Here Are The Actors Behind These Famous Movie Villains

Hela

Thor: Ragnarok's villain, Hela, is a devious, gothic-inspired villain who spent years in imprisonment under Odin's rule. Played by Cate Blanchett, this role isn't one of her typical performances. She pulls off playing Loki and Thor's enemy with surprising ease. Blanchett is known for taking on more elegant roles, such as those in Carol, Blue Jasmine, and Knight of Cups. However, she did play an elf in The Lord of the Rings franchise, which is one of her more whimsical roles.
