Tessa Thompson, the MCU’s beloved Valkyrie, is in the news, both regarding her character’s future and who she’d like to collaborate with in the Marvel universe. The actress, who has garnered significant acclaim since Thor: Ragnarok, loves Valkyrie’s humorous side, but she’d also like to see a deeper, more dramatic version. In her latest announcement, she revealed a choice that will excite Marvel fans: the name she’d most like to collaborate on the same project has been revealed.
Tessa Thompson Wants to See Sebastian Stan in the MCU
In a recent interview, Tessa Thompson discussed her experiences at Marvel and the evolution of Valkyrie. Noting that she’s primarily portrayed in comedic roles in the MCU, Thompson said she wants to explore Valkyrie’s more serious side. She believes Valkyrie isn’t limited to action and humor; she can also find a powerful presence in dramatic, emotional, and character-driven narratives.
At this point, Thompson’s most desired MCU collaborator has been revealed: Sebastian Stan. Stan, who brings to life one of Marvel’s most intense story arcs as Bucky Barnes, is, according to Thompson, a partner who can bring out Valkyrie’s diverse facets. The actor excited fans by saying, “We want to do something with him, whether it’s the MCU or another project, it doesn’t matter.”
Sebastian Stan most recently appeared in Thunderbolts* and was also announced to appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Meanwhile, Tessa Thompson’s MCU future hasn’t been officially announced yet. However, the actress has stated that she’s ready to return to Valkyrie’s story, and the idea of teaming up with Stan in a potential crossover project has become increasingly strong.
Character dynamics are crucial in the Marvel universe, and the on-screen energy of Valkyrie and Bucky has already sparked fans’ imaginations. One is charismatic, tough, and possesses an emotional backstory; the other is a leader, strong, and also funny. A unique energy is sure to emerge between these two. As Thompson said, “something could happen” between them, and that possibility alone is already exciting MCU fans.
So, would you like to see Valkyrie and Bucky together? What kind of dynamic do you think these two would create in the MCU?
