Creed’s Tessa Thompson is Thor’s New Love Interest

GT reports: Natalie Portman won’t be coming back to reprise the role in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok.[…] But it looks like her loss is fans’ gain, because Creed star Tessa Thompson (Dear White People, Selma) is stepping in to the new movie as Thor’s love interest.

Thompson isn’t going to be playing Jane Foster. Deadline says she’ll be “kind of a superhero,” and she’ll show up in other Marvel movies as well. Will she play The Enchantress, or maybe her sister, Lorelei? Let the speculation begin!

Why does she have to be the love interest? Why can’t she just be Awesome. Sigh. Not every movie needs a love interest.

Because a Black woman playing a love interest (especially in a superhero movie) is groundbreaking representation for Black women.

SHE’S A LOVE INTEREST. LOVE. THOR WILL LOVE A BLACK WOMAN AND FINALLY WE HAVE A BLACK WOMAN IN A FANTASY SETTING AS A BLACK WOMAN IN HER OWN SKIN AND NOT PAINTED!

Mentions black woman as a love interest and suddenly we don’t need love interests in movies.

God I love black people! Thank you for always being so kind and welcoming to everyone even though I know a lot of times those same people turn around and do or say something that exposes their true hateful feelings for you.

I can’t even express how unbelievably sad and upset I am right now.

It’s 2016. Please please stop whitewashing POC characters.

There are so many talented Asian actresses who could’ve played Motoko. Nobody is stopping you from casting Asians for lead roles about asians!!! And what makes me even more upset is that the director originally wanted Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn from upcoming suicide squad) to play motoko and scarjo as backup. There was literally no consideration to find an Asian woman to play her.

What I am glad about is that they cast kitano as aramaki and section 9 is more diverse. But I still don’t understand how besides kitano, all the other main characters are white?

Idk it breaks my heart because I love the majors character so much and have looked up to her for so long because she’s a badass Asian female protagonist and now I feel like even that has been taken away. I know I will not go and see it in theaters.

I wish media would stop casting Asian people only as props, as nerdy unwanted sidekicks, as fetishized and sexual fantasies, as masters of the Mystics and the exotic orient and other blah blah stereotypical bull shit. I wish people could understand how important representation is.

White women constantly tell women of color to “wait your turn” when it comes to our representation in media. Then, when it’s “our turn” (because you’re taking Japanese characters and bringing them to life), a white woman is cast in the role.

All they Reys, Katnisses, Trises, Scarlets, Ripleys, Everlyn Salts, Lucy's etc in the world only means we’ll be getting MORE of these white female heroines. There’s no trickle down representation when Asian women can’t even play ASIAN roles.
