Rumor: Thor: Ragnarok may have female lead villain

The latest Thor: Ragnarok rumor says the film's main villain may be a woman.

Valkyrie isn't the only new female character Marvel is reportedly bringing to the MCU with Thor 3, as Lainey Gossip has heard the studio is "also planning on bringing their first major female villain into their cinematic universe" and "will pursue a big name actress for Mystery Villainess—like Cate Blanchett big."


While the character's identity is unknown, the outlet notes a few possible candidates, including Amora the Enchantress and Hela, Queen of the Dead.

Just last month, it was confirmed that Mark Ruffalo's Hulk would have a significant role in Ragnarok, with the pair reportedly set to embark on a cosmic road trip. Both Valkyrie and Enchantress are rumored to appear as well.

Thor: Ragnarok will film in Australia and is set to open in theaters on November 3, 2017.
