Thor Stephany Folsom

Variety reported this morning that Cate Blanchett may be joining Thor: Ragnarok. The Oscar-winning actress is apparently in talks to play an as-yet-unknown character in the third installment of the Thor films. Innnteresting. This would be a pretty cool addition to MCU no matter which way it’s played, but it all still begs speculation. Could Blanchett’s potential character have something to do with the whole Loki-masquerading-as-Odin thing at the end of Thor: The Dark World? Or will she be more involved with the Ragnarok of it all? (In the Civil War comics, Ragnarok is the Tony-Stark created cyborg clone of Thor. Dun dun dun!) The actress isn’t quite yet confirmed, so it all remains to be seen.

Taika Waiti is attached to direct, Stephany Folsom did a recent polish on the script, and, of course, Chris Hemsworth will star. We know Mark Ruffalo will make an appearance as Bruce Banner/The Hulk and Tom Hiddleston will return as Loki. Blanchett’s attachment will only mean more awesome for a film that’s already shaping up to have a dream team behind it.

Thor: Ragnarok is slated for a Nov. 3, 2017 release.
