According to Deadline, Tessa Thompson (Creed, Selma, Annihilation) has joined the cast of Thor: Ragnarok in an undisclosed, but very interesting sounding role.

The trade reckons her character will be Chris Hemsworth's new love interest (unlucky, Jane), and will also be "a kind of superhero that will appear in other Marvel films as well."

Could this be Valkyrie, perhaps? That would gel with the "kind of superhero" description, but how likely is it that the character would be utilized for other movies? Le us know who you think Thompson will be playing in the usual place.

Thor: Ragnarok is being directed by Taika Waititi and also stars Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Jamie Alexander, Mark Ruffalo and Lou Ferrigno. The movie is set to hit theatres on November 3rd, 2017.

Valkyrie hype!

Can't wait to see her in HBO'S Westworld and Alex Garland's follow-up to Ex Machina, which stars Natalie Portman, lol.

I'm thinking Valkyrie.

The Wrap also says she's expected to appear in multiple films:

The 'love interest' bit is odd, since that role could be given to Sif if they don't want Jane back.

But I love Tessa Thompson and if we're getting another female super-hero, I'm ALL IN for this

Awesome!

Also the article mentioned Natalie Portman isn't returning. I wonder how the movie will explain that.
