MCU EP Won't Rule Out Lady Sif Return in Future Films
Marvel Studios executive producer Victoria Alonso is teasing Jaimie Alexander could return as Lady Sif in the future. Alexander made her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2011's Thor. She and the Warriors Three's screen time were limited thanks to Thor's Earthly adventure, but they all did return in Thor: The Dark World two years later. Sif was featured a bit more in the action and set up further as a possible romantic interest for Chris Hemsworth's Thor, but this was the last time she appeared on the big screen.
Alexander's only other MCU appearance to this point came with two appearances on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., once in the middle of season one and again in season two. That last appearance for Alexander came in 2015, so it's been nearly four years since she last played the Asgardian warrior. Unlike the Warriors Three though, Sif is still alive as far as we know in the MCU, giving fans hope that she could return soon.
In a recent AMA on Reddit, Marvel Studios executive producer Victoria Alonso was asked if there are any plans to bring Sif back in the movies. She couldn't say too much on the matter, but didn't rule out the possibility of her returning. She said, "Never say never. We love Sif the character as we do our actress, Jaimie Alexander."
This is far from confirmation that Sif will return to the movies, but it also wouldn't make much sense for Alonso or anyone with the MCU to completely rule out a return like this. Unless Sif had died offscreen, there's always the possibility that she could make another appearance. Marvel was even planning to bring Alexander back for Thor: Ragnarok, but Alexander's filming schedule for her NBC show Blindspot didn't allow for it to happen. This was probably for the best for Sif though, as she likely would've been swiftly killed off like her friends.
Alonso's response may have been explicitly about Sif's chances of appearing in MCU movies again, but Disney+ also offers Marvel Studios the ability to bring her back in a bigger way. Rumor has it that this is precisely what they want to do too. A Lady Sif series on Disney+ hasn't been confirmed and likely won't happen in the immediate future, but it will be easier to get done with Blindspot coming to a close after next season. So, whether it be in the movies or on Disney+, we'll have to keep our fingers crossed that Lady Sif's MCU return is coming soon.
