Valkyrie is a fictional superhero appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. She has also appeared in a number of films taking place in the Marvel-verse, most recently in Avengers: Endgame and Thor: Love and Thunder.
Valkyrie was selected by Odin to lead his personal unit of shield-maidens and is renowned for her prowess in battle.
In the comic books, Valkyrie is clearly bi, having had relationships with both men and women, most notably archaeologist Annabelle Riggs.
Tessa Thompson has been very open that she considers Valkyrie bi and plays her that way in the Marvel movies. In a 2019 interview with Variety, she said,
In the canon, [Valkyrie] is bisexual. You see her with women and men, so that was my intention in playing her. Obviously, at the forefront of most of these stories is not typically their romantic life. They have big stakes, like saving the world, so that tends to sort of trump.
In the same interview, she also commented on online speculation about Captain Marvel, Valkyrie, and Thor.
I hear on the Internet there’s been a lot of triangular conversations around Captain Marvel, Valkyrie, and Thor, and I think a communal spoon — just a spoon between friends that are hard-working would be a nice thing…
It could be polyamorous, why not? A throuple. With Thor in the baby spoon. It’s like there’s Valkyrie, Captain Marvel, and then whoever’s sort of holding him, is what I’m thinking.
