Avengers: Infinity War co-director Joe Russo has confirmed the survival of a certain fan favorite character from previous adventures.
Given that the fate of half the universe is at stake in Avengers: Infinity War, it made sense some important characters would need to die.
Given that Ragnarok ends with the destruction of Asgard and Avengers: Infinity War opens with a fairly dark scene, it would have been a little traumatizing for audiences if fan favorite newcomer Valkyrie was killed off so soon too.
Some fans were also concerned about the fate of Thor: Ragnarok’s Valkyrie, played by Tessa Thompson, since Ragnarok ends and Infinity War opens with Thanos attacking the fleeting Asgard escape ship.
