Article Summary
\nKat Dennings denies being in Avengers: Doomsday but hints Marvel could use her scanned likeness anytime.
\nMarvel’s digital scans mean Dennings’ Darcy Lewis could appear in future MCU projects, even unknowingly.
\nDennings addresses ongoing speculation about her MCU return while filming the ABC comedy Shifting Gears.
\nKat Dennings is celebrated for her roles in Thor, WandaVision, and potentially more Marvel adventures. <\/p>\n

The chances of a Marvel Cinematic Universe actor admitting an appearance on a project outside of official channels are next to none, which hasn’t stopped those like “Entertainment Tonight<\/a> from asking MCU veteran Kat Dennings the inevitable question on whether she’ll be in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>, slated for a December 2026 release. The logic is sound, considering that her character, Darcy Lewis, originated at Phase I’s Thor (2011). She would also appear in two of the three sequels, including the second film,\u00a0“The Dark World”\u00a0(2013), and the fourth,\u00a0“Love and Thunder”\u00a0(2022). On the TV side, Dennings reprised her role with the update that Darcy received her doctorate in the Disney+ series, WandaVision, and was last seen in the animated series voicing her counterpart on Marvel’s What If \u2026?. At the set of her ABC series, Shifting Gears<\/a>, Dennings responded to whether she’ll be in the Russos’ upcoming film in a cryptic way.<\/p>\n

“What’s ‘Doomsday’? Oh, ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’ I thought you meant our show. Like, is that the finale?” Dennings said. “I am in the [Marvel] universe and, as you know, I can’t tell you anything. But I am not in it. I mean, I’m not in it. I am telling you right now, I’m not in it. If I were in it, which I’m not, I couldn’t tell you, but I literally am not. I’m sure they already filmed it. I was here [on set]. I’m not in it. But they did scan me, so to be honest, they could put me in anything they want at this point. I’m in the system.”<\/p>\n

There was no immediate word on Denning’s future in the MCU, but naturally, there would be speculation given Thor franchise star Chris Hemsworth’s involvement and their reunion in the Taika Waititi film. Shifting Gears, which also stars Tim Allen, Seann William Scott, Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins, and Barrett Margolis, airs Wednesdays on ABC through February 4th<\/a>.<\/p>\n
