Thor: Ragnarok's Valkyrie Almost Looked Like Sombra From Overwatch


Thor: Ragnarok had a lot of things to like about it, and one of them was Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie character. Marvel concept artist Andy Park likes to share his work in the movies from time to time, and he just gave us this very cool peek on what Valkyrie could have looked like.

Check it out:

With Valkyrie being a "down and out" type character in the film, I think this look would have made her a bit more fierce; I especially love how her head is shaved from the side. We've already had a bunch of women in Marvel, but they all seem pretty standard when it comes to looks. This would have made Valkyrie stand out more.

With the movie already out, there's no use griping on what the character could have looked like, but it is cool to get a glimpse of what could have been. I'm pretty sure a lot of memes would have come out about how much the character looked like Sombra from Overwatch.

Thor: Ragnarok has come out to be one of the most successful Marvel movies of 2017, and a lot of people are excited to see what's in store for the God of Thunder and his tribe of lost Asgardians.

We'll get to see more of Valkyrie in Avengers: Infinity War which comes out May 4, 2018.
