Thor: Ragnarok features the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first character from the LGBTQ+ community, it’s been revealed.
This makes Valkyrie the first explicitly non-heterosexual character in the movie branch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It’s nice to know that Thompson is aware of this comic book history, and that she considers the live-action Valkyrie to share the sexuality of her comic book counterpart.
But the cinematic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a uniformly hetero place – until now.
