We've already seen some of Andy Park's alternate designs for Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok, but the artist has now shared some more early concept ideas for the character, and it turns out she could have wound up looking very different than any comic book incarnation we've seen in the past.

Park reveals that director Taika Waititi had originally envisioned the Asagardian warrior wearing a mask and hood, with spiked mace gauntlets covering her hands. Not too surprisingly, his plans changed when Tessa Thompson was cast in the role.

Check out two pieces of artwork below, and let us know if you prefer this to the character design they ultimately went with for the movie.

I hated how they revamped the idea of Valkyrie, but it makes sense if she was originally meant to be Caiera in a Planet Hulk script. They mae have just lazily swapped her for an Asgardian when they crammed a Thor script into their Hulk script.

@MrPositive - Yes, that's what I'm saying. I bet she was originally meant to be Caiera. Even her outfit in the film resembled Caiera.

@UltimateCarnage - Salty about a cool character getting mangled onscreen? A little. But it doesn't ire me more than how they screwed up the Ragnorak story. I over the Contest of Champions part though! It should have just been that and no Asgardians.
