Tessa Thompson is set to reprise her Valkyrie in Marvel’s next big outing, Thor: Love and Thunder. While we’ve loved her fiery character in the MCU until now, it looks like Valkyrie will get a new look too. In a new photo doing the rounds, Tessa shared the upgraded look of her superhero.

The photo has Tessa posing in a mirror selfie as she sports new costume. It’s black and white and Tessa is flaunting braids along with part of her shaved head. Whether the makers have tried to keep her new look on the lines of the Marvel comic books is yet to be seen. For now, Valkyrie is intriguing fans enough ahead of the film’s arrival later this year.
