Apart from giving focus to Chris Hesmworth’s Thunder God in his third solo outing, Thor: Ragnarok is expected to flesh out Mark Ruffalo’s Incredible Hulk, Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief Loki, as well as Jaimie Alexander’s Lady Sif, among other Asgardians. And while it’s been said that the superheroine known as Valkyrie (and/or her Valkyrior team) will be introduced, now comes word that the 2017 threequel will also establish a "major" female supervillain from the Marvel Comics.



“If Valkyrie is really coming to the big screen, that will make two high-profile female roles being cast in Ragnarok, because I have heard that Marvel is also planning on bringing their first major female villain into their cinematic universe,” reports Lainey Gossip, whose scoops have been low-key in sync with Birth.Movies.Death’s. Unfortunately, the source is not sure which Marvel Comics villainess is being cast, but it's likely either Hela, Queen of the Dead, or Amora the Enchantress.



As Birth.Movies.Death recently reported that Marvel Studios “thinks they’re going to cast some great women” in Thor: Ragnarok, Lainey Gossip adds that a big-name actress is certainly being considered for this mystery Marvel villain, and even name-drops Cate Blanchett. However, it’s unclear in the article if the source was either suggesting that the two-time Academy Award-winning actress is on the studio’s radar, or if just someone of her caliber is being pursued. Nonetheless, which villain do you think will appear (if not both) and which actress would you like to fill the role?







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.
