Thor:-The-Dark-World-Character-Poster-Sif-sliceRecently seen reprising her role as Sif in Thor: The Dark World, Jaimie Alexander will be returning as the Asgardian warrior once more with Marvel reporting that she’ll be making an appearance in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The news comes off the back of word that Stan Lee is set to have a big role in an upcoming episode, as well as Bill Paxton taking on a four-episode arc.

The studio is naturally keeping quiet on exactly what brings Sif to Midgard, but notes that she has come to Earth “with a very specific mission.” Needless to say, we’re excited as to what that could be.

So far, Alexander has starred in 2011’s original Thor and was of course seen late last year in the follow-up, Thor: The Dark World. The character and Alexander have both become favourites for fans of the franchise, and the studio is clearly conscious of that fact.

It may be early days yet, but here’s to hoping that she’ll be making an appearance somewhere down the line in one of the upcoming Avengers sequels, or at least more films in the Cinematic Universe outside of Thor’s standalone series.

If she’s Earth-bound for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there’s no reason to hope that she won’t be returning for more action when the Big Bad comes along. So if not in Avengers: Age of Ultron, then quite possibly when Joss Whedon pulls out the big guns, because Thor, Iron Man, and co. will need all the help they can get when it comes to bringing Thanos to his knees.

Thor: The Dark World will be heading to our shelves very soon, with its digital release set for February 4th in the US, followed by its physical DVD/Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D release on 24th February in the UK and February 25th in the US.

 

The Lady Sif is making a trip to Midgard, and her journey will lead her straight to our favorite Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

That’s right, True Believers, Jaimie Alexander will make a special guest appearance as Sif in an upcoming episode of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” reprising her role from Marvel’s “Thor” and “Thor: The Dark World”!

Last seen in “Thor: The Dark World”—now the third largest grossing Marvel Studios film—Sif has come to Earth with a very specific mission. Unfortunately, we can’t tell you just what brings her to our neck of the woods just yet.

Don’t miss “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC, and to catch up with Sif get Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” on Digital 3D and Digital HD February 4, and on 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray and DVD February 25.
