It's not a far reach really. Fallen valkyries would still be fallen asgardians, and as I said the movie-verse already did change Thor from a god to dimensional alien that norse legends were based on. It's not going to be 100% comic accurate, but none of the movies have been.


It's also not going to be the skrulls, because as mentioned before they are tied up in the Fantastic 4 rights.
The Disir make the most sense when you add up the facts (minus not being female, but again, movie not comics). They were created while the film was still being finalized, marvel likes synergy, they are in the comics, they have norse ties, and they are trapped inbetween realms/dimensions.


The only other clue we have right now is that these "aliens" have 6 fingers. The toys have two thumbs. Early concepts may have had them as a form of asgardian skrulls though(the toy heads are very pointy eared). The toy and movie armor is very Thor like. Which btw, again Thor is an alien in this so you can't count on everything movie norse being accurate to the comics.

The Alien baddies don't have wrist articulation it seems. They have ankle, maybe double knees, the swivel ball leg joint, then the normal avengers line arms and heads. Black widow looks like she has ankle articulation too, but no signs of wrist.
