Tom Hiddleston won’t rule out Loki return & Thor reunion

After the events of Loki Season 2’s finale, Tom Hiddleston has said it’d be “unwise” to rule out reprising the role – and that could include a reunion with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor.

Loki and Thor last saw each other in the opening sequence of Avengers: Endgame, with the trickster handing the tesseract over to Thanos, pledging his “undying fidelity”, before trying to kill him – and failing, brutally.

The Great Titan picked him up like a toy and snapped his neck, before dropping his corpse in front of his shackled brother. After beating death twice, this was really it for the God of Mischief – until Endgame, where a timey-wimey mishap led to the 2012 version of Loki escaping the Avengers’ grasp before he was taken to Asgard for prosecution.

“I assure you, brother… the Sun will shine on us again,” were the last words spoken between the two brothers, but MCU fans are still waiting.

Tom Hiddleston addresses possible Loki return and Thor reunion

In a new interview with Comic Book, Hiddleston was asked if he’ll return as Loki after the Season 2 finale, which seemed to “close the book” on the character’s journey.

“It’s so hard because I’ll be completely honest with you… I have at least twice in my life said goodbye,” he explained.

“I’ve written to Kevin Feige and Louis de Esposito and Victoria Alonso and been like, ‘Thank you so much. It’s been like the role of a lifetime,’ and they’ve written notes back saying, ‘Come and see us anytime. You’re always part of the family. We’re always here. You’ve given us so much and tears have been shared.’ So I think I’d be unwise at this point to be conclusive about any of it.”

Wherever Loki slots back into the MCU’s story (Secret Wars is the likeliest candidate), fans are keen to see the Asgardian brothers together again. Thor never saw what Loki became: the hero he believed he could be – not just a god on a throne, but his equal.

“I think both Thor and Loki have had to excavate and analyze the past and who they feel they really are and what they really want,” Hiddleston continued.

“But what’s interesting about family as well, this is just me thinking about it, is sometimes it will be difficult to let go of the preconception of who they used to be. Loki might be expecting Thor to behave in a certain way or be a certain way. Thor might be expecting Loki to be a certain way. So I think initially it would be really confusing, but also they’d been apart for a long time, and no doubt they’ve been objects in each other’s mind. And so yeah, I think I wonder what a reunion would likely be, we’ll see.”
