Tom Hiddleston has finally spoken about his return to the role of Loki in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday. In a recent interview, Hiddleston expressed his excitement about reprising the character. “It’s really remarkable that I can talk about it because I’m mostly in a position of knowing and not being able to say anything,” Hiddleston said.
He admitted that keeping the secret was challenging. “It’s weird. It’s strange.
You have to be very disciplined about carrying this secret around, but it’s been an extraordinary chapter of my life playing Loki, and it’s not over yet.”
Hiddleston last played Loki in the second season of the character’s standalone series in 2023. He reflected on his past experiences with the role, sharing that he had said goodbye to the character at least twice before. “I have at least twice in my life said goodbye.
I’ve written to Kevin Feige and Louis de Esposito and Victoria Alonso and been like, ‘Thank you so much. It’s been 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,” Hiddleston said.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in cinemas on May 1, 2026. The film promises to bring more action-packed adventures and the return of fan-favorite characters. Hiddleston’s Loki will reunite with his onscreen brother Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, marking over 15 years since the duo first appeared together in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The cast of Avengers: Doomsday will feature 25 other stars reprising their Marvel roles, including Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Ian McKellen as Magneto. The film is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, with a script written by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely. Hiddleston expressed relief at being able to talk about his involvement in the film.
“Being able to talk about it now takes a weight off my shoulders,” he said. “It’s really remarkable to no longer have to carry this secret around.”
Avengers: Doomsday is currently in production in London. Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the film and the return of Loki to the big screen.
