Tom Hiddleston has teased his return as Loki in the upcoming Avengers film Doomsday, describing the script as 'never been done before'. The actor, who has played the God of Mischief since 2011, spoke to GQ about the forthcoming instalment, calling his contribution 'monumental' and praising the story as 'so surprising'.
Avengers: Doomsday is set for release next year and has already generated significant buzz. In July, it was revealed that Robert Downey Jr will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the villain Doctor Doom, while Chris Evans's Steve Rogers is also making a comeback. Both actors last appeared in 2019's Avengers: Endgame, though Evans had a brief cameo in 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine.
Loki's journey has evolved from a villain driven by jealousy to a sympathetic antihero, culminating in his role as the guardian of the multiverse in the second season of his Disney+ show. Hiddleston reflected on this evolution, stating that Loki had to 'make peace with the things he did' to become a different character.
The Russo brothers, who are directing Doomsday, have described the film as 'bigger than anything we have ever done'. The cast also includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Mackie (Falcon/Captain America), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes), and Letitia Wright (Shuri).
