Marvel has its first bisexual superhero in a blockbuster film.

Thor: Ragnarok will feature Valkyrie, a badass warrior who will be a Han Solo type – that is, a dashing, flawed renegade of a hero.

In fact, she’ll be so kick-ass that – without giving away any spoilers – she’ll be able to go toe-to-toe with Thor, an actual god.

Valkyrie was bi in all-female comic book Fearless Defenders.

The comic sees our hero come to this world to join forces with Misty Knight – also featured in Netflix’s Luke Cage and The Defenders – and Dr Annabelle Riggs.

And she and Annabelle kiss in the same issue in which Valkyrie saves her life.

However, it’s been unclear whether she would also have this sexuality in the new blockbuster film.

That is, until now.
