Cate Blanchett has revealed she has Thor's hammer at home, which she took home after starring as Hela in the Marvel movie series.
Cate Blanchett has revealed she has Thor's hammer at home.
The 50-year-old actress has starred in several iconic movie franchises including 'Lord of the Rings' - in which she played Galadriel - and Marvel's 'Thor' series, where she played Hela, Thor's older sister.
And she has now revealed she has a growing collection of memorabilia from her time on the movie sets, which she has been reconnected with after clearing out her attic during the coronavirus pandemic.
She said: ''I've been clearing out my attic, and I was looking for my elf ears [which she wore as Galadriel in 'Lord of the Rings'], and I couldn't find them. Couldn't find them, but I did find Tauriel's fighting blades. Pretty cool. Some people are stocking toilet paper, but I got these.''
When asked why Evangeline Lilly - who played Tauriel - doesn't have her character's swords, Cate then added: ''I don't know! Actually ... you did not see those. Don't speak to Evangeline Lilly anytime soon.''
The blonde beauty also joked when she revealed her prop version of Thor's mighty hammer Mjolnir - which she took home after appearing in 2017's 'Thor: Ragnarok' - as she claimed taking the hammer caused the shut down of 'Thor: Love and Thunder'.
The movie - which is due to be released in 2022 - was filming in Australia before the coronavirus pandemic caused filming to be postponed.
Cate told Stephen Colbert during an episode of his 'Late Show': ''And you know how that 'Thor' film was shut down in Australia? It wasn't anything to do with COVID-19, it's because I got the hammer. I have Mjolnir here. And I can ... look how easy I can lift it.''
