Tessa Thompson is fast becoming one of the most compelling actors around. Though she has been in the business for years, her star has risen considerably in recent years thanks to some high-profile roles, most notably as Valkyrie in the MCU. Introduced in Thor: Ragnarok, Valkyrie is a hard-drinking, hard-hitting, badass warrior. Thompson excels in the role and looks to be an important part of the MCU going forward.
