Tessa Thompson teases that Valkyrie is still King of Asgard and that Thor: Love and Thunder will introduce new and not so new characters.
Marvel Studios starts its phase 4 next year. After the cinematic event that was Endgame, the studio hopes to maintain the interest of the audience. An audience is eager for new stories and new heroes. For its part, the study is already prepared. This will be the first phase in which the Disney + series are introduced directly. Wandavision kicks off in January and other titles have already been announced. Among them Thor: Love and Thunder and now Tessa Thompson advances details.
Tessa Thompson joined the MCU in Thor: Raganrok. In it, she plays Valkyrie, an ancient warrior from Asgard who had ended up on Sakaar after confronting Hela. She plays a minor role in Endgame, where we see her take over New Asgard during Thor’s crisis. At the end of the film, the god of thunder goes on an adventure with the Guardians of the Galaxy and names Valkyrie as King of New Asgard.
Shooting for Thor: Love and Thunder begins in early 2021. But Tessa Thompson can preview some details of her character and the additions. In an interview with The Playlist, he confirms that in the fourth installment of Thor, Valkyrie will continue to be King of New Asgard and that he will accompany the god of thunder in his new adventure. In addition, Tessa Thompson anticipates that we will see new characters from Marvel comics. In addition to others that we would have already met in other movies.
“Yes, I can definitely say that she is King of New Asgard when we see her again. And as has been the case in the last installments, I can say that it is part of an adventure that involves Thor. In the sense that the movie is called Thor: Love and Thunder. I can say that very interesting things are going to happen. We have new characters: some guys potentially from another one of the pockets of the MCU. And we also have other characters, which maybe we’ve seen before ”.
It has already been commented that Thor: Love and Thunder would be as big as any Avengers movie. And now Tessa Thompson confirms it by talking about the new cast. At the moment it is almost certain that The Guardians of the Galaxy will appear in the installment due to Thor leaving with them at the end of Endgame. It was also confirmed that Chris Pratt would appear in the film. But we could see other heroes of the MCU.
