Jaimie Alexander Returning To AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. as Sif
Thor’s Jaimie Alexander is coming back to reprise her role as Sif in an upcoming episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and there’s gong to be an interesting twist to her character this time around.
According to TV Insider, Sif will show up on the Portuguese coast to fight a villain with superpowers equal to her own. In the process, she also looses her short-term memory. The photo above shows us what kind of outfit she'll be sporting in the episode.
Sif comes to Earth on an undercover mission and has a bodyslamming showdown with a foe whose superpowers are equal to her own. Footage of the epic clash, which takes place on the coast of Portugal, becomes big news on social media, prompting the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to rush to the scene to investigate. Not only do they find Sif without her lusty trademark armor, but she has also lost her short-term memory.
There’s no information on who the villain is, but if Sif is battling him or her, it could be another Asgardian. Executive producer Jeffrey Bell said in a statement,
"Sif has no idea who Thor is or that she serves a king, and we're going to have fun with that. 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 [Clark Gregg] and his team will try to help her figure all that out."
He continued,
"We've been dealing a lot with space aliens and Inhumans in our last few episodes—things our Earth-bound heroes just don't know much about. They need help understanding what's really going on. Sif's memory—what's left of it—will come in very handy."
It will be great to see Sif back in action, and I’m really curious to see how she helps move the story forward.
