The recent MCU film Thor: Love and Thunder, which hit screens on July 8, put up a great show at the box office. Actress Tessa Thompson, who plays the character of Valkyrie in the superhero flick, recently said that she is open to exploring the possibility of a romantic relationship between Valkyrie and Captain Marvel, played by Brie Larson.
Talking to an Indian entertainment portal, the 38-year-old actress said, “I, you know, the heart wants what it wants. I don't...I can't speak yet to Val. She has not had a ton of time to focus too squarely on her love life since she has been besought with a lot of kingly duties.”
Thompson went on to add that Valkyrie is single and ready to mingle. “But there are a lot of amazing men, women, otherworldly creatures inside of the MCU and certainly in the canon of characters that could enter the MCU. So, I think there is so many fish in the sea. She is single. She's ready to mingle,” she said.
She also added that she loves both characters in the comics. “And I love, both in the comics, Carol and I... Brie Larson is a good friend of mine and I love spending time with her. So, I wouldn't be mad at it, for sure,” she further said.
Thompson’s comments come in response to the hugely popular fan theory that Valkyrie and Captain Marvel should be together within the MCU. This has previously been encouraged not only by Thompson but Larson also.
The character of Valkyrie is all-but-confirmed to be bisexual in the MCU. For those not in the know, Thompson is also bi-sexual in real life.
The sequel to Thor: Ragnarok, Thor: Love and Thunder also stars Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale Natalie Portman, and Russel Crowe in important roles. It is the 29th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Sheeran has never featured original Hindi lyrics in a song before, marking a significant first.
Gandhi has spoken about the immense difficulty of keeping the exciting news quiet until the announcement.
Her new verse explores the overwhelming, lightning-strike feeling of finding 'the one'.
The track is part of a larger EP featuring remixes with Karan Aujla, Hanumankind, and others.
Jonita Gandhi just confirmed the big collaboration. She is part of the upcoming remix of Ed Sheeran's song Heaven. This is not a background vocal thing; she has a full, proper verse in there in Hindi and this is a first for Sheeran. The track is part of his remix EP, which is basically a love letter to Indian sounds at this point.

So what did she actually do to the song?
People might think it is just a simple translation. It is not. She wrote and sang new lines, in Hindi, that slot right into the melody. She took the whole "heavenly" love idea and made it conversational. Her words, she says, are about that moment 'you just know'. You know? It is her voice, her language, grafted onto his global tune, giving Heaven a completely unique cultural twist.
Remember the Mumbai gig she opened for him? That was not just a slot. That was the introduction. She has talked about how he was surprisingly normal and grounded and genuinely curious about the music here. It seems that meeting stuck. She went from fan to opener to collaborator in less than a year. That is a pretty rapid climb for any artist.
Gandhi is not alone. Sheeran has collected a bunch of talented folks. Karan Aujla on Symmetry, and we have to say that is a massive get. Hanumankind, the rapper, he is in the mix too. And then Santhosh Narayanan and his daughter Dhee on Don’t Look Down. It is a proper sampler and not just one token track. He is really stacking this EP. It makes you think someone on his team is genuinely paying attention.

And the timing?
She mentioned this in her chat that October is her birthday month. You cannot buy that kind of symbolic timing right? This whole project in fact, highlights how seriously Ed Sheeran is looking to incorporate the sounds of the Indian subcontinent into the worldwide pop landscape, making this release feel perfectly placed for the festive season.
