It’s The End of An Era for Loki In the MCU

by

Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of Loki has reached a turning point. After his Disney+ series concluded, the character will be reimagined in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. Since his debut in 2011’s The Avengers, Loki’s journey has been complex – he started as a villain manipulated by Thanos, became a mischievous king and Thor’s brother, suffered at the hands of the Mad Titan, and ultimately proved himself a hero. However, the events of the Loki series have altered his story, effectively giving him a second chance with the Time Variance Authority (TVA) and setting him up for a major role in next year’s Avengers 5.

As a huge Marvel fan, I was really excited to see the cast of Avengers: Doomsday at a recent Disney event! What stood out to me was how they presented Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, right alongside Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and the rest of the Avengers. It felt like a real signal that Loki is finally stepping into a heroic role, leaving his villain days behind – and it’s happening before Avengers 5! It’s a big shift for the character and I’m definitely intrigued to see where they take him.

Disney+’s Loki essentially transformed the character from the self-centered villain viewers first met in The Avengers into a hero. Over two seasons, Loki evolved, ultimately becoming the guardian of the Multiverse and taking on the role of the God of Stories.

As early as 2021, Tom Hiddleston hinted at a new direction for Loki, mentioning that fans were eager to see him overcome his challenges, mend things with Thor, and finally become the hero he’s capable of being.

Although Loki showed glimpses of heroism in his Disney+ series, he’ll have a much larger role as a hero when Avengers: Doomsday comes out on December 18, 2026. The movie will feature him fighting alongside many other Marvel heroes.

Loki’s Heroic Role in Avengers: Doomsday Explained

A recent rumor suggests Loki’s unique ability to manage the different realities of the multiverse will be key to the plot of Avengers: Doomsday. The rumor claims Loki will be the central object of pursuit in the 2026 film, with Earth’s heroes competing against Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom to find him.

Fans of Loki should be worried about rumors connecting him to the upcoming Doomsday story. Marvel hasn’t hesitated to kill Loki off in the past, and if Doctor Doom is trying to take control of the Multiverse, Loki might not survive the attempt.

I’ve been hearing whispers among fans for ages that Loki is going to be a huge hero in the next Avengers movie – even back when it was still being called The Kang Dynasty! It makes so much sense to me, because Loki was one of the few who actually fought a version of Kang, putting him in a perfect position to step up and lead the charge against him.

Now that Kang is defeated, Loki’s unique skills with the Multiverse and time travel will be incredibly valuable to the heroes. While it’s unclear if he’ll ever fully become an Avenger, it’s hard to imagine that happening unless Thor gives him an honorary title right before he dies.
