Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis

[XtremelyBaneful]

Does anyone know if she will be reprising her role?

[lrod557]

definitely

[XtremelyBaneful]

^ is there a source?

[Anubis]

Boobarific! :up:

[LauraT]

She's not mentioned on any of the returning cast lists and like Josh Dallas she's a lead character on a TV show, so maybe not. In terms of storyline she'd be easy to write out, especially if Jane spends time away from Earth, but I did like the character so I hope she's in it.

[Deejo]

The 'Facebook' line from the first movie still doesn't sit well with me. I hate how they put pop references in like that, it dates the movie too much.

But Kat is super hot and I would welcome her return, as long as its short and sweet in the Earth scenes. I wouldn't be too keen on her tagging along to Asgard and making stupid quips at everything she sees.... "This is going on facebook! Oh noes I can't connect from Asgard! (insert random phone company joke here)"

It's not that big of a deal really I don't see why people get worked up over it.

[Deejo]

I'm far from worked up, but I would rather it was a timeless movie, not circa 2010+...

Certainly not a deal breaker, it just sounded forced.

[Silvermoth]

It was a pretty dodgy line. Very 'wow, we're so young'.

That's not Kat's fault though. I really liked her in the last film. Has she turned up in the comics yet? I'ld love to see more of Kat Dennings.

[Nathan]

I hope she doesn't return, only because I don't want earth to show up in Thor 2 at all.

[BigThor]

I want Thor to return to take Jane with him at the start of THOR II, he could even pull out a big strength feat before they leave.

[cherokeesam]

I want Thor to return to take Jane with him at the start of THOR II, he could even pull out a big strength feat before they leave.

Just have Jane sitting there at the observatory in Norway, looking sad and bored, and then Thor crashes through the ceiling, scoops her up, and whisks her away to Asgard without even bothering to say "Hi Jane." ;)

Not yet but I want a nurse Darcy :cmad:

[Flemm]

Feels like Thor 2 could easily run the risk of having too many characters. Thor 1 already did a bit, I think. A lot of the time, you had these little packs of characters running around, especially Sif + the Warriors Three and Darcy, Jane + Selvig.

I like Kat Dennings a lot, but I could see her only appearing at the beginning, as a sort of cameo before Jane goes to Asgard (if that's what happens).

It could be funny to see her interact with Asgardians, provide wry commentary on the wierd things she sees there... So maybe she goes with Jane, I guess. Not sure how much time I really want to see spent on that, though.

[Ajendo]

Well well well, looks like kat will be back with an even bigger role.

[Nathan]

Disappointing. I was hoping that this Movie would be free of humans and earth.

[Ash Talon]

I can see Darcy getting pulled along with Jane into an Asgardian realm. Either by Thor or Thor's enemies. If these earth ladies are hanging out with Asgardian's, I wonder if Darcy will attract the affection of any Asgardians. Perhaps one of the Warrior Three?

[American Maid]

Well, there's a Thor 1 script on line with this exchange:

Fandral: Are all earth maidens as fair as you?
(Darcy enjoys the attention)
Darcy: No.

(Maybe someone can say if it's in one of the deleted scenes on the Blu-ray.)

So yeah, that sounds plausible.

[metaphysician]

Here's a thought: maybe the climax of the movie will involve the Warriors Three ( and Sif! ) holding the line against the Dark Elves on the Earth-side of the faerie portal, while Thor dukes it out with Malekith and Kurse on the other side? If something vaguely like that happens, it might lead to Thor taking Jane on a tour of cosmos, while the Warriors Three hang out on Earth with Darcy and Selvig. ;)

[American Maid]

FWIW, I don't think Jane's going to go on the tour of the cosmos. (though I could see Jane and Thor having an argument about that).

A while back, someone, maybe on this particular thread, speculated about Darcy and Erik acting as "dispatchers", perhaps on Earth. Actually, I think that's what Jane and Erik will do from Asgard. Darcy would be there too because she's part of the team working on these Einstein-Rosen bridges.

Marvel, just bring her back...with better dress.:hrt:

[Spuzz]

I hope her character dies in the interval between the two films and is briefly mentioned in passing and in a disrespectful way as well. Then have Thor spit ale on a photo of her and laugh. Credits.

Don't hold back; tell us what you really think! :oldrazz:

[marcvader]

She looks like she's trimmed down a bit going by her face in that picture. No like. :(

[Suzanne78]

I call photoshop on that. Kat looks super curvalicious in her sitcom.

I love Kat Dennings, I liked Darcy Lewis, and I'm super excited that she's returning, if only because she's pretty much the sole female character in the MCU who shares her scenes with another female. Bechdel Test, yo! Thor, for whatever faults it has, is probably the most fem-friendly Marvel movie yet.

Also, she actually has a not-insignificant online fanbase, if looking at Tumblr and fic sites can be a measure of these things.

[Vartha]

...Well watch that tv show she's on. I don't see it because I'm at work. She looks ok to ME there

lol thinking about it Thor might be the only Marvel movie that passes Bechdel, haha. Did Pepper/Widow talk business at all in IM2, or was it all (and by "all" I mean "both scenes" :oldrazz:) Tony?

[Suzanne78]

Only in the background, if I recall - I should watch IM2 again. That's also pretty much my only complain about The Avengers too.

[American Maid]

It's possible that Hill talked to another woman, perhaps Black Widow, in TA. Have to watch again to see.

[Suzanne78]

I just saw Avengers Sunday night, and no, unfortunately there's no scene with Hill and Widow together.

[American Maid]

That's too bad. So does The Avengers fail the Bechdel test then?

[Suzanne78]

Yeah, it does fail unfortunately. Just a small, tiny misstep from Joss. Although he gets major bonus points from me for not rendering the major female character a love interest alone... of course, this is one of the reasons why I love the Marvel Studio movies. The female characters are far greater than simply being the girlfriend of the hero.

I have a feeling he'll fix this issue in TA2. Also I'm hoping for more female characters, obviously.

Anyway, Kat Dennings!

[DarkSovereignty]

I love Kat Dennings, that is all.

[jonathancrane]

I love Kat Dennings, that is all.

Same here.

Off topic, but, I would if she found her taser by Thor 2. Or bought a replacement. Speaking of, this does make me wonder about what her role would be --- after all, her internship would be over. SHIELD employee?

SHIELD employee, Jane's BFF/lab assistant, mortal embodiment of Hela...

Take your pick :cwink:

[DarthSkywalker]

Did you see the rest of the picture? :o

[marcvader]

Nope, just the one.

[DarthSkywalker]

I meant the rest of the photo. She doesn't look "trimmed down".

[marcvader]

Face and arms look slimmer to me and I wasn't the only one to comment on her looking different. Her face alway looked slightly fuller to me before which I liked..

[Bren]

I hope Darcy dies quickly and brutally early in the film, by Kurse hearing her voice and standing on her.

Then Thor offers to buy him the first drink.

[mclay18]

Man, some people have a death wish for Kat Dennings' Darcy. I mean, really? She may have been annoying in a few scenes in Thor, but she had a wonderful rapport with Natalie Portman. And her taser scenes were funny.

I don't see what the problem is with expanding her role in Thor 2 if it's integral to the story and not just because of Dennings' leading role in 2 Broke Girls.

Although after seeing the sitcom, they need to de-geek Darcy down and emphasize her sexier side. Anyone who's seen candid (i.e. leaked blog photos) or red carpet photos of Ms. Dennings know she's a helluva lot more stacked than Natalie and apparently nicer in person too.

Too bad her character is fairly useless to the story.

[American Maid]

Too bad her character is fairly useless to the story.

The purpose of Darcy's character is to help members of the general audience, who are not well versed in the entire history of the Nine Realms, to relate to the material. She may be useless to many posters here, because they are quite familiar with everything related to Thor and are already into it. But that doesn't mean she has no purpose at all. She helps expand the audience beyond that which reads the book, and therefore helps the movie to be more successful.

And who could fault Marvel for wanting more people to enjoy the MCU?

[DarthSkywalker]

Too be fair, Jane already fills that role.

Does the term "expanded role" mean anything to you?

[Suzanne78]

I'd wager (not really) that Darcy's role will be woven further into the Thorverse. We'll have to wait and see obviously, but her having an "expanded" role in T:TDW points that.

Also, I'm absolutely not ready to give up the sole female character who has a relationship with another female character in the MCU. I'm sure the studio's finding ways to integrate Darcy even further in the MCU, as they did with Selvig and Coulson.

That would be *very* interesting! What ideas do you have for how Darcy's role could be further woven into the Thor-verse?

Here's one: she is a political science major. So maybe if there are a lot of diplomacy issues or palace intrigue, she could have something to contribute drawing on her education.

(Just to be pedantic, if a female character has a relationship with another female character, then neither of them could be the *sole* female character with such a relationship :yay:)

To hang in there with one would mean to hang in there with the other one. It would be very cool for both of them to have ongoing ways to contribute to the (MCU) story (and not necessarily as love interest(s)).

I've read bits and pieces that suggest Marvel has some interest in addressing this issue. Here's hoping they stay the course!

That would be very interesting, and also potentially hilarious. If it's something like this, I'd love it if Darcy will show some skills, as well as humor, in her field, as both Jane and Sif have been shown to be talented in their fields.

Actually, perusing pics of Hela in the comics, I've noticed that Ultimate Hela looks a hell of a lot like Dennings, a fact which a few posters here have jumped on (in other threads). I think it'd be golden if it turns out she was Hela.

Ha! I stand corrected!

That's basically what I meant, where they both are integral to the story of T:TDW and not simply "Jane = Thor's love interest" and "Darcy = friend of Jane's".

I have too :) I do know some fans are growing impatient, but I do believe that MS will improve in this area (as well as franchises featuring heroes of color.)

Oh yeah, doing an image search, I see what you mean. It's a little creepy. . .

Having her turn out to be Hela would be a bit of a strain on continuity, though. For example, there's the story where Sif is in Hel (because some giant made a deal for immortality) and Thor offers his life in exchange for hers. Hela is so impressed by the nobility of the proposed sacrifice that she lets them both go. This was before Sif trained to be a warrior, so it would have taken place at least 900 years before Darcy was born.


That's basically what I meant, where they both are integral to the story of T:TDW and not simply "Jane = Thor's love interest" and "Darcy = friend of Jane's".


And if it's not to be for Jane to be Thor's love interest, then I hope at least she can contribute to the overall storyline in the MCU. (I think there will be a lot of portals in future movies.) But of course I would prefer for both elements to work out.

And similarly for Darcy.


<I said: I've read bits and pieces that suggest Marvel has some interest in addressing this issue [of female characters having more substantive roles]. Here's hoping they stay the course! >

Yeah, that would be awesome too!

[ericadawn16]

Yeah, but we don't know which stories are movie canon or not. So far Hela hasn't even been mentioned in the films. Loki's only children to be shown have been Sleipnir which Odin rode but was not mentioned and Jörmungandr who was on Loki's armor in The Avengers.

It would be a really cool twist though...no wonder Darcy had the urge to taze Thor...

I really do not think that in MCU Loki have ANY children.
Sleipnir is just a strange other dimensional animal and snake (its nothing more its just a snake Jörmungandr), on the armor element is just a symbolic depiction of Loki`s sinful and treacherous nature.

Even in comic (MT 7) Sleipnir is not his son as he was tamed by Odin while he himself was just a boy.
In some resent JIM there is a scene where Loki speak about how Hela can`t be his daughter as she already existed when he was a child but how all believe that she is. In comic it`s probably leftover from the past cycles but MCU is too grounded to allow such a thing in my option.

[jaqua99]

interesting. Because Kat Dennings, in 2010, on IMBD, for casting, it said Darcy/Hela :O

[Suzanne78]

I won't get excited for an IMDB posting b/c anyone can add whatever to a movie/actor page.

But if pics and/or trailers show Darcy is Hela somehow... cue me :bow:

[jaqua99]

but still, it was said in 2010. And her roll is back, and it is expanded.

For this, and for other reasons, I will go ahead and say it.

I think I was wrong about that alison actress, she is the dark elves queen maybe.

I THINK DARCY LEWIS IS HELA IN DISGUISE

[American Maid]

Alice Krige?

BTW, when everyone was talking about Thanos in the "spoilers" thread, it crossed my mind that another potential casting for Krige would be as Death.

Ahhh, could be. I wonder though, if death would actually be in the MCU. If she was, I sort of figured she'd be like, a hallucination that Thanos sees

I think the movie kind of screwed the pooch by having Thor and Loki apparently be born towards the end of the Viking Age...but then again Thor's Hammer has time travel properties.

[American Maid]

Yeah, you're right. How can Thor be part of the Norse pantheon (and in the book that Jane and Co. look through) if he isn't born until almost the end of the Viking Age? Same for Loki.

While that oversight might give them liberty to do so, I still don't think they should compound their error by straining continuity vis-a-vis Darcy/Hela, though.

[mclay18]

Too be fair, Jane already fills that role.

Maybe Thor 2 will have a Thor/Darcy/Jane love triangle? I mean, remember that behind-the-scenes drama when Natalie Portman was livid when Marvel kicked Patty Jenkins to the wayside without telling her? I assume Portman is fine with the new director now, but you have to wonder if Marvel isn't taking any chances if Portman doesn't return for a third Thor film.

I'm sure the signed contracts adequately protect Marvel from any such risks. No need to make the story do the work of an attorney.

And, Natalie Portman is a professional. So I'm sure everything will be fine.

Its a pity they didn't dial the relevant date back just a couple centuries, it would have closed the plot hole just fine. As is, I suspect its better to just not think about it too much.

[Bren]

A love triangle between Thor, Jane and Darcy..... Dear lord what a terrible suggestion... Both in terms of pure taste, as well as reasons for suggesting it.

Of course I'm biased because I'm hoping 'extended role' amounts to nothing more than seeing/hearing of her very early, quick demise...

[O'Haire]

Love triangle is terrible. But I would like to see her crushing on Fandral after the kiss he gave her hand before they all went back to Asgard.

[terry78]

Look, as long as she refrains from covering those things up this go around, she be Hela, Hera, Frigga, whoever.

You know I was thinking the same thing..how old are all these asgardians? ..lol I figured its Hollywood just assume lol

[pr0xyt0xin]

If there is any sort of triangle it should be Thor/Sif/Jane. Who the hell thinks Darcy is a good match for Thor?

Well, Dennings is getting a bigger role in the movie because her sitcom being so popular now. I assume she'll be one of the following: 1) potential love interest (not ruled out), 2) more comic relief with her trigger-happy taser, 3) she and Stellan Skarsgaard have bigger roles in the story or 4) Darcy hooks up with someone else.

Option #2 almost goes without saying. Darcy's role in the first film was to help people who normally do not enjoy fiction involving science fiction/fantasy/supernatural elements in it to be more comfortable with this material. By all accounts, there will be more supernatural material in this film, so that segment of the audience may need more Darcy.

Option #4 is also possible, especially if it is written in support of Option #2 (ie, the couple has a lot of funny banter). I can see Option #3 happening, too. I tend to think that portals will continue to be important in the MCU.

Option #1 I see as a long shot. In addition to it being unclear that there's anything to build a relationship on, there are too many other potential love interests already in the story. It gets too complicated. Movies have to be a lot simpler with story lines and be a lot more parsimonious with characters than books or comic books.

But I can see a combination of Options 2-4.

[Chewy]

How sad is it that "expanded role" for a female character automatically translates to "love interest"?

And that's not a knock on you mclay, you're right that it's how Hollywood typically thinks

[OccamsTaser]

lol thinking about it Thor might be the only Marvel movie that passes Bechdel, haha. Did Pepper/Widow talk business at all in IM2, or was it all (and by "all" I mean "both scenes" :oldrazz:) Tony?

I think they may have had some brief dialogue about business.

[jaqua99]

Or she is Hela. I wouldn't be surprised. Given that on IMBD it originally said that, coulda been a mistake, but, I wouldn't doubt it. There is NO point in having her as a friggin love interest. By expanded, I don't think they mean love interest, she doesn't give off that vibe

[Punisher_MAX]

i approve of Dennings as Hela

She's a goddess , wow still in shock at that dress. And her "expanded role" I hope has something better I love kat an just wish they would use her better than they did in Thor.

Thor needs to put down his jug of ale and pick up Darcy's jugs of milk.

Do you consider this a good or a bad thing?

I like to think I'm as normally heterosexual as the next heterosexual guy... But I just don't find her that attractive. Not ugly by any means, but certainly not beautiful. And imo if she ain't beautiful, she ain't sexy.

And then you add her voice.

Don't get me wrong; back when I was younger and single I doubt I'd have said not if she asked why not... At least, not because of looks (I like to think I'm a decent lad)...

It's the opposite for me, Kat Dennings is one of only few celebrities that I find too beautiful for words.

[terry78]

Basically it's because she looks like she wouldn't be that picky in a mate. You could honestly see her with kind of an average looking schlub as opposed to some hot dude.

[mclay18]

Do you consider this a good or a bad thing?

It depends. In some scenes, the look actually works for her -- hotness wise. But in that outfit with the dark lipstick and eyeshadow... yuck.

I want to post this on her twitter SO bad lol

She's Jewish, so I doubt you'll see her eating anything with sausage or bacon on it. Or she grew up Jewish, some Jews I know do eat bacon and other un-kosher food.

yeah but the reason I DID post it on her Twitter if you recall she and Nat were commenting about touching Chris' hammer lol

[jonathancrane]

It's the opposite for me, Kat Dennings is one of only few celebrities that I find too beautiful for words.

This.

I was running through the possibility of her being Hela today, and I have to say, it would be pure awesomeness. I suspect my head would explode, like that of the man in the music video for "You've Got Another Thing Coming."

[herolee10]

I wonder if we'll see any more of this in the sequel?lol

OMG! that's right! That happened! All right, Darcy/Fandral needs to happen in Thor 2. LOL

[American Maid]

OMG! that's right! That happened! All right, Darcy/Fandral needs to happen in Thor 2. LOL

I had missed that!

That would be fun to see! :yay:

[American Maid]

OMG! that's right! That happened! All right, Darcy/Fandral needs to happen in Thor 2. LOL

And if they do do more with Darcy and Fandral, I'd like to see exchanges like this:

FANDRAL Are all earth maidens as fair as you? (Darcy enjoys the attention.)
DARCY No.

[elizah72]

oh, I'm sure Fandral is fully aware of how "fair" the maidens of Earth are. LOL

more like...

Fandral, Thor and company are getting ready to return to Asgard, with Jane and Darcy staying behind....

Darcy: (to Fandral) Call me.

Fandral: I dont actually have a telephone.

Darcy: Seriously? That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard! What you're going to hook up with me and be all romantic and all chivalrous and stuff and then not call me ?!

Jane *mutters to herself* : That's what Thor did...

Fandral: But I really dont-

Darcy: No, I rocked your godly world and you know it! If I don't hear back from you in a timely manner mister we are done. Do you hear me?! And then I'm going to tell all your friends about that kinky stuff you're into. *turns to Thor and the other Asgardians* You know, he's into some pretty twisted stuff in the sack, don't you?

Fandral: What?! No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Uh.... I'll do it! I will!

Darcy: You will what?

Fandral: I will call you.

Darcy: When?

Fandral: Tomorrow, right away...

Darcy smiles sweetly: Tomorrow right away, what?

Fandral, hesitantly embarrassed: I will call you tomorrow, right away...P... Pussycat.

Darcy: Awww.... that's so sweet of you, Pookie! See you soon! *kisses Fandral passionately*

Fandral, Thor and the other Asgardians exchange some awkward glances before disappearing in a ray of light back to Asgard.

Darcy turns to Jane.

Darcy: Now, that's what I'm talkin' about!

Jane nods, impressed. They high five each other.

[Vartha]

heh Finally caught an episode of Two Broke girls lastnight lol Funny stuff man.

[terry78]

You need to see the one where they go to the Sotheby's auction. That black dress. :awesome:

[Vartha]

lol I was hoping to see Once upon a time but forgot it's on SUNDAY night not monday! DOH
But Darcy and what's her name went out to eat at a Soup kitchen lol they met a candy store guy.

[Rowsdower!]

I'm glad Dennings is in Thor 2. After watching a few episodes of the awful Two Broke Girls, I need to see her in something that reminds me she's actually a good actress. She totally phones it in on that show. It's almost like she KNOWS the material isn't funny and doesn't give a crap when she delivers her lines.

Why anyone watches that show (except to stare at Kat's cleavage) is beyond me. It's terrible.

[ericadawn16]

Oh, I'm glad it's not just me then...I've liked her since 40 Year Old Virgin but I can't watch that show. I hope her role is truly expanded in a good way...and not code for being killed off or just referring to her character dealing with Jane's new stuff.

Kat interview with Metro newspaper


Your schedule has you jetting between London and LA – how are you coping?

Pretty badly. For example, in Thanksgiving Week we filmed the TV show on Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning I flew to London and worked for two weeks, including weekends. I flew home on the Tuesday night and went back to work on Wednesday morning. That’s an extreme though. I will probably never ever do that again. It’svery hard to juggle two characters, two schedules and jetlag. The London-LA jetlag is really rough.

You look good on it.

That’s because I’m not eating and there’s stress involved. I’m telling you the truth. I eat but also get stressed. Then I get nauseous and stop eating. Now I know why people get so skinny. I used to be: ‘What are they on?’ But I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.

When will you be less stressed?

I’m sleeping for the first eight days of this year. Don’t call me, don’t write, don’t text me because I’m sleeping. Beep! Do not disturb

Is there anything you can tell us about Thor 2?

I can’t tell you a lot. I don’t know exactly what they’re releasing, so I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say. And if I say the wrong thing, I’m going to probably be assassinated. The experience has been fantastic. I think the atmosphere of this movie is going to feel a lot more authentic for fans. I think that will be really cool.

What do you watch on TV?

Downton Abbey. But I have to watch the whole thing on DVD. I can’t wait a week to watch the next one. I just got a TiVo for free because I was a presenter at the Emmys and they gave me one. Can you believe I didn’t even have one? I watch TV the old-fashioned way usually but now I don’t have any time at home to relax, I get the DVDs. And I watch shows on iTunes. I like Sherlock Holmes with Benedict Cumberbatch. I just like saying that name.

[American Maid]

I hope her role is truly expanded in a good way...and not code for being killed off or just referring to her character dealing with Jane's new stuff.

What do you think they might do to expand her role? She's a political science major, so maybe they could have her draw from that background somehow.

I suppose they could have her nearby and not working for Jane anymore, though that seems a bit improbable that they all wind up in London.

Maybe she'll have to accomplish a task in the story that Jane and Erik cannot if, for example, they are incapacitated in one way or another.

[04nbod]

I read that on the train the other day. Kind of funny how she expects people to just know what Thanksgiving week is though, its a British paper most people have no clue when it is exactly.

I think they are going to expand the sisterly relationship between her and Jane. Jane's going to be dealing with pretty emotional stuff in this film, she needs a back up.

<Kat Dennings talking about filming over Thanksgiving.>

I hadn't quite realized she had done that. Yeah, she should have referred to the dates, rather than the event.

As my little public service announcement for the day, in case anyone doesn't know (and wants to know), Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November in the U.S. (and the second Monday in October in Canada, I believe.)

<What do they mean when they say Darcy's role will be "expanded"?>

I would *love* to see that! I hope they do that. (And I suspect Kat Dennings would enjoy that too, given that she has retweeted at least one of those "Jane and Darcy hanging out as friends" fan art pics) And you're right--Jane will need a friend! (And this film should pass the Bechdel test, too, since its predecessor did!)

I also would be glad if we see something of Darcy's character not directly related to her friendship with Jane. (for example, if she had to accomplish something in the story.)

[Joeyjojo72]

expand. that is all.

[Bren]

She (Darcy, not Dennings) should expand, yes. Hopefully early in the film, and violently.

[R_Hythlodeus]

I'm glad we will see more of Dannings in the sequel.

[ericadawn16]

I can picture her boning up on Norse mythology and reading everything to "be prepared" just in case.

[Godzilla2000]

Um...*ahem*...not thinking naughty at all...noooooo...no double entendres to see here...

[Godzilla2000]

You know...I was watching a video review for Beastmaster 2 and Darcy is not the first person to have knocked out a tall, musclebound blond guy with a taser. Maybe it's no shock that her name is Darcy.

[Idun]

A love triangle between Thor, Jane and Darcy..... Dear lord what a terrible suggestion... Both in terms of pure taste, as well as reasons for suggesting it.
:doh: Agreed.

Expanding on a friendship between Jane and Darcy would be fine, but I'd like to see her stand on her own two legs, and not be so much a comic relief.

[Godzilla2000]

I'd buy a Jane/Darcy/Donald Blake triangle.

[Bloogun]

I still think it would be a cool idea if in the MCU, they made it so that Loki takes control of her and turns her into Lady Loki to use as bait for some reason or another. Maybe as some excuse to trick Jane into sacrificing herself or something. Just imagine Kat getting to play a serious mischievous role, that would be new for her.

[Vartha]

I'd buy a Jane/Darcy/Donald Blake triangle. :woot: I'd buy that too :woot: wait....that's porn then :doh:

[Idun]

And here I thought the Jane-Thor-Sif triangle was enough for some to cry LOVEBOAT. :fhm:

[Vartha]

I'd be happy to play the Don Blake part if they did film that scene. :D
