'Thor 3 Ragnarok' News: Cate Blanchett Confirmed Joining Cast? Actress' Villain Role Revealed?

Just last month, Cate Blanchett was allegedly under negotiation for a role that she will play in the upcoming "Thor 3: Ragnarok." Now rumors are claiming that she will indeed take the offer.

The big question is, which Thor villain is she going to play?

Since the rumors began, Cate Blanchett has yet to issue a single interview regarding her role on the movie or whether she did take it. The biggest revelation so far was when Mark Ruffalo, who plays The Hulk, gave a slight hint about the actress taking the role in "Thor 3: Ragnarok."

Ruffalo told ET, "I saw her[Blanchett] at the Governors' banquet here and heard that maybe she was circling, they were talking to her about the part, so I ran up to her and I was like, 'Please, please, please make this work."

Mark Ruffalo even shared about his excitement over the possibility of working together with Cate Blanchett. He also hinted that the Oscar-winning actress will play a villain role in the movie.

As to Cate Blanchett's movie role, two characters have been pitched. Some devoted fans of series speculated that the "Carol" actress will play one of Thor's nemesis, Enchantress. Other rumors claim that she will take the role of Hela, the ruler of Hel and Niffelheim.

Regardless of which villain she will play, fans are excited to know that a top caliber actress is part of the "Thor 3: Ragnarok" cast. Cate Blanchett's reputation as one of the best actresses of her generation is sufficient enough to predict that the villain's role is in good hands when it comes to acting prowess.

According to Cinema Blend, Tom Hiddleston is reportedly going to reprise his role as Loki, Thor's brother and major nemesis.

The title of "Thor 3: Ragnarok" already dished some spoilers about the movie's plot. In Norse mythology, Ragnarok is the equivalent of the end of time or apocalypse.
