Hela

Hela is the main antagonist of Thor: Ragnarok. The ruler of Hel, she is the daughter of Loki in the comics. This won’t be the case in this movie. Cate Blanchett portrays her, and I do expect to see a connection between her character and Thanos.

As the ruler of Hel, she is basically the MCU version of Death. And Death is the reason why Thanos went after the Infinity Gems in the comics. For the moment, there is no reason revealed for the Mad Titan’s quest. Could this be it? Is he trying to impress Hela? It appears so to me.

The artwork released shows Hela facing a huge army. Who is to stop her? What role does Loki/Odin have in her plans? Does she want just Asgard, or are her plans bigger than that? These, and many others, are questions still unanswered.

But the fact that Galadriel finally turned evil makes Thor: Ragnarok even more exciting!
