The more I think about it, the more it seems to make sense, since it save them having to explain a similar entity ruling over an afterlife world, and Hela already has a corporeal, female form.
On a cool related note, there are a couple lines foreshadowing Hel in Thor Ragnarok in Age of Ultron
Widow: "Thor, report on the Hulk"
Thor: "The gates of Hel are filled with the screams of his victims"
Thor: "Heimdall, your eyes."
Heimdall: "Oh, they see everything. They see you leading us to Hel."
I enjoyed the first two movies well enough, the humor in them works well enough for me, though 2 suffered from being the start of "if we don't win, the earth dies" stakes inflation fatigue for me. They catch more shit than they really deserve, just for being surrounded by better films in the rest of the same franchise.
But this is a great cast and director and Thor + Hulk is such a rich chemistry. I expect this one to win over people for whom the other Thor films fell flat.

They have the talent, now to see if it all comes together. The first Thor is decent though it has little punch to the ending. The second made me realize that it is possible to make me unenthusiastic about sci-fantasy pyrotechnics and Natalie Portman.
This is after a second viewing just yesterday to see if I was too dismissive previously. Not really.

Also, Loki says to Kurse, "See you in Hel" in TDW.

Just playing devil's advocate here but a high profile actor doesn't always push success.
Jlaw couldn't carry x men apocalypse.
Jlaw is a terrible comparison. She doesn't even want to be there
Bad comparison is bad.
Lawrence was contractually obligated for the film, Blanchett signed up for this.
Assuming Goldblum lives through Ragnarok I would put money on both being in Infinity War part 1(whatever the new title will be).
That and Cate B is a far better actress in every possible regard, with experience of great character work in a fantastical blockbuster.
Lawrence is a great actor when she really cares about the role.

Really fascinated by how Taika got the job to direct this damn thing
At this point, him being the director is the only thing that's got me excited

that's not the point
I know you know what devil's advocate means
what i said has nothing to do with the circumstances in which the actresses are involved with their respective films.

not my point. i started by saying i was being the devil's advocate first of all, and second of all, all I was saying, whatever the circumstances, a high profile actor can't always carry a movie. that's all.
