Tessa Thompson reveals which characters she’s like to see in a Valkyrie solo movie

Marvel will soon reveal its plans for Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and plenty of characters are itching to get a solo film or series. Tessa Thompson recently announced which characters she’d like to see in a Valkyrie solo movie, and the list includes some heavy hitters from Marvel’s expansive universe.

Speaking with Cinepop, Thompson revealed which characters would pair best with Valkyrie for a solo Asgardian adventure.

“Well I really miss Mark Ruffalo and I really miss Banner and Hulk so I think he’d be my number one pick. And then really anyone from Wakanda. I would love to be able to fight alongside any of the incredible Wakandans, particularly all the incredible female warriors. I think Valkyrie would really relate to them. In our film we have Toothngasher and Toothgrinder, two new intergalactic goats. And they would have to be with me and of course Miek would have to be with me. Now I think the Wakandans are the only great fighters in this bunch, but I think we would do okay.”

The thought of Valkyrie reuniting with Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk is exciting, but teaming up with fierce members of Wakanda’s Dora Milaje sounds like a dream come true. I agree that Valkyrie would fit right in with the warrior group, not to mention how cool it would be to see Thompson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Danai Gurira dominating the screen. I’m not sure if I can see Toothngasher, Toothgrinder, and Miek entering the mix, but Marvel has a way of making things work.

While Marvel and Disney have not announced official plans for a Valkyrie solo movie or television series, it could happen. Thompson’s MCU tenure is young, and Valkyrie has become a fan favorite among many since the character’s Thor: Ragnarok debut. I’d love to see Thomson offered a more prominent role in the future, be it as the King of Asgard or otherwise.
