Lady Sif Returning to Agents of SHIELD
Lady Sif, the Asgardian warrioress played by Jaimie Alexander in both Thor movies, is making a return appearance on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.
The last time Sif joined Coulson and his team, it was to track down the fugitive temptress Lorelei. This time though, Sif won't exactly be herself.
In the episode following March 3rd's SHIELD midseason premiere, Sif will visit Earth once again and do battle with a foe whose strength matches her own (Marvel's keeping the villain's identity under wraps for now) and when the dust settles, Sif will have lost her short-term memory.
"Sif has no idea who Thor is or that she serves a king, and we're going to have fun with that," executive producer Jeffrey Bell told TVInsider.com. "It'll give us some much-needed humor in a season that's been full of betrayal and death. Sif can't even recall who she came here from Asgard to stop, but Agent Coulson and his team will try to help her figure all that out."
