Thor: Ragnarok

Doesn't Hela specifically refer to herself and Thor as gods in one of the trailers?

Yup. As has Loki in the past. Odin says otherwise quite vehemently, though really it's a matter of semantics more than anything. Small 'g', as Ego said.
 
Nice piece although I wish there was more than just a paragraph for each actor. Still, I'm thrilled to read that the score invokes Jean-Michel Jarre! :D
 
IGN has posted a new article about Hela which reveals some interesting tidbits about her.
Apparently the scene with the Valkyries attacking Hela is a flashback. There was at least one real horse used for the scene, because Cate Blanchett talks about it galloping through the studio.
Hela's look evolves and gets more complex as the movie goes on and she gets more powerful. Blanchett was pretty closely involved with designing her look, and they worked to make sure it wasn't to close to Loki's.
Former stunt woman turned actress Zoe Bell went back to the stunt work and served as as Cate Blanchett's stunt double for Ragnarok just because she wanted work with the movie's stunt coordinator, Ben Cooke, and director Taika Waititi. .
 
It's kind of obvious Hela gets her first big power-up when she shatters Mjolnir, because we see her growing her Horn-Hat while saturated in some Orange Energy that's probably an Infinity Stone.

I think the last Stone is IN Mjolnir, Thor never knew and Hela did. She shatters it, absorbs its power and this turns her into the Horned Hela.
 
Cool news about Zoe Bell. I remember her work all the way back to Xena. Considering her New Zealand roots, it's no surprise she wanted to work with Taika Waititi.
