Thescreescore – Tom Hiddleston, the charismatic actor behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s God of Mischief, Loki, has offered tantalizing insights into the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Confirming he has already wrapped filming his scenes for the highly anticipated blockbuster, Hiddleston’s remarks are fueling immense speculation about the narrative direction and Loki’s pivotal role.
In a recent interview with British GQ, Hiddleston lauded the screenplay, declaring, "The centre of the story is absolutely brilliant." He further piqued curiosity by asserting that Avengers: Doomsday will introduce an element "surprising that has never been seen before" within the MCU. This revelation hints at a truly groundbreaking narrative, potentially leveraging Loki’s unique evolution from a trickster god to the Multiverse’s new protector, the God of Stories, a journey meticulously explored across two acclaimed seasons of Disney+’s Loki.
The variant of Loki, first introduced after the events of Avengers: Endgame following his original demise in Infinity War, has undergone a profound transformation. From unraveling the enigma of Kang the Conqueror to ultimately safeguarding the very fabric of the multiverse, his arc culminated in him embracing the mantle of the God of Stories. His inclusion in Avengers: Doomsday was previously confirmed through cast announcements, setting the stage for his grand return to the ensemble cinematic stage.

Despite Hiddleston’s enthusiastic comments, Marvel Studios has maintained a tight lid on Loki’s specific involvement. The initial two promotional teasers for Avengers: Doomsday, screened alongside Avatar: Fire and Ash, notably omitted any glimpse of the Asgardian trickster. Instead, audiences were treated to the unexpected return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers in the first preview, followed by a spotlight on Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and his adopted daughter, Love, in the second.
The prominence given to Thor in a dedicated teaser strongly suggests a significant role for the God of Thunder, which in turn elevates the likelihood of Loki’s substantial participation. As the newly appointed protector of the multiverse, Loki could potentially intervene to safeguard his brother from the formidable new adversary Thor was seen imploring Odin for protection against. Furthermore, reports from a Disney event in Italy last December hinted at a new Avengers roster, purportedly led by Captain America (Sam Wilson), and notably including Thor, Shang-Chi, Falcon, Ant-Man, and Loki himself. While Hiddleston has remained coy about his character’s direct involvement with this specific team, the prospect of the Asgardian brothers reuniting on the battlefield is certainly thrilling.
With two additional Avengers: Doomsday teasers still slated for theatrical release, fans eagerly await a potential first glimpse of Loki in action. Should these preliminary previews continue to keep the God of Stories under wraps, the highly anticipated full trailer, expected later in 2026, could debut during major events like the Super Bowl on February 8th or San Diego Comic-Con in July, finally unveiling the extent of Loki’s involvement in the MCU’s next epic chapter.
