I can just imagine Zack Snyder looking at these and being confused by all the colour on display.

That picture's interesting. I wish Hela was a bit more traditional, and had the whole "half normal half rotting corpse" appearance that's fairly distinctive. valkyrie looks bland and like she won't be anywhere near as interesting as the comic version. The synopsis is really just "Marvel didn't want to let Universal distribute a Hulk sequel, so here's Planet Hulk with Thor tacked on". That doesn't mean the movie will be bad, far from it. But it looks like it won't be the Asgard focused Thor movie I've wanted since the first movie came out.
Yeah, I sometimes wonder if Snyder is aware that non-muted colors even exist.

Grandmaster: Thor, uh, needs to be ripped limb from limb. And the Hulk ... well, if there's one thing that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taught us, it's that the Hulk cannot be contained. The Hulk breaks free, it expands to new territories, even to new realms in space. The Hulk crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but ... uh, well ... there it is.
Loki: There it is...
Hela: You're implying that assembling an arena full of super-humans, monsters, and gods from the Nine Realms to fight to the death will ... backfire on us?
Grandmaster: No. I'm simply saying that, uh, the Hulk, uh, the Hulk finds a way.

Are you referring to mythology or comics? It looks pretty true to the comics. I can't tell if she has a cape (she does need that), but the only thing she's missing there is the hat. That would be an area of concern, but the half rotting corpse thing doesn't sound familiar.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about
It's weird seeing Thor with short hair. Anyway I'm hoping that this movie is a lot better than the previous Thor film. That was horrible.
They did show her with the hat in some of the concept art that was released, so it's at least been considered.
Actually, at least in later comics, she has been shown as half rotten, but the rotten half is usually covered up by her costume (I want to say that either Kieron Gillen's Journey Into Mystery or PAD's good X-Factor run that used this). It originally came from the norse myths, I think. The wikipedia page on the norse version mentions half her body being blue or black and the other like flesh, and I've read at least one fantasy book that's more faithful to norse mythology then Marvel that has half her body being rotten).
The Marvel Wiki says her cloak is what makes her look normal, which is why she can even wear skimpy stuff sometimes and look normal. When she takes off the cloak, half her body is a rotting corpse. I'm sure that is what I saw in one of the books I mentioned, although I don't know who introduced it to the comics. I guess it makes sense that they normally keep her not looking so freaky.
So, yeah, her costume looks ok in the pics, and I'm not that broken up over losing the hat. I just think it would establish her as a pretty freaky villain if they showed even a glimpse of her true form in the movie at some point, although its just something I'd like to see, it won't be a big issue if it doesn't happen.
They are related in the comics...both Elders of the Universe.
Cool. That answers that, then!
Neither of the Thor films was any good.
