We know that both Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston have been confirmed to reprise their respective roles for Avengers: Doomsday, but that doesn't necessarily mean we will see Thor and Loki reunite in this movie
The last time we saw the Asgardian half-brothers together was in the opening scene of Avengers: Infinity War, when Thor was forced to watch as Thanos crushed Loki's throat. While that version of the God of Mischief remained dead, a variant returned for the Disney+ Loki series, progressing from self-serving villain to hero over the course of two seasons before ultimately sacrificing his freedom to become "God Loki" and hold the Multiverse together as the Temporal Tree.
Even so, Thor seeing Loki again - especially a variant who has put his villainous ways behind him - is bound to be a huge moment for both characters, but could it be something that's saved for Secret Wars?
Hemsworth was asked if fans will "cry" upon witnessing this reunion while speaking to Variety, but wasn't about to confirm anything. He did promise that Doomsday will be an emotional experience overall, however.
"It's a yes, no, maybe to that question... [the movie is] incredibly emotional, incredibly powerful... it's gonna blow you away this one. I don't know how they did it."
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were hit with significant delays last year, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.
Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
"Being able to create stories and explore characters within the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we discovered a powerful connection with audiences in each film that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with Kevin, Lou and the entire Marvel team to bring this epic adventure in storytelling to new and surprising places for both the fans and ourselves”, said The Russos in a statement after the SDCC panel.
