Tom Hiddleston on his Marvel return, “It’s Not Over Yet”
Marvel fans, jump for joy as the God of Mischief is not done yet.
In a surprise twist that electrified the Marvel Studios livestream reveal, Tom Hiddleston was confirmed to return as Loki in Avengers: Doomsday, one of the most anticipated installments of the MCU’s Phase 6. After the emotional and reality-shifting conclusion of Loki Season 2, many wondered if we had seen the last of Hiddleston’s beloved character. But as the actor himself now confirms — Loki’s story is far from finished.
Speaking with TikTok creator Max Balegde, Hiddleston finally opened up about his long-held secret and the thrill of returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe:
“Very, very excited! It’s really remarkable that I can talk about it because I’m mostly in a position of knowing and not being able to say anything! It’s strange; you have to be just very disciplined about carrying this secret around, but it’s been an extraordinary chapter of my life playing Loki, and it’s not over yet.”
A God Reborn: Loki’s Evolution Into The Multiverse’s Wild Card
Fans of the MCU already know that Loki’s arc has undergone a stunning metamorphosis. From iconic villain to reluctant anti-hero to, ultimately, the God of Stories — Hiddleston’s Loki concluded Season 2 of his Disney+ series by literally holding the threads of the multiverse in his hands. Now, with Avengers: Doomsday on the way, Marvel is positioning Loki not just as a fan-favorite character, but as a central pillar of The Multiverse Saga.
Hiddleston’s excitement hints at the scale and depth of his next chapter. And while the specifics of Loki’s return are still under tight wraps, it’s hard not to speculate.
The Return Of The Trickster. The Reunion Of Brothers?
One of the most tantalizing possibilities in Avengers: Doomsday is a long-awaited reunion between Loki and Thor. Although this version of Loki stems from a time-variant timeline (plucked straight from 2012’s The Avengers), the emotional weight of the two brothers meeting again—especially after Thor witnessed Loki’s original death in Infinity War—could be one of the most compelling character moments in the MCU yet.
Chris Hemsworth is heavily rumored to return, and pairing his Thor with this evolved version of Loki opens the door to dramatic, and possibly redemptive, storytelling gold.
From Shadows To Spotlight: Loki vs. Doctor Doom?
But it’s not just family drama and redemption arcs that have fans buzzing. With Robert Downey Jr. reportedly set to return—not as Tony Stark but as Victor Von Doom—the idea of Loki versus Doom in Avengers: Doomsday is a cinematic collision that could rival any battle in the MCU’s history.
It’s poetic in a meta sense, too: Downey Jr. and Hiddleston, two OGs of the franchise, potentially facing off once again—but this time with reversed roles. From Avenger and villain to multiversal deity and Doom incarnate, the stage is being set for a clash that may define the entire saga.
What’s Next for Loki After Doomsday?
Hiddleston’s tease—“it’s not over yet”—feels especially deliberate. Could Loki also appear in Avengers: Secret Wars? Given the character’s new position as keeper of the multiverse and the rumors of a major soft reboot after Secret Wars, it wouldn’t be surprising. Loki may very well be key to bridging the old MCU with whatever the next phase of Marvel storytelling becomes.
And with filming on Avengers: Doomsday reportedly starting soon, it’s only a matter of time before Marvel reveals more. For now, though, Hiddleston’s return is more than enough to set the fandom ablaze.
Loki’s Legacy Lives On
Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of Loki has long been one of the MCU’s most enduring triumphs—layered, charismatic, unpredictable. His return in Avengers: Doomsday isn’t just fan service; it’s a strategic move to elevate the stakes of the multiverse narrative. Whether as a redeemer, a strategist, or a wildcard, Loki’s presence promises that Doomsday will be nothing short of epic. With that being said, Loki always has another trick up his sleeve.
