Marvel director Taika Waititi has said he is “comfortable” exploring Valkyrie’s sexuality in Thor: Love and Thunder but will follow the wishes of lead actor Tessa Thompson.
When asked by Variety if Valkyrie will be explicitly queer in the new Thor, Waititi replied: “I think so”.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige previously said Valkyrie would be openly queer in Thor: Love and Thunder.
“How that impacts the story remains to be seen with that level of representation you’ll see across our films, not in just Thor 4,” Feige said.
