Tom Hiddleston is officially reprising his role as Loki in Avengers: Doomsday. The actor, last seen in Loki Season 2, left fans emotional when his character became the protector of the multiverse, sacrificing his freedom to hold its threads together. While it seemed like Loki’s journey had reached its end, the upcoming Avengers films are heavily focused on the multiverse—making his return a logical and exciting move.
MCU Confirms Tom Hiddleston’s Role in Avengers: Doomsday
Marvel Studios confirmed Tom Hiddleston’s casting during a livestream announcement for the upcoming movie.

What Loki’s Return Means for Avengers: Doomsday
A Long-Awaited Thor & Loki Reunion
Loki’s return opens the door for one of the MCU’s most emotional moments—a reunion with Thor. The original Loki was tragically killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, but the 2012 variant from Endgame has been on a different journey, evolving into the God of Stories. With both Hemsworth and Hiddleston in the cast, fans can expect a heartfelt reunion between the brothers.
Doctor Doom vs. Loki – A Battle for the Multiverse?
The movie’s plot is still under wraps, but Doctor Doom’s presence hints at a massive multiversal conflict. In the comics, Doom absorbs the power of the Beyonders to create Battleworld, a chaotic realm combining different universes. If the film follows a similar storyline, Doom could be after Loki’s power, making him a key player in the fight to save reality.
Will Loki Survive Avengers: Doomsday?
Loki’s return is thrilling, but it also raises concerns about his fate. With Doctor Doom’s ambitions, there’s a strong possibility that Loki could be sacrificed or overpowered in the battle for the multiverse. Given his tragic history, fans fear that his role in Avengers: Doomsday might end in heartbreak once again.
