Pop Culture Fix: Tessa Thompson Shares Your Valkyrie and Captain Marvel Dreams
It’s Wednesday! Pop Culture Fix day! This has been the wildest week of Vapid Fluff, I honestly have no idea what else is going to happen before the weekend!
+ Yesterday, character posters dropped for Avengers: Endgame, confirming finally that Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie will be in the new MCU movie. Then she chatted up IndieWire and confirmed that she wants what you want: “Of course I would love the chance to work with Brie. We were just like, ‘Look! It’s us together!’ I think we’re both new to the MCU, so we both retain the sense of like, ‘Can you believe!?’ We’re just like, ‘What? We got capes? What’s happening?!’ We’re both really geeked out by having dolls and occupying this space. We’re like women’s women, so the idea of getting to do something that little girls are excited about, and people that identify as women feel excited about is cool.”
