The main antagonist of Thor: Ragnarok, Hela, and the Asgardian Goddess of Death continuously reigned supreme throughout her first appearance, with the might of her demonic powers and the ability to stop Mjolnir. So, now that Love and Thunder is here, is the Hela in this latest film? We’ll tell you everything you need to know about the estranged sister of Thor and Loki.

Is Hela in Thor: Love and Thunder?

Hela played a crucial role in Thor: Ragnarok as the new ruler of Asgard, yet she is not present in Love and Thunder. On the contrary, you could count Melissa McCarthy’s rendition of the character in the play within the movie, which displays other cameos like Matt Damon as Loki and Luke Hemsworth as Thor. So, at least fans got a slight reference to the Goddess of Death in a hilarious parody of what happened in Ragnarok.

The character was first introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe when she showed up after the death of Odin Borson, the father of Thor, Hela, and Loki. The events that transpire afterward result in the brutal murders of many soldiers, Asgard’s invasion, and her brothers’ banishment. But, by the end of Ragnarok, we see Hela get killed by Surtur, the fire demon, as he destroys the magical realm, fulfilling the catastrophic prophecy.

Although she is presumed dead in the movies, fans still question if Hela could have survived Surtur’s attack, especially when you look at her journey in the comics. For example, in X-Factor Issue 251, she battles alongside the Hell-Lords to defeat the X-Factor and Mephisto. In addition, she is, in fact, the Goddess of Death, so it would be no surprise for her to be alive in future installments.

Now that you know that Hela isn’t in Thor: Love and Thunder, you can still see Melissa McCarthy’s portrayal in the newest movie. If you would like to view more Marvel content, you can check out the relevant links below and read our feature on 10 questions we have after Thor: Love and Thunder.
