“So a lot of the time I was trying to look fierce and bad and indomitable in a suit, which is pretty hard to do.” “Half of my costume was done in post,” Cate added about her elaborate costume, which was created in post-production. “I thought that was really exciting that they were prepared to destroy Thor’s power in the first few minutes. “That had me at ‘hello’ actually,” Blanchett said about her character Hela taking away the superhero’s powerful hammer. “I thought, ‘Surely not.’ Well, no actually that’s true! There’s been many, many, many in the comic books, but they’ve been a little tardy in bringing them to the screen, so hopefully, there will be a lot more villainesses.” “I didn’t realize until Marvel told me that I was inhabiting the first female Marvel villain onscreen,” she told E! News at Comic-Con in July 2017. Born on May 14, 1969, in Ivanhoe, Australia, she turned 47 on May 14, 2016.Ĭate Blanchett was 47-years-old when starring as Thor’s older sister and the goddess of death Hela in Thor: Ragnarok Principal photography began on July 4, 2016, when Cate was 47-years-old.

There’s so much untapped potential villainy in women.Cast as Marvel’s first female villain Hela in Thor: Ragnarok, in January 2016 Cate Blanchett was hoping for her third Oscar. “Can you believe we’re having this conversation and it’s 2017 and we’re talking about the first female villain?” she asked Entertainment Weekly. (Henchmen Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy is the closest Marvel’s come to offering up a female baddie before.) That long of a wait seems ridiculous to even Blanchett. Thor: Ragnarok will be the 17th Marvel Studios film - and the first with a woman as its main villain.

When she isn’t wearing her cape, her true form - half young and healthy, half decaying - is revealed. In the comic books, she wears a cape that gives her powers even greater than those of her Asgardian colleagues. She can kill mortals and weaken gods by simply touching them.

But Loki doesn’t make the best ruler as he accidentally releases the imprisoned Hela. In the film, Thor discovers that his devious brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) has been impersonating their missing father, Odin, and ruling Asgard. Thor - played by Chris Hemsworth in the Marvel films - is usually the hero who stops her. She often tries to extend her rule to Valhalla, a grand hall in Asgard where souls who died honorably reside. In the comic books, the Asgardian king Odin (Thor’s dad) appoints her to rule over Hel, a dark underworld-like hell, and Nifleheim, a sort of icy purgatory. Hela is the Asgardian goddess of death, inspired by the Norse goddess Hel. Here’s everything that you need to know about the comic book character and what to expect from Blanchett in the film. Hela also happens to be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first major female villain.
