11 Major Cameos To Expect In Avengers: Age Of Ultron

9. Hela

When the second trailer for Ultron appeared, one of the immediate responses was to question who the mysterious woman above was. Some suggested it was T'Challa's sister Shuri, based on assumptions that Wakanda is going to feature at least briefly, but the fact that she's standing beside a pool (and the suggestion of her costume) seems to link her more closely to Thor. Could this be Hela - the Asgardian version of Death? That would certainly fit with the assumption that Thor is going to die and wind up in Valhalla (hence his angry, naked emergence from the water pool in the first trailer that looks suspiciously like this same pool). And it makes more sense than Thor just having a very irritated, impromptu bath in Wakanda while Ultron tries to ruin the world. Why She'll Appear Depending on who you believe, Thor is either going to die for real or he's going to suffer visions of his death thanks to Scarlet Witch. It could be a case of both, really, but either way, a dead Asgardian comes hand in hand with the God of the afterlife.
