he engender to truck out .

Fans have yet to see a tangible look at Blanchett in the role , withonly blurry look from set photosand the silhouette of her costume in concept prowess . With the movie still being over a year aside , it could be a while before any prescribed look at the quality is expel . In the meantime , Blanchett playing the baddie should be an exciting prospect for devotee .

too , it is good   to get wind her singing the kudos of Waititi as the director . This is his first big budget film and it sounds from her view at least that he knocked it out of the commons . Hopefully she does not in reality eat on Waititi so he can mystify around for potentially more installments in the MCU - though how wellRagnarokis receive will determine whether or not that will be the fount .
