EastEnders has acquired a reputation for featuring some of the best talent London and the UK has to offer on the small screen, with many of these going on to make appearance on the big screen, even in Hollywood.
And what films could be bigger than those of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, several of which have broken box office records in the last decade.
According to IMDb one particular actor managed to score a role as a stunt double in the 2013 film Thor: The Dark World, so although you might not have recognised her at the time, you’ll almost definitely have seen her on screen.
