Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett, who essays the fantastical character of Hela in “Thor: Ragnarok”, says she “really enjoyed” beating people up as the female villain of the film. “I think so (whether Hela is the most physical role she has ever taken). I’m pretty physical when I’m on stage. ‘Indiana Jones’ was quite physical. But in terms of hand-to-hand combat, this definitely wins. And that’s been part of what I’ve relished actually,” Blanchett said in a statement.

She said she enjoyed working with Zoe Bell, whom she called “the most extraordinary stunt person and also a wonderful actor”. “We had this sort of really symbiotic relationship. She’s been very generous and clear and such an incredible teacher, showing me how to mime better. But also to say that this moment leads here and that there’s an opportunity if you wanted to do something in here.

“It’s not looking at a fight in a traditional way, which is a series of punches and kicks and knocking someone to the ground. There’s a psychology in it, which has been really fun to play with. I’ve loved it,” she added. Blanchett also said that “some of the happiest times on this film for me have been beating people up. I’ve really enjoyed it”.

“I was like, ‘oh, I don’t have to speak today. I can just throw axes into someone’s gut and decapitate that person there’. So, it’s been good,” she said. Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok” is directed by Taika Waititi and also stars Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins and Jeff Goldblum among others. The movie will release in India on November 3.

Perhaps one of the most heavily advertised Marvel Studios franchise, ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ is setting excitement fever ticking on high, ever since the trailer and teaser were dropped and people literally lost it. 

In the latest instalment, Thor has been held captive on0QwXMRHg another planet without his hammer ‘Mjolnir’ and has to return to his world of Asgard in order to stop supervillain Hela and the doomed Ragnarok. However, in order to do so, he has to fight Hulk and THAT is the challenge.

 

 

The craving for the release is increasing by the minute and while fans await the November release, Marvel has been tantalising poor souls by throwing around casual videos which are basically adding fuel to the fire. The latest TV spot that was released shows Thor in a gladiatorial battle with Hulk. Cate Blanchett looks fantastic as Hela who represents death and is furiously hell bent on wiping out Asgard.

The stellar star cast includes Tom Hiddleton as ‘Loki’, Chris Hemsworth as ‘Thor’, Benedict Cumberbatch as ‘Dr. Strange’ and of course you’ll see a lot of Tessa Thompson. 

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ was dope! The action was awesome. The visuals were insane and it was extremely funny. Top 5 marvel movie. #ThorRagnarok

#ThorRagnarok is stunningly fun and hilarious! A modern-but-maybe-even-better Bukaroo Banzai/Flash Gordon! Splashy, colorful awesomeness!

THOR RAGNAROK is hilarious & weird & offbeat & retro & sublime. Love how Marvel let Taika Waititi make a movie that’s Waititi-ish as hell.
