Other characters are queer in the comics but not yet confirmed to be in the MCU, such as America Chavez, Wiccan, Speed, and Ayo. Additionally, Loki and Sylvie are confirmed as bisexual in the Disney+ series, Loki. This was a better representation, as Phastos was actually a main character.

The MCU started with the most subtle introduction of a gay character in Avengers: Endgame, when the Grieving Man, who is gay, attended Steve Rogers’ support group. Marvel is under the Disney umbrella, so it’s been slow to include explicitly LGBTQ+ characters. From Marvel’s awkward portrayal of the gay Grieving Man in Avengers: Endgame to its more well-rounded gay character, Phastos, Valkyrie’s bisexuality is perfectly balanced with the rest of her identity, emphasizing her sexuality yet not making it the central point of the character. While Marvel and its parent company Disney are decades behind other film companies when it comes to LGBTQ+ representation, the way Love and Thunder presented Valkyrie’s bisexuality was near perfect.

Valkyrie, who first appeared in 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok returns to the big screen in Thor: Love and Thunder.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has finally confirmed what fans have known for years, King Valkyrie (played by Tessa Thompson) is bisexual.
