Disney Confirms Hemsworth and Hiddleston for Avengers: Doomsday

The returning Loki is a 2012 variant without Thor’s reconciled history, setting up a complex on-screen reunion.

Overview

  • Disney disclosed the casting with a quiet update rather than a major announcement, ending recent uncertainty about both actors’ MCU status.
  • Reports describe Doomsday as a large-scale crossover with nearly 30 heroes, with X-Men appearances and Robert Downey Jr. reportedly portraying Doctor Doom.
  • The Loki active in continuity stems from Endgame’s 2012 branch, so he lacks the growth of the Loki who died before Infinity War.
  • Thor enters the film after Love and Thunder with his guardianship of Love, a development that could reshape his interactions with Loki.
  • Entertainment outlets are speculating about a possible Thor 5, though no standalone sequel has been confirmed.
