Mark Ruffalo might have given us a big hint as to the role Cate Blanchett is said to be circling in Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok. Back when we first heard the award winning Aussie actress was in early talks to appear in the movie, all we were told was that the character was a "bad ass", but after quizzing Ruffalo at the BAFTA Awards Season Tea Party on Saturday about possibly acting alongside Blanchett in the Marvel flick, ET seems to have given us a lot more to go on.
"I'm so thrilled," the Bruce Banner/Hulk actor responded. "I saw her 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! She’s just one of the best, and to have her play a baddie is going to be really exciting." Of course it's always possible Ruffalo is mistaken, but it's just as likley he thinks there's slightly more information about her role out there and had no idea he was revealing anything new.
If Blanchett is up for a villainous role, chances are it's either Amora the Enchantress or Hela, ruler of the Underworld - and given what we know about the plot of Thor: Ragnarok, my guess is the latter. What do you guys think?
