Tessa Thompson Is Back
Fans of Tessa Thompson’s Marvel Cinematic Universe character Valkyrie have a lot to be excited for because the warrior is officially confirmed to appear in next month’s “Avengers: Endgame.”
Thompson’s involvement in the blockbuster was expected by MCU fans, as the character was previously confirmed to have survived Thanos’ destruction of the Asgard ship and his universe-splitting snap, but Marvel’s release of a new Valkyrie poster outright confirmed the character’s involvement in the upcoming film for the first time.
Both Marvel and Disney have been keeping Thompson’s involvement in “Endgame” a secret, leaving MCU fans to wonder if and when Thompson would reemerge in the MCU.
Valkyrie reemerged on social media this month following the release of “Captain Marvel,” and in response to the positive reaction, Thompson was recently asked by CinemaBlend about the viral Valkyrie-Captain Marvel movement.
“Of course I would love the chance to work with Brie,” Thompson said. “We were just like, ‘Look! It’s us together!’ I think we’re both new to the MCU, so we both retain the sense of like, ‘Can you believe!?’ We’re just like, ‘What? We got capes? What’s happening?!’ We’re both really geeked out by having dolls and occupying this space.”
“We’re like women’s women, so the idea of getting to do something that little girls are excited about, and people that identify as women feel excited about is cool,” Thompson continued. “So who knows if we’ll get to do something together; it’s rad. But I’m just so happy for her, and for us and what it means culturally right now.”
