Having played Valkyrie before, Thompson is set to play another galaxy defender
The actress revealed her favourite memories from the set as well as what she loves about her character Bianca. Thompson has had a phenomenal year having starred in 'Thor Ragnarok', 'Annihilation' and 'Sorry To Bother You' as well. She said that the highlight of her year was working with Emma Thompson on the 'Men in Black' reboot.
"I'm such a massive, massive fan," she said. "We're related, Thompson and Thompson! Getting to just square off with her and hang out with her and learn from her, I was pinching myself and trying to keep my cool, because it meant a lot to me."
Regarding what audiences can expect from the reboot, Tessa Thompson said: "Hopefully we're doing the franchise proud. It's a lot more action than I think you've seen in the other 'Men in Black' films. It is global in scope, it's set here in the UK which is super fun, there's a lot of fun, English humour. As agents, they also travel elsewhere in the world.
"I think it's bigger in scope with amazing folks like Liam Neeson (Ireland!) and Emma and Kumail Nanjiani and Rebecca Ferguson. We have a really rad fight scene.
"I'm really excited about it and like 'Creed', it's really fun to get to work with a co-star again. I just love working with Chris [Hemsworth], I love working with Mike [Michael B Jordan]. It's so fun getting to revisit being with him."
