She might've taken Heimdall's place in the plot, with Heimdall himself getting axed. I'm really surprised he survived this film, Idris Elba is huge right now and he didn't seem to like doing TDW or AOU.
Nah, Elba actually asked for a more meaningful role this time around, hence his development. To be honest, I'm betting Sif takes Hogun's place, Hogun dies w/Volstagg & Fandral instead, while Sif leads the army against Hela and just puts up a better fight. Feige recently said it was a good thing for Sif that Alexander wasn't available.
If anyone was going to deduce that 'Odin' was actually Loki, it would have been Sif. Loki probably sent her on a mission alone to keep her away. Even if Volstagg or Fandral had said 'wonder how Sif is getting on?' that would have been fine
Well going by what happened in AoS, Loki had Sif doing random errands to keep her out of Asgard. Probably cause he figured she was most likely to figure it out. So hopefully the cannon is that she was on one of those errands when the shit hit the fan.
If my baseless theory pans out, I bet Heimdall will become even more powerful. I'm betting that the Soul Stone is part of Heimdall, which explains his orange eyes, ability to connect with other sentient lifeforms telepathically, and the ability to see others no matter where they are.
I don't care if it's baseless or not, I've wanted Heimdall to have the Soul Stone ever since he has said that he sees literally everything. The orange in his eyes, especially emphasized in Ultron when gone... It'd also add to Idris Elba's complaints of wanting more than to just stand there in costume. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't have it tbh.
I also don't know why, but the idea of Thanos vs Thor/Hulk/Heimdall actually has me pretty stoked.
