We’re still waiting for Marvel Studios to at least acknowledge that Thor: Ragnarok will be directed by Taika Waititi, let alone that it will likely star two-time Academy Award-winner Cate Blanchett. However, the actress has been further pressed about her mystery role in the 2017 threequel. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Blanchett was asked flat-out if she’s in Ragnarok, to which she made the revelation that she’ll be taking over for fellow Aussie Chris Hemsworth as the God(dess) of Thunder. Obviously, she’s joking (or is she?), but watch below to see for yourself.

We’re almost certain Cate Blanchett will be playing a supervillain in Thor: Ragnarok, especially given what her prospective co-star Mark Ruffalo said of her potential casting. And also the fact that Marvel typically casts big-name veteran actors as villains if not the lead superhero. However, there is a possibility she could be playing the superheroine Valkyrie, also known as Brunnhilde, which might indicate why Blanchett has offhandedly mentioned playing a superhero not once, but twice. In fact, the Ultimate Valkyrie even described herself as the female Thor sans his special abilities. Anyhow, we’ll find out soon enough, although filming doesn’t start until June. What do you think?
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Ray Stevenson, Anthony Hopkins, and Mark Ruffalo, Thor: Ragnarok is currently being scripted by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle with Taika Waititi set to direct, and the movie scheduled to release in theaters on November 3, 2017.
