Marvel has a weird habit of incorporating characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the comic books and if you thought a new Editor-in-Chief would change that, think again! Now, Thor: Ragnarok's Valkyrie is coming to the company's monthly titles in the upcoming Exiles series as the previously unrevealed fifth member of the team but this version hails from an alternate universe.
"The Exiles version of Valkyrie is a bit different from what we've seen in comics thus far," explains series writer Saladin Ahmed. "Our Valkyrie is known as the Lone Defender of Asgard, and she's a tankard-draining, maiden-wooing, giant-slaying thunderbolt of a woman. Though she's not technically from the Marvel Cinematic Universe reality, she's basically the literalization of the larger-than-her-physical-frame swagger Tessa Thompson displayed in Thor: Ragnarok, turned up to 11."
Exiles is going to be all about alternate universe versions of various Marvel heroes so this Valkyrie's appearance makes sense even if it does feel a little forced and arguably unnecessary. What do you guys think? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
