Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett has discussed her three big reasons for wanting to tackle the villainous role of Hela in the Marvel movie Thor: Ragnarok.
Given the general lack of strong villains in Marvel movies, there’s a big opportunity for Blanchett to make a huge impression playing a character who is visually striking and by all accounts gets to do some thoroughly epic things in Thor: Ragnarok.
There’s a reason Cate Blanchett has two Oscars.
If Blanchett knocks it out of the park as Hela, perhaps future Marvel movies will endeavor to feature more strong, villainous female characters. It doesn’t hurt that Blanchett is one of the most talented and accomplished actresses of her generation, having snagged seven Oscar nominations with two wins under her belt.
