Cate Blanchett Talks Her Costume In 'Thor: Ragnarok'

If there is one thing we can all agree on is that Cate Blanchett's costume in Thor: Ragnarok looks absolutely stunning. We've known it was going to look good from the moment we saw the first piece of concept art but the more footage we see the better it all looks. In an interview with E! Online Blanchett talked her fantastic costume and that most of it was done in post-production.

Half of my costume was done in post. So a lot of the time I was trying to look fierce and bad and indomitable in a mocap suit which is pretty hard to do. That's a lot of polyester to wear in Queensland.

As if this amazing woman had to try hard to look badass even in a mocap suit. Despite the fact that it wasn't exactly comfortable she considered herself lucky compared to co-star Chris Hemsworth.

It wasn't so bad. I think the restroom is harder for Chris [Hemsworth]. But Mark [Ruffalo] and I were wearing mocap suits a lot, which are very easy to go in. And probably no one would notice if you did it in the suit, they're so horrendous. But I did not.

When she took on the role of Hela Blanchett didn't realize she would be doing a first for Marvel Studios and inhabiting their first female villain.

"I didn't realize… I was inhabiting the first female Marvel villain onscreen," the actress said. "I thought, 'Surely not… well, no actually that's true.' There's been many, many, many [female villains] in the comic books, but they've been a little tardy in bringing them to the screen, so hopefully there will be a lot more villainesses."

If there was ever someone to make an impact as the first female villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe it's Cate Blanchett.

Summary: Imprisoned, the mighty Thor finds himself in a lethal gladiatorial contest against the Hulk, his former ally. Thor must fight for survival and race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home and the Asgardian civilization.

Thor: Ragnarok, directed Taika Waititi, stars Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, Idris Elba, and Mark Ruffalo. It will be released on November 3rd.
