In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she's not Norse...she's an extra-dimensional alien that the ancient Norse people incorporated into their myths, which gives Marvel an in-universe rationale for "diverse" casting. Yeah right...

Those illustrations are from Marvel comics. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is set on Earth-199999, an entirely separate continuity from the mainstream Marvel universe of Earth-616, the setting of most Marvel comic books.

I haven't looked over a comics newstand in a very long time.
Who's senior editor there now?
THIS passes for a cover artist these days? Looks like low to mid level fan art from a zine.
