"I Will Be There!": LOKI Star Tom Hiddleston Teases God Loki's Status Heading Into AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

Loki star Tom Hiddleston has talked more about returning to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday, offering an intriguing hint about where we find the villain-turned-hero when the movie begins. Check it out...

Tom Hiddleston first played the God of Mischief in 2011's Thor, and reprised the role in Captain America: The First AvengerThe AvengersThor: The Dark WorldThor: RagnarokAvengers: Infinity WarAvengers, EndgameWhat If...?, and eventually his own Disney+ TV series, Loki.

It's been one heck of a ride for the British actor, and despite repeatedly hinting that it ended with Loki's season 2 finale, Hiddleston was among the actors confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday.

The God of Mischief is now "God Loki," and arguably the most powerful being in the entire MCU, as he powers the newly recreated Multiverse. 

We'd imagine that will make him a major player in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. However, with Kang the Conqueror off the table, it's hard to say how his story will fit into whatever the Russo Brothers have planned for Doctor Doom. After all, a huge part of Loki was devoted to setting up Kang and his Variants as the Multiverse's most terrifying threat.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to discuss The Life of Chuck, Hiddleston was asked by the host about Loki "holding all the timelines in the Multiverse." He responded, "Still is...I mean, we haven't seen him do anything different."

"See, this is where I run out of rope, Jimmy. We always do this dance, you and me. I can exclusively tell you...I will be there," Hiddleston continued. "There was the big thing they released of all the names on the back of the chairs, I didn't know, I was like, 'Oh I guess I'm in the movie.' In fairness, I did know I was in the movie. But I am so used to not knowing 'I'm in the movie.'"

Doom is bound to take a vested interest in Loki, given that he's keeping the Multiverse alive. If all those realities are dying, though, then the Latverian dictator may want to take the Asgardian's abilities and use them so he can make a new reality—"Battleworld"—in his image.

You can hear more from Hiddleston in the player below. 

Avengers: Doomsday stars Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Winston Duke, Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and Robert Downey Jr. Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Florence Pugh, Danny Ramirez, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Lewis Pullman all make the Avengers franchise debuts in the movie. 

The Fantastic Four: First Steps leads Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn join them, as do X-Men franchise stars Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Deadpool & Wolverine star Channing Tatum.

The Russo Brothers direct the movie from a script by Stephen McFeely, with whom they previously collaborated on the Captain America and Avengers franchises.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027.

I really hope it's Loki that brings together the Avengers to fight against Doom. Would be a nice mirror to Avengers, where they were brought together to fight Loki

@bkmeijer1 - that would be really cool

Either that or he’s the Macguffin that Doom is after and everyone else he trying to save unknowingly….

Just imagine the reaction Sam , Hulk or Thor may have when they find out Loki is holding the multiverse together

Could very well see him being used by Doom as that story's Molecule Man.

@Latverian - I'm starting to think it's Franklin.

In the plot leaks the scooper described him as having the ability to manipulate molecules, which is an accurate description of his powers but it made me think they might have used similar words in the movie, like maybe they call him Molecule Boy jokingly or something. It's a quicker way of describing his powers to general audiences.

Then there's the leaked description of the after credits scene from the test screenings which I won't say in case you don't know.

But also, at the end of Secret Wars it's Franklin powers that help recreate the multiverse. And he used them before to create the Heroes Reborn pocket universe at the end of Onslaught. So if you're adapting Secret Wars 2015 and you wanna trim the fat you might ask, why are there two people with this power? Why do we need a Molecule Man to help Doom create Battleworld and a Franklin to help Reed create the new multiverse?

There's also the powers of the Beyonders which is basically the same power too since that's where Molecule Man's powers come from.
And Franklin is by Doom's side in the Secret Wars 2015.

That makes me wonder if Franklin will have a connection to the power of the Beyonders. It also kinda calls into question the Molecule Man's function in Time Runs Out. Would they use Franklin for that? For the Molecule Man bombs? Or maybe they use Loki or Scarlet Witch for those.
Or y'know, the actual Molecule Man, lol. But for some reason we all know that they're not gonna do Owen Reece. I don't know why we know that or why they're not gonna do Owen Reece, but there it is. They probably won't do Owen Reece.

@ObserverIO -

Prior to Olsen's comments about not returning to the franchise, I would have had her for Reece's stand-in. But in her absence, I think that Loki with his literal grasp on every branch of the newly established Yggdrasil of a Multiverse might be able to fill in that gap of the story.

As for Franklin, while I'm familiar with the scene you're referring to, I don't think they're gonna risk using him as anything more than Doom's way of handling Galactus, especially given the run that Shakman himself referenced recently, and how tat boy literally commands the World Eater in SW'15.

@Latverian - Wanda will be used in a reverse House of M manner (“More Mutants”) to populate the post Secret Wars world with mutants.

@mountainman - I'd prefer to use her in a reverse cowgirl manner.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 6/5/2025, 8:35 AM
@Latverian - That's a good point. I gotta wonder if there's more story to tell with Galactus maybe in Doomsday.

Kinda hoping for a little Arishem too.

@ObserverIO -

I've begrudgingly grown to accept that they're steering as far from that underrated IP as possible, especially given how poorly received their latest attempt to bring it back as part of the world-building was.

It wounds me, but it is what it is.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 6/5/2025, 8:56 AM
@Latverian - Same. I think they chose the wrong celestial to focus on. Sure it was weird that nobody acknowledged Tiamat, but an acknowledgment doesn't take a whole movie. A few lines here and there in some series and films would do it.

But Arishem is a genuine loose end.

This is the absolutely correct answer.

Dammit, I should have called dibs.

Thinking about the GA that doesn’t watch the Disney Plus shows, the last time they’ve seen Loki was in Endgame escaping via portal using the Tesseract. Now they will see him as the God of Stories. Curious how much that will confuse them and if it will impact their enjoyment.

@mountainman - there will probably be a Previous Leon lol

@bobevanz - The best way to tie up all the lose threads from Phases 4-6 would be to have an epic Luis scene where he just infodumps it all.

I wonder for how long Hiddleston knew he would be in it as in the Kang days or perhaps a little bit before they announced those cast members?.

Anyway , looking forward to him in this since I have a feeling it’s likely the last time we see both the character & Hiddleston in the role….

If so then I hope they give him a nice goodbye since I feel his end was already in the finale of S2 where he became burdened with glorious purpose but just not in the way he had ever imagined which was so satisfying.

Hiddleston is great. He makes everything he's in better.
