Tessa Thompson first joined the MCU as Valkyrie\u00a0in 2017’s\u00a0Thor: Ragnarok, and later reprised the role in\u00a0Avengers: Endgame,\u00a0Thor: Love and Thunder, and\u00a0The Marvels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the actress isn’t among those confirmed to appear in\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday, there’s plenty more for Marvel Studios to do\u00a0with the King of Asgard. Rumour has it the\u00a0Captain Marvel\u00a0sequel was going to explore Valkyrie’s romantic history with Carol Danvers, only for the Disney-owned studio to ultimately decide against it (based on comments from filmmaker Nia DaCosta<\/a>, the movie was in a constant state of flux).<\/p>\n

That would have been a fun dynamic to continue exploring heading into the next Avengers movies\u2014Brie Larson also hasn’t been announced as starring in Doomsday as we write this\u2014and with Thor getting serious, the opportunity is there to do the same with Valkyrie.<\/p>\n

Talking to The Playlist<\/a>, Thompson was asked about recently being spotted in the UK and whether she filmed any scenes for Avengers: Doomsday. “Oh, [I\u2019m] not able to confirm anything,” the actress quickly\u00a0replied, neither confirming nor denying her MCU future. Intriguing, right?<\/p>\n

The His & Hers star did, however, express a desire to return to the MCU. “Yeah, definitely. And I think this is the coolest thing about hanging out inside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: all the incredible people that you get to play with, both the incredible craftspeople that create these worlds, all the amazing directors that they invite into these spaces, and all of the incredible talent.”<\/p>\n

“And also, I think there are so many tonal spaces you can go to inside of a Marvel movie,” Thompson added. “You can explore drama and comedy, and there\u2019s so much to do,”\u00a0she continued. “And I just love the character so much that I would always be interested. For sure.”<\/p>\n

In Netflix’s His & Hers, Thompson stars alongside another MCU actor: Daredevil: Born Again and Spider-Man: Brand New Day star Jon Bernthal. However, as much as fans might like to imagine them sitting around discussing a possible between Valkyrie and The Punisher, it never really came up.<\/p>\n

“You know what\u2019s so funny is we never ever did that,” she shared. “But it wasn\u2019t something we ever really spoke about, except towards the end of shooting. You know, we keep in touch, and we\u2019re friends,\u201d she said. \u201cI know he is preparing to come back and do ‘Punisher.’\u00a0So then we talked about it in that context, but more as just actors that work in that world.”<\/p>\n

Thompson concluded, “But we never talked about our characters in relation to each other. I\u2019m curious how they get along. We probably should have.”<\/p>\n

If Valkyrie does appear in Avengers: Doomsday, then we’d bet on it being in a relatively minor role. The Russos already have more than enough characters to focus on, and it seems the bigger priority will be reestablishing Thor’s status quo after he became too much of a comedic figure in 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0is set to be released on December 18, with\u00a0Avengers: Secret Wars\u00a0scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tessa Thompson first joined the MCU as Valkyrie\u00a0in 2017’s\u00a0Thor: Ragnarok, and later reprised the role in\u00a0Avengers: Endgame,\u00a0Thor: Love…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406641,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,22160,134,344,130167],"class_list":{"0":"post-406640","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-avengers-doomsday","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-tessa-thompson"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
