As long as Loki is in the film and has a good amount of screen time, it'll be absolutely gravy. Tom Hiddleston has been the best actor/character in the Thor movies. I would really like to see Marvel green light a Loki film some day.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand she's gone.

Unless she has, like, a couple seconds-long scene, they are not going to accommodate to a TV shooting schedule.

[Unretribud]

She believes that the MCU has better overall character development but she doesn't even know if her character is coming back for the next movie?

Lolololololol! I hope she enjoys her next guest star role on Agents of Shield since that's the only work she seems to be getting in the MCU.

It's like she said that to shine a good light on Marvel so the execs see her white knighting for them and would put her in the next movie lol

Actually, it's not unheard of. Especially in the age of CGI, they could easily just use a stand-in and then edit Alexander in later. A lot of the time they're shooting stuff like Avengers or Civil War where there's a big ensemble cast, they'll do stuff like that to work around the actors' other projects (I know Don Cheadle had to miss a lot of Civil War because he was shooting a comedy movie while it was filming).

I said TV shows, not filming other movies.
Movies are not shot in order and are way shorter than shooting a tv season. Even if they only shoot half a season at a time.
Plus, she is the main character of the TV show, she is in basically in all the time including action scenes.

Marvel is losing a serious asset by not giving her her own film by now. Marvel truly seems focused on the male characters more than the women.

As much as I enjoy their films, they have a lot of work ahead of them.

It's a shame that Sif has gone so underutilized in the movies, to the point where the TV shows have done more for her character then the actual Thor movies have, and that it doesn't look like Ragnarok will be much of a change from that .

I guess I can at least hope they give us a little more Warriors Three and that Hogun's back.

Don Cheadle has been doing a TV show for the past four years. Sometime shows let their actors shoot around movies, but that all depends on stuff.

What are you doing on about?

[kcekada]

It would be a shame if Sif wasn't in it. Then again, I've never seen the second Thor film -- which didn't seem to have much buzz.

Lol wut? Sif is only a supporting character, if anything black widow deserves her own film ahead of any other females in mcu

I almost said something about how good character development isn't at all countered by whether or not an actor is returning for another movie, but then I got to "white knighting."

[Doctor Know]

You know what they should do?

Cast her in the DCEU as Donna Troy. Hahaha

Actually, I have a better idea. She should be Big Barda. Sif and Barda already look alike and act alike, thanks to Kirby designs.

[Zorkel567]

I'll be disappointed if she's not in it, so I'm hoping they can get it worked out.

I have to wonder how that works. I'm assuming like pretty much every other MCU actor and actress outside of Michael Douglas, she signed a multi-film contract with Marvel. She would have signed said deal before she became the lead in Blindspot. I don't know the technicalities of such a deal, but while I don't see Marvel doing so, would her earlier contract supersede the television one? If not, what's the point of multi-film contracts if they can't get the actor when they need to. Really just curious on such a situation.
