As a HUGE Thor fan and an even BIGGER Hela fan, I really hope that the goddess of death is in the upcoming Thor movie. For those of you unfamiliar with Hela, she was born in Jotunheim, the land of the giants. According to legend she was the child of the trickster Loki and the giantess Angrboda. When she came of age, Odin appointed her as the Goddess of Death, giving her rulership over the dead in the realms of Hel and Niffleheim.
From what we've seen and heard so far, Loki will be trying to destroy Thor in the film by, among other things, sending the Destroyer to earth to do battle with the god of thunder. But I was also thinking that Loki sent his daughter to keep an eye on Thor while he was earthbound. Not just as a babysitter, but also, if need be, use her means to kill Thor and take him back to Hel with her. Just one of Loki's chess pieces in the big game.
Now everything online has Kat listed as Darcy, a co-worker of Jane Foster. But is she really Hela in disguise? This is something I have speculated about for a long time in many threads here at CBM. In an early interview with Collider, Kat remained very secretive as to the scope of her role as Darcy.
Collider: So, I mean I know filming [on Thor] has started but have you shot your scenes yet or is that still coming up?
DENNINGS: No. All my stuff is towards the end, yeah, towards the end of the shoot.
Collider: Okay.
DENNINGS: Yeah no, I just can’t wait. I had a bunch of fittings and a bunch of hair and makeup tests and I was so excited. I would wake up like an hour or two early.
Collider: Okay. I believe I read, and correct me if I’m wrong, that your character is a friend of Natalie Portman’s character?
DENNINGS: Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know how much I can say.
Collider: Okay. Are you actually a god in the film?
DENNINGS: I can’t tell you…
Collider: Can’t tell me? Can’t tell me anything? Okay.
DENNINGS: No, I can’t tell you.
So that's why I'm thinking she could be Hela. Asked if she plays a god, she replies with "I can't tell you." Seems she could say no, especially if she is listed simply as a co-worker of Jane Foster, unless she ISN'T simply a co-worker. Darcy is a totally made up character for the film, so the possibilities are endless! And she also says that she "bunch of fittings and a bunch of hair and makeup tests." For a simple co-worker? I doubt it.
All signs point to something BIGGER for Kat in Thor.
Plus, she looks PERFECT as Hela! Don't ya think??
