They could put me in anything they want at this point

FULL STORY

While Marvel has already teased and confirmed much of the cast for the next major installment in the MCU , and weve been getting weekly teaser trailers confirming the mainstays who are returning for Avengers Doomsday , one
actress is pretty sure shes not in the movie but she isnt making any bets.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight , Kat Dennings said, "I'm in the universe
and as you know, I can't tell you anything, but I am not in it. I mean, I'm
not in it. And I'm telling you right now I'm not in it. If I were in it,
which I'm not, I couldn't tell you, but I literally am not."

"I'm sure they already filmed it. I was here, I'm not in it," she added. "But they did scan me, so to be honest, they could put me in anything they want at this point. Who knows? Im in the system!"

Its quite the take not just on some of the inner workings at Marvel, which loves to surprise audiences with cameos and guest appearances, as well as end-credit scenes but also on how the proverbial cookie is made.

Dennings made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut back in 2013 in Thor: The Dark World , but has also appeared in WandaVision one of my all-time
favorite Disney+ shows and even made an appearance in the animated What If? All of these appearances were as lovable scientist Darcy Lewis. So the odds
of Kat Dennings appearing in 'Avengers: Doomsday'? Not zero technically!

Could Dennings make an appearance in Avengers: Doomsday without the actresss involvement, or even by visiting the set? Its possible, but unlikely. Historically, Marvel hasnt used these body scans without the actor's direct involvement, and theyre typically used to help finalize virtual effects for
the film.

Still, Dennings is clearly pointing out that Hollywood's approach to AI is still evolving, with established studios taking different approaches versus newcomers in the space. After all, 2025 brought us the idea and release of
an entirely AI-made actor or actress , to very mixed reactions.

While we might be hoping that Darcy Lewis makes an appearance in Avengers Doomsday and Marvel could be pulling off some clever PR moves here as of
now, Dennings is not on the official cast list. Its a lengthy one, though,
and Ill give you a paragraph break before naming a few of them to avoid any spoilers.

As of now, Avengers: Doomsday has one of the most stacked casts of any Marvel movie yet, including Robert Downey Jr.s return to the MCU, not as Iron Man
but as Dr. Doom. Beyond that, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth will return as Captain America and Thor, as well as much of the cast from Avengers: Endgame.

Well also see the cast of Fantastic Four: The First Steps join the roster, as well as the X-Men enter the fold. Itll likely be a chaotic film with a lot of action and, par for the course with the MCU now, lots of jumping between worlds, timelines, and ultimately universes.

Avengers Doomsday will hit theaters on December 18, 2026, and you can check out our comprehensive guide to the film (linked below).
