10 Actresses Who Can Play Thor On The Big Screen

3. An All-Powerful Elf Queen - Cate Blanchett

A second Hobbit veteran finds herself at number 3 on our list. Two-time Academy Award winner, Cate Blanchett has the ability to play seemingly any role. She seems to have a limitless range, playing everyone from Queen Elizabeth to Bob Dylan. After roles like that, Thor should be a walk in the park. Cate Blanchett€™s vetted acting chops should be enough to qualify her for literally any role imaginable; however, her work as Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies puts her close to the top of our list. Blanchett€™s audition tape could consist of nothing more than the scene in Fellowship of the Ring where she terrifies Frodo with a display of her awesome magical powers. The world of Asgard shares many of the same mythological creatures as Tolkien€™s Middle Earth, so Blanchett should feel right at home among the Norse Gods. Blanchett brought an otherworldly quality to the Galadriel that could translate well into a portrayal of a mythical Goddess with the power to control lightning. Further cementing her case, Blanchett is one of only six actresses to win Oscars for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Her impressive resume would leave her high in the running to play the Asgardian heroine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spHEw2n9LwE
