The third time’s a charm, or so the saying goes. That is definitely the hope withThor: Ragnarok, which is going to be the third soloThor moviein the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Director Taika Waititi looks to have done something really unique with this movie and Marvel fans are hyped for it. There will be some familiar faces and plenty of new ones along for the ride, but one familiar face has yet to be confirmed forThor 3just yet. Jaimie Alexander played Sif inThorandThor: The Dark World, but is she going to be inThor: Ragnarok? We may finally have a definitive answer
Twitter userKathy W, who appears to be a huge fan of Sif, recently uploaded a brief promo for an upcoming episode of AMC’sTalking with Chris Hardwickthat will feature Jaimie Alexander as a guest. The promo seems to finally confirm that, yes, Sif is going to be inThor: Ragnarok. Here’s the voiceover from the promo.
“Jaimie Alexander fromThor: Ragnarokis talking with Chris Hardwick Sunday night at 11.”
It would be pretty tough to imagine that AMC would let a promo get out that claims Jaimie Alexander is going to be inThor: Ragnarokif she isn’t actually going to be in the movie. Not only that, but she also is seen poking Chris Hardwick with anAsgardian sword, which further points to her returning as Sif. That doesn’t mean that her part in the movie will be overly large. In fact, it seems far more likely that she will barely be featured, considering all of the new characters that are going to be introduced in the movie. For what it’s worth, IMDB also has her listed as appearing inThor: Ragnarok. So it would be pretty surprising at this point if she wasn’t in it for at least a scene or two.
Thor: Ragnaroksees theGod of Thunderimprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer Mjolnir, which has been destroyed by Hela (Cate Blanchett). The movie then turns into a race against time with Thor trying to get back to Asgard to stop the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization. This madness coming at the hands of the ruthless villain Hela. Before all of that, he will have to survive a deadly gladiator contest that pits him against his former ally and “friend from work”, the Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).
Sif’s inclusion inThor: Ragnarok, even if it is only a small part, seems appropriate.The Warriors Three, Odin and Loki are all coming back, so why not Jaimie Alexander as Sif? In any case, this looks like it could giveJustice Leaguea run for its money. Considering the movies are coming out just two weeks apart, this could prove to be a pretty epic Marvel vs. DC throwdown.Thor: Ragnarokis set for release on November 3.
