As reported by the LA Times, Thompson, during her press day for indie film Little Woods, spoke about her character and and what she knows of this potential Thor: Ragnarok sequel."I heard that a pitch has happened for [another "Thor" film]. I don't know how real that intel is, but I hear that the pitch has happened. I think the idea is Taika [Waititi, who directed 'Ragnarok'] would come back."This move would make sense, especially considering Chris Hemsworth's recent comments about how he was "exhausted" and "underwhelmed" with Thor before Waititi came along, which was, in Hemsworth's own words, "liberating and freeing."Thompson also discussed where her character was during the events of Avengers: Infinity War, saying "Sometimes I say she was in the bar."As for Avengers: Endgame, Valkyrie appeared in color in the #AvengeTheFallen character posters, meaning she survived Thanos' infamous Snap and will most likely have a roll to play in the upcoming film that releases next week.Lastly, she also discussed the recent interaction she had with Captain Marvel's Brie Larson when they we sharing fan art of people shipping Valkyrie and Carol Danvers. "It didn't even occur to me, legitimately, that it was necessarily a romantic thing," Thompson said. "I don't even know what happens in the canon in terms of those characters or if they ever intersect, but I just love the idea of more women Marvel characters getting to intersect. I just think it's so cool and it's time and why not? There's so many compelling female characters inside of the MCU."While she loves the idea, she thinks Captain Marvel and Maria Rambeau ending up together makes a bit more sense as they have more of a history, but Thompson would still "like to have a drink with them."We will see what part Valkyrie has to play in Avengers: Endgame when it hits theaters on April 26, 2019, and find out more about her and Thor's future after.
