Asgard might be a people and not a place, but the Asgardians are still effectively a diaspora of peoples now. Most of the famous ones are also pretty much dead - with Odin, Loki and Heimdall plus the Warriors Three having all passed away - but there's still plenty more Asgardians that are capable of taking the spotlight.

Valkyrie, played by Tessa Thompson, is one such character who looks set to take on a pivotal role in Phase 4, but there's another Asgardian worth bringing to the big screen as well - Thor's other sister, Angela.

Angela has something of a strange history in the comics, having originally debuted in Todd McFarlane's Spawn before being sold to Marvel in 2013, but it's fair to say she's been put to good use since. Angela's been involved with Hel, and thusly Hela too, and while she's still a fairly recent addition to the Marvel canon, there's definitely scope for the character to appear in the newly rejuvenated Thor series, after Taika Waititi worked his magic in Thor: Ragnarok.

It already looks as though Valkyrie will appear in Endgame, but if they could work in Angela too, then Marvel fans would get their first look at Thor's future on the big screen.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
