STEAMY STREAMING: TESSA THOMPSON
Thor, Creed, Little Woods +
LGBTQ icon Tessa Thompson has maintained a hectic schedule in the last few years. In her early years, she was starring on shows like Veronica Mars. Now, she’s a bonafide movie star. Her roles range from sci-fi TV to superhero movies and indie thrillers. PROVOKR is a fan, and you should be too.
WESTWORLD
Tessa Thompson joined the cast of Westworld during season two as park investor Charlotte Hale. Thompson played the strong-minded Charlotte with ease and stepped up to the plate in season three, when her character got more complicated.
Westworld is available on HBO.
THOR: RAGNAROK
There was no one more perfect to play Valkyrie than Tessa Thompson. She suited up for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok, the funniest of the franchise. Thompson will reprise her role as Valkyrie in Thor: Love and Thunder where it’s rumored she will take on the role of a female Thor.
Thor: Ragnarok is available on Disney+.
CREED
Tessa Thompson and Michael B. Jordan? A film couldn’t get hotter. Thompson plays an aspiring singer and Jordan’s love interest in both Creed films.
Creed is available to rent on Amazon.
ANNIHILATION
Alex Garland’s feminist sci-fi film Annihilation put together one of the best ensemble casts. Tessa Thompson plays Josie Radek, a cute, geeky astrophysicist.
Annihilation is available on Hulu.
LITTLE WOODS
Tessa Thompson and Lily James make one hell of a sister duo. The modern Western shows how their characters work outside of the law to live. But it wouldn’t be a thriller if their actions didn’t catch up with them. This indie film is a must-see.
Little Woods is available on Hulu.
