Tom Hiddleston has expressed his enthusiasm for returning as Loki in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday. During a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with host Josh Horowitz, Hiddleston described a moment on set that he characterized as a “pinch-me moment,” reflecting on the surreal experience of working alongside a star-studded cast.
In the finale of Loki Season 2, the character ascended to the throne, becoming the God of Stories responsible for maintaining and preserving timelines. Hiddleston confirmed his role in Avengers: Doomsday but remained tight-lipped about significant plot details. “What happens next, you’ll have to wait and see,” he teased, hinting at exciting developments for Loki.
Collaborative Filming Experience
Hiddleston elaborated on the unique filming experience for Avengers: Doomsday, which features a large ensemble cast. He noted that multiple scenes were filmed simultaneously with different crews and actors, leading to unexpected encounters on set. “It was amazing to be in that ensemble,” Hiddleston stated. “Sometimes, there were two units running for economy. There would be a scene being shot on the first unit and another scene on the second unit with different actors. You would cross paths with people and think, ‘This is a pinch-me moment!’”
The film will see the return of several beloved characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Notable actors joining Hiddleston include Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man, Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen as Erik Lehnsherr, and James Marsden as Scott Summers. Additionally, Robert Downey Jr. returns to the franchise, this time portraying the villainous Victor von Doom, also known as Doctor Doom.

Directed by the Russo Brothers, who previously helmed the last two Avengers films, Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on December 18, 2026. With a mix of returning favorites and new storylines, fans eagerly anticipate what this latest installment will bring to the Marvel universe.
