Thor: Love & Thunder has a few returns already confirmed, and Tessa Thompson says there could be even more. Thompson is reprising her role as Valkyrie in the MCU film alongside Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Taika Waititi, Natalie Portman and Jamie Alexander — as well as new player Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher — and she told The Playlist a bit of what to expect from the film.

“Yeah. I can tease that she’s definitely King of New Asgard when we find her,” Thompson said of her character. “And as was the case in the last four [including Avengers: Endgame, which Thompson appeared in], I would say that she’s a part of an adventure that involved Thor, in the sense that it’s called Thor: Love and Thunder. And I’d say there’s some cool stuff going on. We have some new characters; we have some folks potentially from other pockets of the MCU. And then we have some folks, maybe, that we’ve seen before.

Obviously Thompson is being a bit coy to prevent spoiling anything, so it’s conceivable that her returns could mean the aforementioned stars. That said, there is no shortage of potential stars who could return — especially if Asgard manages to revive some of the Asgardians killed in Thor: Ragnarok like Odin, Hela, and the Warriors Three. We’ll know more about the Waititi-directed film in the coming weeks and months most likely, though it will be a while until its May 6th, 2022 release date.
