It's mahvel, baby.
Cate Blanchett, coming off her best actress nomination for the 1950s drama Carol, is in final negotiations to join Thor: Ragnarok, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The move comes a little more than a week after the Marvel Studios project hired Stephany Folsom to work on the script.
It is unclear what character Blanchett would play but several sources say that Marvel has been on the hunt for a bad-ass female.
Taika Waititi, who co-wrote and co-directed the vampire spoof What We Do In the Shadows, is directing the project, the third installment of Marvels Thor movies.
Chris Hemsworth will be back as the Norse god of thunder for the film that is also due to feature a team-up with the Hulk.
