20 Worst Performances In MCU Movies

1. Kat Dennings

Character: Darcy Lewis

Appeared In: Thor and Thor: The Dark World

Once again, it all comes back to the Thor films. Aside from Hemsworth and Hiddleston, no-one has put in a great performance in these movies (many of the actors have openly expressed regret about being in them) and out of all those weak characters, Darcy Lewis is the worst.

Darcy is Jane Foster's intern who isn't even based on a character from the comics and exists purely to offer unfunny comic relief. The Jar Jar Binks of the MCU? Oh, go on then.

With no emotion or comedic timing, Kat Dennings just fires off one uninspired quip after another in the same monotonous voice. She offers a lesson in how not to be a comic relief side character but other than that her character serves no purpose in the films.

In a franchise so full of great acting, skilled comic relief and scene-stealers, Darcy comes across as one of the very worst and Kat Dennings takes the prize for the MCU's worst performance. Seriously, why did they hire her?
