Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Would make sense with how the MCU likes to make things simple even if I don't like it. Why have 2 death gods with one for asgardians and 1 for everyone else? The comics have multiple death gods and devils and demons but I can't see the MCU going into a examination of all the different realms of death or how Mistress Death is the most important one(partly because if she dies death dies with her and the universe will overflow with life which isn't a good thing
◊).

It would be pretty cool if every single death personification in the MCU were played by Cate Blanchett. Maybe Thor ends up seeing Lady Death during Infnity War and openly wonders why she looks so similar to Hela and Lady Death just answers something like "All deaths lead to me"
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
A quick google search says that it hasn't been officially announced by Marvel.
Having said that, I remember hearing about an interview where Mark Ruffalo let it slip in an interview that she was in talks to play a villain in Thor 3, but didn't specify which villain. It was only later that reports of her playing Hela emerged.
I'm hoping that MCU!Hela is Loki's daughter and a Composite Character with Lady Death, whom Thanos is in love with.
(Also, fedora-shaming is a meme that needs to die)
edit: What's Hell Cat doing in a Thanos story?

It's possible. Economical, even. We'll see where they go with her.
Oh God! Natural light!
