Bosco685 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thor: Ragnarok Adds Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, Karl Urban And More To Cast The casting for the much-anticipated Thor: Ragnarok from Marvel Studios has been announced, and it includes some stellar talent. "Two-time Oscar®-winner Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine,” “Carol, “Cinderella”) joins Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok” as the mysterious and powerful new villain Hela, along with Jeff Goldblum (the upcoming “Independence Day: Resurgence,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Jurassic Park”) who joins the cast as the eccentric Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson (“Creed,” “Selma”) who will bring the classic hero Valkyrie to life on the big screen, and Karl Urban (“Star Trek” trilogy, “The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King”) who will add his might to the fray as Skurge." After being absent in Captain America: Civil War, fans now get to see just what Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) have been up to this entire time. The casting announcement includes a few surprises, like Jeff Goldblum's role of The Grandmaster and Karl Urban as Skurge. It also features the official confirmation of Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, which hopefully means that my Secret Avengers team wishlist just got a little closer to reality.

gadzukes Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 No Enchantress? I'm sure she's coming. They just haven't cast her yet. Can you introduce the Executioner without the Enchantress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key Largo Comics Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm guessing that Hela will be taking the place of the Enchantress or it will be a Hela/Enchantress amalgamation of sorts. Cate Blanchett is a major heavyweight. She is your big bad as Hela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke as a Joke Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Jeff Goldblum will probably be holding an infinity stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmaz Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm really looking forward to this movie, and was excited with the quality of the actors in this casting announcement. I'm a bit perplexed that they'd bring the Executioner without the Enchantress... and in fact when I heard the casting on Valkyrie I thought it was partly motivated so as to have her be more of a contrasting type physically to the Enchantress (in addition to her being an excellent actress, by the way). So I find it odd we don't have an Enchantress yet. Perhaps the operative word is "yet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key Largo Comics Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Connect the dots. Cate Blanchett has been cast as Hela. Karl Urban has been cast as the Executioner. You don't pay Cate Blanchett and then bring in yet another actress to play yet another female villain. They are going with Hela instead of the Enchantress in this movie. Also their is already an Enchantress in DC's upcoming Suicide Squad so they are probably trying to differentiate away from that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the God of Hel & the Executioner who sends them there, seems to have a nice ring to it. Edited May 21, 2016 by chezmtghut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 But, but, but..... it's the Enchantress. Me wants the Enchantress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezmtghut Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 But, but, but..... it's the Enchantress. Me wants the Enchantress. I can totally relate. I'd like to see her also, but they will probably leave her till phase 4. It would be nice to see the Enchantress show up in a cameo at least, to save the Executioner, only to become her servant instead of Hela's in the end. If they bring the masters of evil together after Infinity War, she will surely have a main role. That would be a long wait though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
