Tom Hiddleston "very, very excited" to return as Loki in 'Avengers: Doomsday'

Naturally, that was not the only Easter egg. His final line, "I know what I want. I know what kind of god I need to be — for you. For all of us," was actually the actor's idea, mirroring the line he says at the end of Thor, "I could have done it, Father — for you. For all of us."

While the first time is "full of need, desperation, yearning for acceptance and misguided intention," and "his own broken heart," this time was different. "It has a completely different meaning, which is full of love, sacrifice, selflessness, and generosity," he told Shōgun star Anna Sawai for Variety. 

He credits the reason that he's been able to play the character for so long is "because of the audience’s curiosity and passion," mentioning to Backstage, "I’ve been delighted to find that for a character of such stature, he’s remarkably human. Many of the characteristics that people connect to in Loki are deeply human feelings. That’s been the pleasure, is infusing this elevated character with humanity."

The rest of the cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, and Robert Downey Jr.

Get ready, the sun will shine on Loki and Thor again in Avengers: Doomsday, which will be released in theaters in May 2026.
