Kat Dennings Tased Herself For Thor Scene

Kat Dennings has been sharing intriguing stories from her acting career, including a notable anecdote from the filming of the 2011 Marvel movie Thor. During production, Dennings discovered that the Taser used for a scene involving her character, Darcy Lewis, was police-grade equipment.

On her last day of shooting, Dennings volunteered to fire the Taser herself for an insert shot. The production team took precautions, surrounding the camera with felt curtains and positioning Dennings behind a metal C-stand with a target to aim at.

Dennings recounted that she was motivated to hit the target after someone suggested she might not be able to. The prop weapon, which she tested herself, proved to have significant power. This behind-the-scenes detail offers a surprising real-life element to the scene where Darcy tases Thor.

While Darcy Lewis had a smaller role in Thor: The Dark World, the character later returned in WandaVision as Dr. Darcy Lewis, assisting with the investigation in Westview. Dennings has also used her TikTok platform to share memories from other projects, such as 2 Broke Girls.
