Spider-Man: 5 Marvel characters that could be the new face of the MCU
By Mark Lynch
Valkyrie
Valkyrie is another character that became a fan-favorite almost immediately. In Thor: Ragnarok, she started off as a drunken and sarcastic mess. Valkyrie did end the way she began. She was a killing machine that seemed almost unstoppable. In Avengers: Endgame, we saw exactly what it looks like when she goes to war. So much so that Thor made her king of New Asgard. Valkyrie could be the hero and Avenger that young girls aspire to be, and she’s another character we haven’t begun to scratch the surface of. Given a proper solo movie, she could be one of the most talked-about characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, even more so than she already is.
Valkyrie is a combination of Okoye and Captain America. There’s also a little bit of Thor in there, too. Don’t be shocked when she is wielding the hammer during Thor: Love and Thunder. The fourth Thor movie is definitely going to highlight her more than we’ve already seen. This preparation is going to boost her popularity to heights that no one expected. There aren’t many characters that have the full capacity for greatness that she does. Valkyrie is also capable of being the one who leads the Avengers, and Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel wouldn’t be jealous on any level.
