Will Hela be revealed

I know in Norse mythology that Hela is meant to be Loki s daughter but will they stick to that in the film do you think or not?

Hela was originally Loki's daughter in the Marvel comics too, but they gave her a new origin story a few years back which is way too complicated to try and explain. Basically, Loki created her rather than fathered her in the traditional sense. I don't know if they'll carry that relationship through to the MCU, but I'd definitely like to see some kind of connection between the two characters because they're a lot of fun together in the comics.

Most daughters are not twelve years older than their fathers. Cate Blanchett is twelve years older than Tom Hiddleston.

These characters are also essentially immortals that are centuries, if not millenia, old. So the physical appearance of the actors doesn't really mean much for the age of teh characters. Especially ones like Loki they can alter their appearance. So Hela might look older than Loki but that doesn't mean that she is.

I doubt it since Cate Blanchett is older than Hiddleston.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Pretty much irrelevant. We are talking Hela and Loki, not Cate Blanchett and Tom Hiddleston. The latter are playing the former, but they are not the former.

I get tired with folks obsessing over relative age of actors and thinking characters must be identical to the actors portraying them.

I don't even care what her background is, I just hope Blanchett has fun with her role and hams it up to eleven like only she can. 

Any connection between the two would surely be astounding to watch. However, the simple thought of them interacting is exciting enough.

And yes, Cate having a ball with the role and giving it her best is what I would expect to see from her in the movie above anything else.

I have a theory they will switch it up and have Hela as his mother.

She's Thor's big sister.
