The Avengers : Age of Ultron

Tom Hiddleston Knows IF ‘Loki’ Is In THE AVENGERS 2? Nope!

Wednesday 3 April 2013, by Webmaster

Remaining tight-lipped obviously, English actor Tom Hiddleston has reportedly confirmed talking with The Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon about Loki’s potential involvement with the 2015 sequel!

Tom Hiddleston was asked late last year, just weeks after Thor: The Dark World wrapped filming, would he return as Marvel’s God of Mischief for a fourth time in Joss Whedon’s 2015 follow-up to The Avengers. Responding then that he hadn’t talked with the filmmaker about the possibility, during tonight’s Jameson Empire Awards, the British actor indicated he now knows whether Loki will go up against his step-brother, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes yet again.

UPDATE: It seems I jumped the gun yesterday. Video of Tom Hiddleston discussing The Avengers sequel reveals that the English still knows nothing about the film or whether he’ll return.

Evidently, this doesn’t mean Hiddleston will indeed reprise the role in The Avengers sequel, especially considering a new threat for the team is inevitable. However, there was a similar situation last year with Thor actress Kat Dennings, who is in fact returning in The Dark World. Also, Marvel hasn’t been shy about the desire to have the mischief-maker appear in multiple films throughout the cinematic universe. Of course, we won’t know for sure until Marvel confirms it or a certain media outlet gets the scoop. But, we could at least have a clue whether he’ll return, even if it’s only a cameo, based on Loki’s fate in at the end of Thor: The Dark World. What do you think?

Marvel Studios already describes their highly-anticipated sequel to the No. 3 highest grossing film of all time, “Marvel’s The Avengers,” as another “big cinematic event.” And expected to feature the reassembly of iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow & Nick Fury taking on a new unexpected enemy, new additions to the superhero team up of a lifetime are possible.

Expecting reprisals from Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon from a screenplay by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” sequel is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. And set for release May 1, 2015, the film is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. In addition to the sequel, Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including “Iron Man 3” on May 3, 2013; “Thor: The Dark World ” on November 8, 2013; “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” on April 4, 2014; and “Guardians of the Galaxy” on August 1, 2014.
