When Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters later this year, it's set to bring a slew of new characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But according to Tessa Thompson, who plays Valkyrie in the film, no sort of romance between her and The Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) will be introduced along the way.
Thompson spoke to ComicBook.com during San Diego Comic-Con, where she reassured that the dynamic between Valkyrie and The Grandmaster will remain platonic. You can check it out above!
"I don't have any romantic relationship with The Grandmaster." Thompson explained. "It's a strictly work relationship, which is advantageous, mostly for me."
But according to Thompson, Valkyrie's work relationship with The Grandmaster will hit some unique circumstances during Ragnarok.
"I bring the Grandmaster things that may be of interest to him, and one of those happens to be Thor. [The Grandmaster is] always grouping people together in fights, and I brought The Hulk to him, and so I bring Thor as a would-be contender, and hilarity ensues."
