Tom Hiddleston Is Back For Avengers: Doomsday – But How’s That Possible After Loki Season 2? – SlashFilm

The Marvel practice simply retains chugging alongside. The buzzy information of the day considerations the seemingly by no means-ending casting announcement for “Avengers: Doomsday,” which is including one A-lister after one other at a glacially gradual tempo. (For anybody who’s ever needed to see nothing however the backs of a bunch of chairs with actor names scribbled onto them for a number of hours straight, boy, do I have the livestream for you.) But whereas the overwhelming majority of the reveals had been just about to be anticipated (if you happen to’re shocked by the Unbelievable 4 showing within the very first “Avengers” crossover movie after their introduction, I could have an Avengers Tower to promote you), one addition was certain to catch followers unexpectedly.

That’s proper, people: None aside from Loki himself, performed by Tom Hiddleston, will apparently be again to his mischievous methods in “Doomsday.” On paper, this makes excellent sense. In fact the most well-liked villain in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe would not miss out on the largest and most anticipated group-up movie in franchise historical past.

But for many who’ve been following together with all the assorted motion pictures and reveals so far, properly, it raises some fairly wild questions on how, precisely, our favourite God of Mischief might probably be again in any respect. By no means thoughts that the unique model of Loki died a fairly ugly dying by the hands of the Mad Titan Thanos (Josh Brolin) again within the opening sequence of “Avengers: Infinity Struggle.” His time-touring counterpart from “Endgame” managed to slide by the cracks and go on to star in his personal spinoff present “Loki” on Disney+. But even that sequence, which introduced the story to a becoming conclusion within the season 2 finale, would appear to preclude Loki’s return since he is, , singlehandedly retaining the multiverse from falling aside as principally the overseer of time itself. So, yeah, you might say we have now numerous questions on “Doomsday.”

Who knew that the “Loki” tagline of “For all time, all the time” would find yourself making use of to Marvel’s rollout of each single actor below the solar who shall be a part of “Avengers: Doomsday”? We most likely ought to’ve seen that coming, looking back, identical to we must always’ve recognized that Tom Hiddleston’s Loki would one way or the other get embroiled in no matter multiversal methods that Kevin Feige and the Russo Brothers have up their sleeves this time round. Few Marvel characters have escaped dying with as a lot regularity as he has over time, which included brushes with mortality in at least “Thor,” “Thor: The Darkish World,” “Thor: Ragnarok,” “Avengers: Infinity Struggle,” and even each seasons of “Loki” (and doubtless extra that I am forgetting off the highest of my head). But his newest Houdini act shall be his finest one but, contemplating how his story involves a satisfying shut by the tip of the season 2 finale of “Loki.”

So, how can Loki wind up getting concerned within the thick of the motion of “Avengers: Doomsday” when he is imagined to be off by himself on the Finish of Time, doing his finest impression of the Temporal Loom (the gadget constructed by the Time Variance Authority retaining the endlessly branching timelines in examine) and actually holding collectively every strand by sheer pressure of will? The simplest resolution is that “Doomsday” will happen in one other universe altogether and permit for the presence of one other Loki variant, which would definitely line up with the alleged “Doomsday” idea artwork leaked not too way back. One other chance is that the model of the character from “Loki” shall be compelled to desert his put up and assist the remaining Avengers battle off an excellent better menace. Then once more, it is fully believable that we’re not considering outdoors the field sufficient and his return will take form in one other kind fully.

Now we have little selection however to attend for “Avengers: Doomsday” to lastly give us all of the clues when it hits theaters on Might 1, 2026.
