Loki will return in the upcoming Marvel sequel Thor: Ragnarok… and it’s also confirmed that he’ll play a part in the highly-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War.
It’s no secret that Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is a bit of a fan favourite… and after several appearances throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s no doubt that Marvel is keen to keep him in the spotlight. But what’s next for the God of Mischief? It looks as though he’ll be getting a lot of screen time throughout Phase Three…
According to Digital Spy, the two-faced God of Mischief will be back in Thor: Ragnarok as well as the highly-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War.
Of course, we all suspected that Loki would return in the next Thor sequel – after all, his place on the throne of Asgard has to be resolved somehow. And Loki’s inclusion in Infinity War comes as little surprise, considering that he was given one of the Infinity Stones by the mad Titan Thanos…who will now need to lay his hands on it once more. But quite how this comes to pass remains to be seen.
Thankfully, the folks at Comic Book Movie have some idea…
“Loki lost the sceptre belonging to Thanos when he failed to take over Earth,” they explain. “And going into ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’, it’s now in the possession of HYDRA’s Baron von Strucker. The Other (now dead at the hands of Ronan as we saw in Guardians of the Galaxy) warned Loki that there would be consequences if he failed his master and things really couldn’t have gone any worse seeing as Thanos lost a huge chunk of his army, one of the Infinity Stones and the Tesseract.”
Will Thanos hunt down Loki, looking for vengeance? Or will Loki be more than happy to help him retrieve the lost Infinity Stone? For now, we’ll have to wait and see.
Thor: Ragnarok is slated for release on 28 July 2017, with Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 opening on 4 May 2018 and Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2 coming to the big screen on 3 May 2019.
