Tom Hiddleston says ‘Thor Ragnarok’ will be his final Loki appearance
Tom Hiddleston fans will surely be devastated to hear that the I Saw the Light actor has teased about his last appearance as Loki in Thor: Ragnarok.
While speaking to The Daily Beast, Hiddleston shared the fate of Loki in Marvel’s Cinematic universe.
“Thor 3 will be cool because I’ve not done it for four years,” he said. “I love working with Chris [Hemsworth]. This will be my last time out of the gate.”
Hiddleston, 35, first appeared as Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) villainous brother in the original standalone film, then reprised his role in The Avengers and Thor: Dark World. Hiddleston was pressed about the next Avengers film, claiming he won’t be making an appearance in Avengers: Infinity War, well sort of, after the earlier remark.
“I don’t know! Honestly, I don’t know. They haven’t got their ducks in a row yet. They make it up as they go along.”
Thor: Ragnarok will start filming in Australia the later this Spring with Hemsworth and Hiddleston joined by Creed star Tessa Thompson (rumored to be replacing Natalie Portman). Like Hiddleston and Jamie Alexander will also return for Ragnarok to play Sif, joined by Oscar winner Cate Blanchett and Mark Ruffalo, who will reprise his Avengers role as the Hulk (possibly being shipped off Earth to set up the Planet Hulk narrative).
Ragnarok is rumored to not be spending much time down on Midgard (a.k.a. Earth), which may explains why Stellan Skarsgard’s Dr. Erik Selvig won’t be back either. (and presumably that Kat Dennings’ Darcy will not be appearing either.)
Thor: Ragnarok is set to arrive in theaters on Nov. 3, 2017.
Marvel then follows Ragnarok with Black Panther (Nov. 3, 2017) and Marvel’s The Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 (May 4, 2018)
