‘Avengers: Endgame’ theory suggests one major villain may return

We may still have months to wait before Avengers: Endgame hits theaters, but that doesn't stop fans from speculating what's going to happen during the big showdown.

In a new theory, one fan is suggesting that we may see the return of Thor and Loki's elder sister Hela — the Asgardian Goddess of Death.

Cate Blanchett's Hela was seemingly killed during Thor: Ragnarok, by the sword of Surtur. That being said, fans think we'll see her again in one of two Asgardian locations of after-life — Valhalla or Hel.

Originally shared to the /r/Marvel Studios subreddit, the theory is based around the production's presence at Durham Cathedral. Fans speculate the cathedral could be used as a set piece for the setting of one of the after-life locations.

This isn't the first time we've seen this particular cathedral either. Its exterior was briefly used during Vision and Corvus Glaive's fight in Edinburgh during Avengers: Infinity War.

Reddit user /u/melodicbeginning also fueled the theory, pointing out that Blanchett gave an interview in front of a particular statue. A statue that was also seen in one of the leaked set photos, as well as in one of Thor's visions from Avengers: Age of Ultron.

It all seems to make so much sense! Could it be true? What do you think about this fan theory? Let us know in the comments!

Avengers: Endgame is set to hit theaters April 26.
