The latter has been confirmed as the big villain of the film, but that's the only real detail that's been released about the character.

Blanchett took the time to share some details about Hela's backstory - and motivation - in te film, and she sounds like a force to be reckoned with.

"She's been locked away for millennia getting more and more cross, and then, with a mistake, she gets unleashed and she ain't getting back in that box."

The article also noted that Blanchett did a lot of work with Zoe Bell - an accomplished stuntwoman - to prepare for the role. She even learned the Brazillian martial art capoeira in order to be more portray the warrior.

Hela is going to be on a warpath during this film, and it's not looking good for Thor and Hulk. Anyone who stands in Hela's way needs to be ready for some serious danger.
