VALKYRIE THOR MOVIE
But whether or not she finds love in this movie doesn't mean she's not still a fabulous queer character that is open to finding love when it makes sense." While the actor is correct in that Valkyrie's lack of a love interest does not invalidate her identity nor LGBTQ+ audiences' ability to relate to her, it's clear that the MCU has prioritized other characters' stories and purposefully refused multiple opportunities to feature a queer relationship through Valkyrie. On Love and Thunder's exclusion of Valkyrie's romantic subplot, Thompson told Yahoo Entertainment, "I hope that she's a character that fans continue to connect to, that we have a lot of time to explore her, in all of her humanity.

Previously, a scene depicting a woman exiting Valkyrie's living quarters on Sakaar was removed from Ragnarok's final cut, and despite declaring in 2019 that Valkyrie's first order of business as King would be to "find her queen," Thompson later hinted that despite initial intentions, Love and Thunder's storyline did not allow enough room to include a love-interest for Valkyrie.

Since Valkyrie has solely featured in the MCU as a side character, authentically representing her bisexuality and fleshing out her persona in other ways is a complicated task.
