Thanks to the end of the SAG strike, Tom Hiddleston is allowed to talk about Loki and appears on The Tonight Show where he is questioned about both Deadpool 3 and Avengers: Secret Wars and even Iron Man.
Loki, Deadpool 3, and Avengers: Secret Wars all deal in some way with the Multiverse and Variants. Jimmy Fallon questioned, “Does the Loki finale set up the Deadpool 3 movie or the Avengers: Secret Wars movie?”
“I mean, I know they’re making Deadpool 3,” Hiddleston answered at first, with Fallon butting in, “That’s not the question, Tom,” which drew laughter from the actor and the crowd.
Hiddleston continued, “It’s a very good question. I’m thinking of all the answers I could give it.”
“I don’t want to get you in trouble,” said Fallon.
“Yeah,” said Hiddleston. “I know that Ryan Reynolds, he like, owns a football team in the UK. A soccer team…”
Time-slipping the answer?
Fallon switched things up and asked, “How about this? Since Loki knows how to time slip now, can he go find someone like Tony Stark aka Iron Man?”
“This is investigative journalism right here,” replied Hiddleston teasing with a big smile, “Time-slipping, technically, gives Loki some interesting moves he could make…”
Hiddleston added, “I suppose. Yeah. He can move from past, present, future. I know that I can time-slip. I don’t know that other characters can time-slip. Speaking for myself, Loki’s died a few times and come back. I’m still here. So I don’t know that death is necessarily… I mean death is up for grabs. It’s an existential question… That’s all I can give you…”
Are The Avengers returning?
It would be ironic if Loki is responsible for bringing them back as the god of mischeif tried to destroy them back in The Avengers movie in 2012. Loki also has The Avengers to thank for his continued existence thanks to becoming a Variant due to the events of Avengers: Endgame, so who knows, maybe he will return the favor?
Regarding when fans will next see Tom Hiddleston and Loki in the MCU is unknown but there is actually question if he is done with Marvel.
Also speaking with Fallon on The Tonight Show, Tom Hiddleston said Loki is “the conclusion to 6 films and 12 episodes and 14 years of my life.”
