Do THOR: RAGNAROK's Loki And Valkyrie Actually Have Romantic Tension?
A few days ago, a mysterious photo of Loki and Valkyrie having a small disagreement involving knives surfaced and thanks to EW we now have some (intriguing) context for the Thor: Ragnarok scene.
It seems that leaked photo a few days ago of Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie and Tom Hiddleston's Loki engaging in a bit of knife fighting actually had some romantic implications? Most fans assumed Valkyrie was being brought into the Thor franchise as a new love interest for Chris Hemsworth's Thor but what if she's actually to be paired with the God of Mischief?
Speaking to EW, Thomspon says her character and Loki actually have a lot in common at first glance. "Eventually she figures out Lok’s not to be trusted. I just think there’s something about two folks that kind of come from the same place in a sense, that have the same chip on their shoulder in a way. There’s a thin line between how much they hate and love each other."
With so little known about Valkyrie's backstory it's hard to determine whether this love/hate relationship existed before she departed Asgard or whether Loki and Valkyrie are meeting for the first time on the Taika Waititi orchestrated adventure.
Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters on November 3.

Will he win his freedom, rescue Hulk and return to Asgard in time to save his people and defeat the villainous Hela?
