27 actors have been confirmed so far to star inAvengers: Doomsday. Marvel Studios' extremely long cast announcement video included some expected names (like Chris Hemsworth and the cast ofFantastic Four: First Steps), alongside some unexpected and underappreciated characters (Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi). But, one name very few people expected to appear on a chair wasTom Hiddleston, who has played Loki in the MCU sinceThor. Many assumed that Season 2 ofLokimarked the end of the character’s story. But Hiddleston has finally addressed his name appearing on a chair in the casting video, and he’s so happy he’s back.
Tom Hiddleston appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast to promote his upcomingStephen King adaptation,The Life of Chuck,and addressed his unexpected MCU future. The actor revealed that he also thought Season 2 ofLokiwould be the end for the eponymous character in the MCU. “I didn’t know that,” he said of Marvel’s plans for Loki to appear inAvengers: Doomsday. “I was sincere in my conviction that I thought it was the end… I didn’t know then. I didn’t know what the plan was. Then- I’m trying to remember how long I’ve known.”
MCU Star Teases Finally Getting “a Little Bit More” to Do in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
‘Black Panther’ star Letitia Wright hints at a larger role for Shuri in ‘Doomsday’ than in prior ‘Avengers’ movies.
Earning his moniker as the God of Mischief,Loki’s past appearances in the MCU have involved some deception from Tom Hiddleston, as he’s had to lie about Loki appearing in certain projects. But the proverbial cat is out of the bag, and the actor said he’s so relieved he can talk about something without incurring the wrath of the Marvel Spoiler Police. “It’s actually such a relief to say I’m in the film.” Now that Loki’s MCU future has been confirmed, Tom Hiddleston wants to keep the ball rolling. “There’s more stories to tell, and I feel like the character has grown as I grow.”
Tom Hiddleston Has One Demand for Loki’s MCU Return
One of the biggest complaints leveled against the MCU is that death has become somewhat meaningless within the franchise. While this is largely due to the multiverse, it all started with Loki faking his death in almost every movie he appeared in. The podcast host, Josh Horowitz, pointed out Loki’s tendency to fake his death during the interview, saying thatLoki needs to survive the events ofAvengers: Doomsday.Tom Hiddleston agreed with the sentiment, joking, “I’ll text the Russos,” referring toDoomsday’s writing and directing duo, Joe and Anthony Russo.
Avengers: Doomsdayis currently scheduled to release on July 21, 2025. The movie was initially slated for release next May, but this was delayed,along withAvengers: Secret Wars.Production onDoomsdayis underway in England. Alongside Hiddleston, the film will also star Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and so many more Marvel veterans. Many fans believe that the 26 names announced so far are just the beginning of the film’s cast. Rumors have spread online that Marvel Studios will release the next batch of casting news soon.
