New York

Hela’s arrival depends on Odin’s removal from the throne. Thor’s father may not have imprisoned the Goddess of Death in the first place, but his tremendous power has certainly kept her wherever she was cast.

We don’t really know how Loki manages to seize the throne. However, we do know that Odin is now in New York (set photos show him as a homeless old man who seems pretty satisfied with his life). Could he factor in Hela’s defeat in some way? Will Hela even be defeated? These are questions that still remain unanswered.

Hela must know where Odin is, since she shatters Mjolnir while facing Thor and Loki, who are most certainly searching for their father in New York.

Since we’re talking New York, how does Doctor Strange factor into all of this?
