The solemnisation surroundingThor : Ragnarok’sValkyrie being theMarvel Cinematic Universe ’s first LGBTQ heromay have been untimely , as actress Tessa Thompson has now elucidate her remark about the character ’s bisexuality .

YES ! Val is Bi in the comics & I was close to that in her depiction . But her gender is n’t explicitly addressed in Thor : Ragnarok.https://t.co/hmb5lYN5to — Tessa Thompson ( @TessaThompson_x)October 23 , 2017
Though Valkyrie would have been the first LGBTQ character in the movies , two persona in Marvel ’s television receiver display are openly homosexual : factor of S.H.I.E.L.D.recurring character and hidden warrior member Joey Gutierrez ( Juan Pablo Raba ) and Jeri Hogarth ( Carrie - Ann Moss ) who has appeared onJessica Jones , Iron Fist , DaredevilandThe Defenders .
The comic book fiber was created in 1970 but was n’t think of by devotee as epicene until the character appeared as a member of an all - female team inFearless Defenders , a deed of conveyance that was published in 2013 . In the serial publication , it was strongly hint that Valkyrie could be epicene when archaelogist Annabelle Riggs grow wild-eyed feeling for Valkyrie and snog her . After the two developed a close blond , Valkyrie and Riggs were unite into one body . Prior toFearless Defenders , Valkyrie was only seen in relationship with men .
The case was a love life interestingness of Nighthawk while a member of the Defenders , and also had an attraction to the Black Knight , which was actually because of magic . It was later established that the character had quixotic history with Thor . More recently , Valkyrie was imply with Agent Venom while the two were dish up in the Secret Avengers .
It could be that there will be another probability for fans to see more mite of Valkyrie ’s sexuality when she next appears inAvengers : Infinity War , though with such a huge cast of characters , it may be difficult to devote any time to this facial expression of the character . Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said in 2015 that fans would see a LGBTQ character within the next 10 years , but it stay to be seen if that persona was Valkyrie or a character we have yet to meet .
