Tessa Thompson has been a champion of Valkyrie’s sexuality from the start, however wouldn’t you realize, Marvel deemed a scene confirming it too “distracting” in Thor: Ragnarok. However the MCU has gotten a bit extra homosexual since then, so does Thor: Love And Thunder lastly let the Asgardian warrior be out and proud?
“We talked about it lots, it was large matter of dialog,” Thompson explains in an interview with Yahoo! Leisure. “As a result of I feel rightfully there’s this actual need in audiences to see characters be very clearly queer or LGBTQIA+ inside these areas. And I feel it’s massively essential to have illustration.”
She continues, “And in addition, I feel as people I feel that we’re not outlined by our sexuality, and by who we love. And so generally I feel to hold a story fully on that may be a approach of truly diminishing the humanity of the character. Since you don’t enable them to be anything. … It turns into the one storyline, notably in a film like this the place you don’t, frankly, have plenty of room for storyline.”
Okay… not sounding too promising, actually. However Thompson has a optimistic spin on how that character was represented within the film: “[There] was plenty of dialog when it comes to tips on how to deal with that with Valkyrie. And I really feel actually good, personally, about the place we obtained to. I hope that she’s a personality that followers proceed to connect with, that we now have plenty of time to discover her, in all of her humanity. However whether or not or not she finds love on this film doesn’t imply she’s not nonetheless a superb queer character that’s open to discovering love when it is smart.”
