bullet::::- cate blanchett as hela: thor's older sister and the goddess of death, based on the deity hel, who is inadvertently released from prison. screenwriter eric pearson included the idea of hela being thor's sister in one of his drafts at the encouragement of executive producer brad winderbaum. the decision to make hela related to thor, as opposed to only to loki as in the comics and norse mythology, came from needing more impact with hela and thor's final confrontation. by making the change, pearson felt hela became "the thing that [represents] what it is to rule asgard, [thor's] family, what he's been told, what he hasn't been told." blanchett found it difficult to portray the character in a motion capture suit rather than costume, feeling hela's headdress is "such a huge part of" the power of the character that she would have liked to wear it on set. hela's design was taken from the comic "thor: god of thunder" by jason aaron, while the character gorr from that comic, who has the ability "to manifest an infinite number of weapons", inspired a similar ability for hela. blanchett worked with stuntwoman zoë bell and hemsworth's personal trainer luke zocchi, and studied capoeira for the role.
