Tessa Thompson: 'Taika Waititi's a huge infant with a bank account — it's terrifying'

Working on the Thor films was like being surrounded by overgrown children said Tessa Thompson — and it helped her get into the comedic role of Valkyrie. The actor, 42, is in town for the BFI London Film Festival and gave a Screen Talk at Curzon Soho on Monday 13 October.

“You just have to play like a kid, especially with Taika [Waititi] as the captain of the ship,” said Thompson. “He’s a huge infant, an infant with a bank account. It’s terrifying,” she joked. “He should be stopped because he’s not an adult.”
