Thor is going to have an unexpected reunion with The Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok but it sounds like the God of Thunder's first meeting with Valkyrie is going to have an even more significant impact on the hero. While most fans have assumed she's being introduced as a new love interest following the departure of Natalie Portman's Jane Foster, it sounds like Thor is a fanboy when it comes to Valkyrie.
"It’s like Thor’s meeting his hero," Hemsworth revealed in a recent interview with Collider. "He’s absolutely smitten by her, and because of her history being Valkyrie and all that. But she’s also this beautiful woman, so he’s kind of caught off guard. She could have him if she wanted. I think he hasn’t come up against that very often." As a result, the dynamic between these two is...unique!
"Valkyrie becomes sort of a part of this team," actress Tessa Thompson explained. "When we meet her, she’s hanging out on another planet called Sakaar and she is sort of this Asgardian expat … She meets Thor and Hulk, and she has sort of a similar goal that they do. They become friends and kind of teammates in a way." We'll have to wait and see if romance beckons but it'll be fun finding out!
