Jaimie Alexander may be on the cusp of greater stardom after headlining NBCâs Blindspot this fall as the enigmatic Jane Doe. But Marvel fans know her best as Lady Sif, from the Thor films.
Alexander recently confirmed that she will be back for the third film in the Thor franchise, Thor: Ragnarok. And while questions have persisted about the size of Lady Sifâs part in the next Thor, Alexander has made it clear that her character will be important in that film.
âMarvel, I think on purpose, they donât tell me certain things,â said Alexander. âBecause they know Iâll be like, âSo here’s what’s gonna happen.â But I do know I will be in Thor 3 and that Sif will have a very pivotal part in that movie. I just canât tell you what because Iâll get shot.â
Alexander also hinted that story elements from Thor: Ragnarok have already been teased in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
âThereâs a lot of great stuff theyâve peppered in through Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” related Alexander. “The Avengers, [Captain America: Civil War] will have some stuff. There’s just all kind of Easter eggs and hints, if youâre really paying attention. Theyâre so good at interweaving everything throughout those films.â
While Alexanderâs gig on Blindspot makes it less likely that she will make another guest appearance as Lady Sif on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., she did share her experience about getting the call to reprise her role for the second season of that series.
âWhen I did that episode of S.H.I.E.L.D. I had a week’s notice,â revealed Alexander. âIt takes me about three months to bulk for Sif. I was like, âOh no,â and I donât have my armor to really sell it either. Gonna have to rely on the voice and the wig. It was fun. And it was a really cool space to play up Sifâs vulnerability. Which I think makes her more relatable to everybody.
Thor: Ragnarok will open on July 28, 2017.
