Death and Hela

One of the most recent rumors concerning Thor: Ragnarok is that it will reveal the whole reason why Thanos is after the Infinity Stones. Thus, just like in the comics, the Mad Titan is infatuated with Death. However, unlike in the comics, the MCU won’t introduce this powerful cosmic entity.

And for good reason – until now, no other cosmic entities have been introduced. Furthermore, having them in the shared universe could confuse the general audiences (the ones that bring the big bucks, that is).

So, in the MCU, an adaptation will be made and one of the villains of Thor: Ragnarok will become Death. And that villain is Hela, the ruler of Hel, portrayed by Cate Blanchett. And this would be great – the actress would be wasted if she appeared just as a villain in a single MCU flick. Whereas her skills will be put to better use if she became a constant in the shared universe.

I actually want to see this happening. Don’t you? Marvel needs to make this happen!
