Tessa Thompson’s Thor: Ragnarok Role Rumored To Be Revealed

Earlier this week, Creed‘s Tessa Thompson joined the cast of upcoming Marvel film Thor: Ragnarok. A new rumor may have revealed who the actress is playing.

According to the Latino Review, following up on previous rumors, Thompson will be playing the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Valkyrie.

This is specifically Brunnhilde, the Valkyrie, leader of the Valkyrior and, in the comics universe, member of the Avengers and Defenders. This is an important distinction since other Valkyries are also reported to be involved with the movie, specifically in a battle with the goddess Hela.

Thor: Ragnarok is being directed by Taika Waititi. Chris Hemsworth will reprise his role as the God of Thunder, Thor, and Mark Ruffalo will co-star as Bruce Banner, a.k.a. the Hulk. Cate Blanchett will play the film’s villain, whose identity hasn’t been officially announced.
