The role would mark a return to multi-cam comedy for Dennings, as she previously starred in the CBS series “Two Broke Girls” for six seasons. She also previously starred in the Hulu single-cam series “Dollface” for two seasons. Dennings is perhaps best...

The best (and worst) part of writing for the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that your movie/show is almost never just a self-contained story. It's part of a larger world, one where pre-existing characters can veer in and out of the narrative at seemingly any moment. But that's part of what made "Loki," the Disney+ series that began in June 2021, so fun.
