Thor: Ragnarok - 10 Questions None Of The Trailers Have Answered

4. Why Did Valkyrie Leave Asgard?

Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie is something of an enigma, considering Thor: Ragnarok marks her MCU debut and its trailers show her operating in various capacities.

One moment she's apparently in cahoots with Jeff Goldblum's Grandmaster, the next she's teaming up with Thor to battle Hela, but perhaps the most pertinent question is why did she leave Asgard in the first place?

Valkyrie is clearly a great warrior and would be a major asset to the Norse realm in the event on an invasion, not unlike the one it has to deal with when the goddess of death emerges from the underworld, but fleeting flashback footage for the trailers suggests she will be banished from Asgard.

This begs questions about who banished her and why. Was it during Loki's bogus reign, or did Odin expel her for failing to protect Asgard in the face of danger?

These aren't the only mysteries surrounding Valkyrie. No doubt the fans will be just as keen to find out why she ends up betraying Grandmaster and teaming with Thor.
