Hela Will Replace Death As Thanos’ Love Interest

Given that character’s association with the concept of death, it is believed that she will be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of the character Mistress Death – the embodiment of the concept of death itself – from the comic books.

With that in mind – and bearing in mind that Thanos is in love with Mistress Death in the comic books – it is believed that Hela will replace Mistress Death as Thanos’ love interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and will serve as the reason for him trying to conquer the universe (in order to impress her) in the Avengers: Infinity War movies.
