Kat Dennings\u2019 name might not have appeared on the back of a chair during the Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement<\/a>, but according to the MCU star, there\u2019s still a chance she could make an appearance if technology has anything to do with it.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight<\/a>, Dennings was asked about the likelihood of her appearing in the upcoming film, which will see Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes face a new threat with a familiar face — Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom. \u201cI mean, I\u2019m not in it. And I\u2019m telling you right now, I\u2019m not in it. If I were in it, which I\u2019m not, I couldn\u2019t tell you, but I literally am not,\u201d Dennings explained. \u201cI\u2019m sure they already filmed it. I was here, I\u2019m not in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At this point, Dennings has contributed a fair bit of screen time to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Playing the dry-witted assistant to Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), Darcy Lewis, Dennings has appeared in three Thor films, as well as WandaVision and a handful of What If\u2026? episodes as an alternate version of the character.<\/p>\n

All that being said, Dennings was quick to add that, thanks to AI, Marvel Studios<\/a> and Disney<\/a> will have her in one file. \u201cBut they did scan me, so to be honest, they could put me in anything they want at this point. Who knows? I\u2019m in the system!\u201d<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s every chance Darcy could appear in archive footage during the film, there might be too much going on across realities for Thor\u2019s pal from his late ex\u2019s past to turn up in the mix. We\u2019ll have to just see for ourselves when Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on December 18, 2026.<\/p>\n
