Cate Blanchett plays the first female supervillain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by portraying the Goddess of Death, Hela, in the upcoming film Thor: Ragnarok. A recent Marvel featurette focusing on her character shows the badass in full glory.
According to the Marvel Comics, Hela rules Hel and Niflheim and is a goddess of death. According to director Taika Waititi, Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett has destroyed the idea of a typical villain in the movies.
Chris Hemsworth who plays Thor - the god of lightning, was excited to see what Blanchett will bring to the table. He was all praise for her 'insane, off-kilter attitude' towards the character.
Waititi explained the logic behind Hela's menace. He said that all she wants is to come back home, be accepted and get what's hers.
The featurette also shows a cheeky game of intimidation between Hela in her complete attire and Thor sitting on the throne of Asgard.
One can't help smiling when Cate Blanchett reveals that she enjoyed it when instead of explaining Hela just threw axes at people's guts!

Thor: Ragnarok is slated to release on November 3.
