Cate Blanchett is said to be in talks for a “bad ass” character in Thor: Ragnarok, and now she might be confirmed for the movie as Mark Ruffalo may have let it slip she’s playing a villain in the movie.
“Cate Blanchett is supposed to be at the BAFTA event day, your Thor 3 co-star, I believe,” ET asked. “What can you tell us about the movie. Are you excited to work with her?”
“I’m so thrilled. 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!'” Ruffalo replied. “She’s just one of the best, and to have her play a baddie is going to be really exciting.”
Cate Blanchett also previously joked with Jimmy Kimmel she was playing a female Thor.
“Yes. Chris Hemsworth is busy, so I’ve bee working out,” Blanchett replied to being asked if she is in Thor 3.
Kimmel then questioned if that is a confirmation, to which Blanchett said, “They are just subsituting one Australian for another. Gender equality. Why can’t you have a female Thor?”
“Thor: Ragnarok” has a November 3, 2017 release directed by Taika Waititi starring Chris Hemsworth.
