Avengers: Doomsday Fans Think Thor Actor Will Return After New Photo
A prominent cast member of the MCU’s Thor movies and WandaVision shared a photo with an extremely well-known Marvel prop, leading to speculations that she might be in Avengers: Doomsday. The highly anticipated superhero feature already has well over 25 confirmed main cast members and will likely add more as production continues.
New photo of Thor’s Kat Dennings confuses Avengers: Doomsday fans
Actress Kat Dennings, who plays Darcy Lewis in the MCU, shared a photo of herself with Captain America’s shield on social media. “Don’t get excited, I was just sampling the hardware,” the 2 Broke Girls actress wrote in the caption. Notably, Dennings has portrayed Darcy in Thor (2011), Thor: The Dark World (2013), WandaVision (2021), and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). She has also voiced the character in What If…?
Although Dennings’ post advised fans not to get excited, they have already started speculating about whether her character would appear in Avengers: Doomsday. In the comment section of the post, one asked whether this photo was taken on the Doomsday set. Another wrote, “Captain Lewis! Darcy best come back soon enough!”
Dennings indicated in the caption of her post that she was not part of the Doomsday cast. However, Marvel has historically kept significant details about the cast and plot of its projects secret, sometimes until their release. The Doomsday cast is still incomplete, so Dennings and others could be announced later.
Avengers: Doomsday premieres in U.S. theaters on December 18, 2026. Chris Hemsworth, Dennings’ co-star from the Thor movies, is reprising his role as the MCU Norse God of Thunder in the feature. Accordingly, there could even be a subplot in Doomsday around Darcy and Thor.
The Russo brothers are directing Doomsday. Some of the other cast members are Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm / Invisible Woman, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier.
