"And so I think in some ways, now having this new sort of problem to deal with, with her old friend Thor, it's exactly what she needs." "I think the time when she feels most of use is really in community - it's been, historically, in battle, with her tribe," Thompson concludes. But I think she feels a lack of purpose." She loves her people, and loves being able to lead for them. "You meet her with a new sort of lease on life, in a position of leadership, representing her people. "Last time around, you met her, she was quite despondent, and missing her sisters, and not dealing with her trauma, maybe, in the healthiest of ways," she continued. It's really been put on the map by the events that have happened in past movies, so it's also become this sort of tourist destination. She feels slightly less enchanted with the bureaucratic elements of New Asgard. The truth is, that's the job that Thor was going to do, and then he just gave her the job, and we just didn't bother to change the title, because the title is 'king', and she's like, 'Well, I can be king.'"Īs for how Valkyrie adapts to her newfound role, Thompson explained, "She likes it. I know there's been some confusion on the internet in terms of the gendering with her being king. "I think she's very egalitarian," the actor says. It's widely believed that we'll meet King Valkyrie's Queen in the movie, and while the Mighty Thor, Sif, and Captain Marvel are among the rumoured candidates, exactly what sort of King is the Asgardian? That was a point addressed by Tessa Thompson during a recent interview with Total Film that saw her also explain that specific choice of title for the formidable warrior. The God of Thunder has ditched the dad bod, Miek now has an actual (female) body, and Valkyrie.well, she's a King now. When we return to New Asgard in Thor: Love and Thunder, a lot of familiar faces will have changed a great deal since we last saw them.
