We’ve known for some time now that multiple Academy Award winning actressCate Blanchettwas in talk for a role in the upcomingThor: Ragnarokfilm but now we may know the role she may be playing. In a report on Entertainment Tonight they interviewed actor Mark Ruffalo who said the following:“I’m so thrilled. I saw her at the Governors’ banquet here and heard that maybe she was circling, they were talking to her about the part, so I ran up to her and I was like, ‘Please, please, please make this work!’ She’s just one of the best, and to have her play a baddie is going to be really exciting.”Schnepp, would you buy or sell Cate Blanchett as a villain in the nextThormovie?

A lot of people forget that he also appeared in a lot of movies. I was wondering what you will remember him most for in his acting career?
