Marvel<\/a> star Kat Dennings has admitted she once forgot she had been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor famously appeared as Darcy Lewis in three Thor films, as well as TV shows What If\u2026? and WandaVision.<\/p>\n

While no doubt prolific, the star shared that her work in the MCU completely slipped her mind during a trip to Disneyland with her family.<\/p>\n

“When I’m not working, I don’t think about it,” she said during a recent appearance in The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/a>. “I’m really just living and not thinking about it. And we were going through Avengers Campus, which is a part of Disneyland.<\/p>\n

“And everyone was waving at me, and I was like, \u2018Everyone is so friendly. Everyone is in the best mood because it’s the happiest place on Earth’.”<\/p>\n

“Then my husband was like, \u2018Are you OK?’ And I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m in these movies! I forgot!'” Dennings admitted. “I completely forgot that I was like part of the Marvel universe and that people were waving at me.”<\/p>\n

The actor thought the public reckoned she was a good lookalike for her character, adding: “I was like, \u2018I look just like Darcy Lewis’. It was so stupid. I’m so dumb.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Marvel is gearing up for its next big release Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is due out in cinemas later this month. The new Spidey adventure will see the return of Tom Holland and Zendaya, while new additions include Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink.<\/p>\n

While Sink’s mysterious role is yet to be confirmed, the MCU newcomer recently opened up about joining the franchise<\/a> and having huge speculation around who she is playing.<\/p>\n

“I knew that Marvel was a big deal and had a big brand, especially Spider-Man. I know there’s a huge fan base, but it feels really big,” Sink told Nylon<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“I think these blockbuster movies are a whole different beast.”<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is released in cinemas on 31 July.<\/p>\n
