Summary
One Marvel star who appeared in multiple MCU films and a TV show forgot they were part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She shared a hilarious post about the experience on social media.
TheMarvel Cinematic Universehas featured a massive cast over the years, with dozens of A-list actors appearing in multiple movies and series. However, some of them stand out due to their iconic portrayal and popular characters inMCU’s blockbusters. For instance, no one will forget Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk, Jeremy Renner as Clinton Barton/Hawkeye, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, and Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Most of them starred as the originalAvengers. One MCU star recently visited the happiest place on Earth and shared a hilarious incident.
Kat Dennings, who plays Darcy Lewis in the MCU, shared a funny incident after visiting Disneyland in California. In a post onThread, she shared that she visited the Avengers Campus and was surprised by the people’s reaction. “I went to Avengers Campus at Disneyland and people were waving at me and I forgot why. I genuinely forgot why,” she wrote. She shared the post on Instagram and added a hilarious caption, writing, “am I ok?” Dennings seemingly forgot that she was part of the MCU, and fans remembered her role, so they waved to acknowledge her. It’s not unusual for actors to forget they are part of a hit franchise, especially when it has been a long time since they were involved in a project. Anna Kendrick also made a similar post in 2018. According to theTrollsstar in a post onX, formerly Twitter, she just remembered that she was part ofTwilight, a hit vampire romance fantasy.
Lewis made her debut as Darcy in the MCUThor(2011). She was Jane Foster’s (Natalie Portman) intern. She caught fans' attention because she was funny, smart, and relatable. She made the audience laugh by calling Thor’s hammer “meow-meow.” She served as a comic relief in the film. She reprised her role inThor: The Dark World(2013). And after years of being off-screen, she made a big return in Elizabeth Olsen’sWandaVisionTV series in 2021. In the TV show, she’s already an expert, a doctor, and an astrophysicist. In a previous interview withMarvel, Dennings admitted that she didn’t know the relevance of her appearance inWandaVisionbecause her previous interactions were limited to Thor, Jane Foster and Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard). However, she was happy with her MCU return. Dennings' portrayal of Darcy inWandaVisionreceived the same warm response from fans. They loved her quick and sarcastic humor. Many also enjoyed her scenes with Randall Park’s Jimmy Woo that they wanted a spinoff for the pair.
Dennings' post was hilarious, but it’s also not surprising. She’s probably not expecting people to recognize her when she went to the Avengers Campus because she didn’t appear in anyAvengersmovies. However,Avengersis only one of the franchises from the MCU. Even if she hasn’t appeared in anyAvengersmovies, she’s part of the MCU, so fans will likely recognize her. Dennings' character,Darcy Lewis, has no superpowers, but her portrayal is superb and many love her. She probably didn’t recognize her popularity among the MCU fans and underestimated her role because she wasn’t as big as theAvengersstars. But one thing is certain: Dennings' character Darcy is much loved by MCU fans.
