Thor: Ragnarok is still a few days away from its premiere, but it’s already making history. And no, we're not talking about Chris Hemsworth's killer training routine.

Tessa Thompson, the actress who plays Valkyrie in the soon to be blockbuster film, confirmed on Twitter that her character is bisexual. This makes Valkyrie the first confirmed LGBTQ character in a Marvel Studios movie.

“She’s bi,” the actress wrote on Twitter, replying to a fan’s comment about her character’s sexuality. “And yes, she cares very little about what men think of her. What a joy to play!”

In a later tweet, Thompson added, "Val is Bi in the comics & I was faithful to that in her depiction. But her sexuality isn't explicitly addressed in Thor: Ragnarok."

As ComicBook.com explained, Marvel has come under criticism in the past for only portraying straight romantic relationships both on television and in movies. However, as Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn said in April, just because they aren’t on screen doesn’t mean those relationships don’t exist.

“There are a lot of gay people in the world. There are a lot of bisexual people in the world. There are a lot of characters in the MCU. We've barely gotten to know the sexuality of any of those characters,” Gunn told Digital Spy. “We know Gamora and Quill are interested in each other. That's about the only sexual relationship that exists within the Guardians. We know Drax has a past with a wife so he's got some sort of interest in women. But we don't really know who's gay and who's not. It could be any of them.”

Of course, the fact that she's bisexual is far from the only interesting thing about Valkyrie, who is an ally of Thor’s (played by Hemsworth). She has a fascinating backstory, carries an enchanted sword, ages much slower than humans, and can even sense death coming.

So, yeah, she’s got a lot going on.
