Tom Hiddleston is coming back as Loki inAvengers: Doomsday. The actor last appeared in theMarvel Cinematic UniverseduringLokiseason 2. One of thebest MCU TV showsended in a heartbreaking manner for Loki. While he became a hero, protecting the multiverse by securing its strings at Yggdrasil, it also meant that he was doomed to be alone for the rest of his days. It seemed like that would be it for Loki, but the MCU’s upcoming Avengers movies will be all about the multiverse, so Hiddleston joiningAvengers: Doomsday’s cast, makes sense.
Marvel Studiosis announcing thecast ofAvengers: Doomsdayin a livestream, and it has been revealed that Tom Hiddleston will appear in the upcoming MCU movie.
So far, no more information has been given aboutAvengers: Doomsday’s storyother than it will star Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, who serves as the film’s main villain. Hiddleston is one of the many MCU stars who have been confirmed for the Avengers movie throughout the day. Multiple actors from theupcomingThunderbolts*andThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsare in the film, as are stars like Chris Hemsworth and more.
What Tom Hiddleston’s Avengers: Doomsday Casting Means
A Major MCU Reunion Can Finally Happen
TheAvengers: Doomsdaycasting announcements allow the MCU to have Hemsworth’s Thor reunite with Hiddleston’s Loki. The MCU’s original God of Mischief was killed by Thanos inAvengers: Infinity War. However, a variant fromAvengers: Endgameescaped when the heroes went back in time to the Battle of New York. Thor has yet to meet that variant, who, after two seasons of Disney+‘sLoki, became the protector of the multiverse. With Hiddleston and Hemsworth confirmed for the next Avengers movie, it is expected that their paths will cross.
WhileLokiseason 2 ended in a way that made it possible for Hiddleston never to reprise his role, the character makes a lot of sense forAvengers: Doomsday. The movie’s story might be a secret for now, but Robert Downey Jr.s Doctor Doom is likely to follow the path the character did in the comics. There, Victor von Doom took the power of the Beyonders and created Battleworld, a patchwork planet built of several different universes and characters.Doctor Doom could be after Loki’s power, as Hiddleston’s character protects the multiverse, explaining why the actor is back.
Our Take On Tom Hiddleston’s Avengers: Doomsday Casting
The MCU’s Return Of The God Of Stories Could End Tragically
I’m both excited and afraid now that it has been revealed that Hiddleston is inAvengers: Doomsday. On the one hand, we can finally see Thor meet his brother’s variant, which will surely be emotional. On the other hand, I think Doctor Doom has to be after his power so that he can control the multiverse and reshape it to his image. Sadly, I don’t think Loki is going to survive the events of the next Avengers movie. Either way, the fact that Loki is in another major MCU project is exciting, withAvengers: Doomsday’s cast being ambitious.
