Marvel unveiled the first real, and somewhat shocking , footage from Thor: The Dark World at Comic-Con , much to the delight of fans earlier this month. As we know, the film will do a reverse trajectory and spend a great deal more time on Asgard for the second installment.

However, we do know that there is rumored to be a (relatively) significant portion of the story that takes place on Earth as well. In fact, Kat Dennings, who plays Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster's research assistant, in the film was said to have an extended role in The Dark World.If you pay attention, you can see her in the Earth-bound portion of the trailer watching as Natalie Portman's Jane is swept away by Thor, so we know she is at least a present force in our world. We caught up with Dennings earlier tonight at the CBS party for this summer's TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, where we asked about her time shooting, and role in, Thor 2.The actress said it was a challenge to balance her commitment to CBS' Two Broke Girls with her shooting schedule for Thor: The Dark World. "It's been hard, but it worked out, thank God," the actress reflected. "I shot the second Thor movie at the same time as the show, so I would fly to London in between shooting. But I'm very happy I did it."Dennings went on to say that she's very pleased with the way that Darcy has developed as a character in this film. "She's actually one of the most fun characters I've ever played. I love her a lot and they always give her really fun things to do, so it's great."When we mentioned that we understood that she would have an increased presence in the film, Dennings said excitedly, "Yeah, yes. I mean I don't know how they edit anything, so who knows. I was careful in the first one to underplay everything in case they cut me out of it, but we're about to do some reshoots, so we'll see."Dennings was evasive when we asked whether her character would see any of Asgard, but we do know that Lady Sif, Jaimie Alexander, recently tweeted about some reshoots herself, saying:"Working late in Asgard tonight. Kinda hard to take a nap in armor lol #ForAsgard Of course, the reshoots could be entirely unrelated, and are fairly standard on a production this size, but it is interesting to note the timing and that several scenes seem to be getting some finessing in the film. As to the full scope of Dennings' role, all will be revealed when Thor: The Dark World opens in theaters on November 8.In the interim, we will keep you updated as details emerge.
