Avengers: Infinity War kicked off with Thanos attacking Thor, Loki, and The Hulk, and things ended in tragedy when the God of Mischief was choked to death by the Mad Titan. However, executive producer Trinh Tran has revealed in the "Art Of" book for the movie that Loki's demise was kept a secret from crew members right up until the day the scene was shot.
"We created a version of the script where Loki would get away in an escape pod at the beginning of the movie," he reveals. "When we started shooting that particular sequence, we had crew members who were thoroughly confused. We had to let them know that those were fake versions of the script that they read."
Many fans believe that Loki could have escaped death at the hands of Thanos by once again using his powers to create some sort of illusion. That would certainly explain how he'll return in a standalone series, unless, of course, that's set at an earlier point in time, possibly between Thor and The Avengers (when he first crossed paths with the Mad Titan).
