Blanchett enjoyed beating people in 'Thor...'

Los Angeles: Oscar-winning actor Cate Blanchett, who essays the fantastical character of Hela in Thor: Ragnarok, says she "really enjoyed" beating people up as the female villain of the film.
"I think so (whether Hela is the most physical role she has ever taken). I'm pretty physical when I'm on stage. 'Indiana Jones' was quite physical. But in terms of hand-to-hand combat, this definitely wins. And that's been part of what I've relished actually," Blanchett said in a statement. She said she enjoyed working with Zoe Bell, whom she called "the most extraordinary stunt person and also a wonderful actor. We had this sort of really symbiotic relationship. She's been very generous and clear and such an incredible teacher, showing me how to mime better. But also to say that this moment leads here and that there's an opportunity if you wanted to do something in here. It's not looking at a fight in a traditional way, which is a series of punches and kicks and knocking someone to the ground.
