Cate Blanchett Is Joining THOR: RAGNAROK
Cate Blanchett is the most recent big star to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Blanchett is in final negotiations to join Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Tom Hiddleston in Thor: Ragnarok! There are no details given on who she might play, but how awesome would it be if she were cast as Hela the Goddess of Death! Holy crap, she would be amazing in that role! That's who I would want to cast her as because she's perfect for the role.
Blanchett just received a SAG and Golden Globe Best Actress nomination for her role in the film Carol, and Thor: Ragnarok will be her first major comic book role. However, this wouldn't be the first fantasy film she's been involved with. As you know, she also played a big role Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films.
Taika Waititi is on board to direct the third film in the Thor franchise from a script written by Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost, and Stephany Folsom, who was just brought in to work on it. There's a strong team of talent involved with the movie, and the addition of Blanchett just makes it even better.
Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters on November 3rd, 2017. Who would you like to see Blanchett play in the movie?
