Tessa Thompson stated she played her character Valkyrie in Marvel Studios movie “Thor: Ragnarok ” as queer. However, wouldn’t notice it from the finished film, which cut out a scene that would’ve confirmed her LGBT identity.
She’s bi. And yes, she cares very little about what men think of her. What a joy to play! https://t.co/d0LZKTHCfL

Actually, Loki is explicitly LGBT in the comics. That’s why fans were desperately waiting for him to show his identity. However, Taika Waititi showed it only implicitly in “Thor: Ragnarok,” which evoked a discussion on the Internet – did Loki and the Grandmaster had sex?…

Korg, a new character introduced in “Thor: Ragnarok”, is explicitly gay in the comics. However, the creators of the movie haven’t given any hints about his orientation.

Wonder Woman is suggested as being queer or bisexual, as she and another Amazon, Io, had reciprocal feelings for each other.
“Her culture is completely free from the shackles of heteronormativity in the first place so she wouldn’t even have any ‘concept’ of gender roles in sex,” states Graeme McMillan.
