"There's this great illustration of them in a kiss," swoons Thompson, and while Valkyrie has yet to meet Annabelle in her Hollywood timeline – and who knows if she'll get to – she convinced Waititi to shoot a glimpse of a woman walking out of Valkyrie's bedroom. Thompson even summoned the courage to pitch Waititi on making Valkyrie bisexual, based on her comic book relationship with anthropologist Annabelle Riggs. It was unclear if this would be explicitly addressed in the film, but in a new profile in Rolling Stone (via ScreenCrush) it’s revealed that they did shoot a scene that would have made Valkyrie’s sexuality explicit-but it was cut: Thompson recently took to Twitter to confirm that like in the recent comics, her version of Valkyrie is bisexual. In the comics, Valkyrie is as WASP-y as can be, but Ragnarok director Taika Waititi and Marvel wanted to shake things up while giving an incredibly talented actress a chance to shine. Tessa Thompson ( Creed) fills the role of Valkyrie in the sequel, which already is a race-swapped bit of casting. And with Thor: Ragnarok, it turns out the studio almost introduced its first LGBTQ character in a big way. But with Captain Marvel on the way and Black Panther looking to be decidedly badass, it looks like Marvel is attempting to make up for lost time a bit. Ant-Man and the Wasp-the studio’s 20th film-will be its first with a female co-lead, and Black Panther-the studio’s 18th film-will be its first with a person of color in the lead role. While the Marvel Studios films have certainly been fun and well reviewed, there are still a few areas in which they’re lacking.
