Speaking of the first arc, Immonen said: “We talked at length about what this story could be and what her story could be, and it all came down to…one single question: what does she want? I think Sif, above all, wants to be a better warrior.” She assured that this will be a journey of self-discovery for Sif and that she will be making some poor decisions and will dealing with the consequences of those.
In terms of the cast that will be showing up in the title, Immonen promised “familiar faces, but nobody I think you would expect.”
