Avengers: Doomsdayis set to give fans one MCU reunion they have been waiting several years to see, asTom Hiddlestonand Chris Hemsworth will appear together in the main Marvel Universe timeline for the first time since Loki’s “final” death inAvengers: Infinity War. Hiddleston, who was last seen in Disney+ seriesLokias hetook his place at the center of the multiverse as the God of Stories, has now revealed how he is glad to be able to actually speak about being in the movie after knowing about his casting for some time.
Speaking to TikTok star Max Balegde, Hiddleston shared his joy that his journey as Loki is “not over yet.” He said:
“Very excited. It’s been an extraordinary chapter in my life playing Loki, and it’s not over yet. It’s really remarkable, actually, that I can talk about it because mostly I’m in a position of knowing and not being able to say anything. It’s strange, you know you have to be disciplined about carrying this secret around.”
Marvel stars keeping secrets is nothing new, and lying about upcoming appearances is even more common.Following the indulgentDoomsdaycasting announcement– aka the one with the chairs – a lot of actors have been given the chance to speak about their part in the next Avengers ensemble. Just don’t expect them to spill any in-depth details about it.
Simu Liu Shared His Delight to Be Returning as Shang-Chi
During a recent appearance onThe Jennifer Hudson Show, Simu Liu, who has not appeared in the MCU since his introduction in 2021’sShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, was asked about his return to the franchise inDoomsday. He said:
“We are so excited to get back to work. It is obviously going to be such an amazing big movie that is going to be so secretive and that I can’t talk about at all. But what I will say is that I knew that I was going to be involved in it in some capacity, but I didn’t know who else they were announcing.”
I’m Sorry, but I Don’t Want to See the Fox X-Men Cast in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
The Fox X-Men are coming to the MCU in ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ but we should’ve let the characters rest.
While it is one thing for actors to keep their casting from the public, according to Liu, even otherDoomsdayactors don’t know who they will be cast alongside in the movie. For that reason, Liu was as in the dark about the return of some prominentX-Menstars as everyone who watched the live-stream.
“I saw when Sir Ian [McKellen] and Sir Patrick [Stewart] were announced, these are like two of the greatest actors to ever walk the face of the Earth, and that kind of blew my mind a little bit.”
Exactly howAvengers: Doomsdaywill play out is something that we will mostly have to wait another year to find out. Will it be able to rival the last Avengers movie? Only time will tell, but it seems very unlikely that we will be discussing the movie in the same dismal box office terms ofThe MarvelsorSony’s Spider-Man Universe moviesin just over a year’s time.
