A theory I've seen multiple times online is that Hela will take the place of Mistress Death as the object of Thanos' affection in Avengers: Infinity War. In a possible case of brand synergy, Thanos and Hela entered into a relationship in the last issue of The Unworthy Thor. Regardless of that, I'd say the chances of Hela sticking around are high, because I feel like Cate Blanchett wouldn't accept a one-off villain role; Marvel would have offered an actress of her caliber something that demanded she have a significant multi-picture presence.
