Bridesmaids–The Hangover in a Silky Purple Dress

Comics fans cannot help but be impressed with the care taken to keep true to the feel of the comic book, particularly in the casting. Supporting characters Sif, Hogan, and Fandral played by Jamie Alexander, Josh Dallas, and Tadanobu Asano respectively (“Xena”, “Jackie Chan”, and “Robin Hood” as seen by SHIELD agents) in particular
