THOR: RAGNAROK Star Cate Blanchett Will Reportedly Return As Hela For WHAT IF...? Season 2

We never really expected to see Hela again after she was killed-off in Thor: Ragnarok, but a new report claims that Cate Blanchett will return to voice the villain for the second season of What If...?.

Cate Blanchett made her MCU debut as Hela in Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok, and aside from early rumors that the character was set to appear in this year's Love and Thunder, we've had no solid intel on the villain's potential MCU return - until now.

According to the Disney blog Laughing Place (via /Film), Blanchett is set to return to voice the Queen of the Underworld for the upcoming second season of Disney+ animated series, What If...?

Though we don't have any direct quotes to share, director Bryan Andrews is said to have confirmed Blanchett's reprisal at a LightBox Expo panel, suggesting that "an episode will be dedicated to the character, showing a side of her that wasn't shown in Ragnarok."

Hela's return was previously teased at San Diego Comic-Con, along with several other season 2 details. Though specifics are still under wraps, we do know that Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell) will once again be the focal point, and Variants of Odin and The Mandarin will also appear.

Whether Blanchett will ever reprise the role of Hela in live-action remains to be seen, but it seems unlikely given the direction Marvel Studios' Phase 5 and 6 projects appear to be heading in.

While no exact premiere date has been announced, What If...? season 2 is scheduled to hit Disney+ early next year.
