Rumour has it the Captain Marvel sequel was going to explore Valkyrie&#8217;s romantic history with Carol Danvers, only for the Disney-owned studio to ultimately decide against it (<a href=\"https:\/\/comicbookmovie.com\/avengers\/avengers-doomsday\/the-marvels-director-nia-dacosta-talks-post-production-issues-and-visiting-the-avengers-doomsday-set-a224348\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>based on comments from filmmaker Nia DaCosta<\/strong><\/a>, the movie was in a constant state of flux).<\/p>\n<p>During a recent interview with\u00a0Perri Nemiroff, Tessa Thompson addressed her MCU future and revealed that she hopes to share the screen with Sebastian Stan&#8217;s Bucky Barnes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;One of the things that is so cool about getting to play in the MCU is obviously all the incredible actors that you get to act alongside,&#8221;<\/strong> she started. <strong>&#8220;Then also, depending on the tone of the film that you exist in, you get to find these new facets of the character.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;So, I feel like I&#8217;ve mostly existed in kind of a comedic space with Valkyrie, but I&#8217;m curious if I were in a film that felt less comedic, how she would show up in those particular spaces,&#8221; <\/strong>Thompson continued. <strong>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what his character would bring out in me, necessarily, but I just really love Sebastian.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;We really want to make something together eventually. It might not be in the MCU, but I just think he&#8217;s such a tremendous actor, and it would be so fun to get to play with him,&#8221; <\/strong>the actress added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Valkyrie: New Avenger? Count us in.<\/p>\n<p>In the same interview, Thompson talked about joining the MCU with Thor: Ragnarok and hinted at having a very different experience on other movies she&#8217;s appeared in for Marvel Studios.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I felt really excited. Taika [Waititi] was an indie filmmaker that I really loved and respected, and really liked his films. We really approached making [my] first Thor with that kind of indie spirit. For me, obviously, the scale was different than making independent films, but the energy of making it felt very scrappy, I guess, in a way that was really refreshing.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;But that is not true of all of the films necessarily,&#8221; <\/strong>she mused.\u00a0<strong>&#8220;So, I think that&#8217;s something that I kind of came into the MCU thinking, &#8216;Oh, well, that&#8217;s what the experience of making these films is like,&#8217; and that isn\u2019t always the case.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thompson also weighed in on what she called a <strong>&#8220;common misconception&#8221;<\/strong> that doing a Marvel movie is a <strong>&#8220;one for you and one for them&#8221;<\/strong> deal. The Hedda star noted, <strong>&#8220;Typically, I think something like Marvel gets bracketed in this space of &#8216;one for them,&#8217; and I didn&#8217;t have that relationship to it when I joined it.&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many actors do seem to have the attitude that they need to star in a Marvel movie to then go off and do smaller, independent projects. While that wasn&#8217;t how Thompson initially approached Valkyrie, we have seen that pay off for several MCU stars who make their money as a superhero and then pursue indie passion projects (Elizabeth Olsen is always a good example of that).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can hear from Thompson in the player below.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tessa Thompson first joined the MCU in 2017&#8217;s Thor: Ragnarok, and later reprised the role in Avengers: Endgame,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":152152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[434,18,117,19,17,73212,89065],"class_list":{"0":"post-152151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-tessa-thompson","14":"tag-valkyrie"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115459570426946153","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
