Fans had been quite sad about not being able to see Tom Hiddleston as Loki in 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron,' however, 'Thor' co-star Idris Elba spilled some very telling spoilers for the trickster's role in the newest Marvel movie.
Elba, who plays Heimdall in the 'Thor' franchise, revealed to The Telegraph that he will indeed be in the new Avengers film. Despite not being in the trailer, the 42-year-old actor mischievously spilled his own surprise appearance for the highly anticipated film.
If fans wanted more good news, then Elba is the one to listen to. It seems the sword-wielding deity in the superhero film won't be alone either.
"[I'm] doing a scene with Chris Hemsworth [who plays Thor] and Tom Hiddleston [Loki], and they're like, [whispers] - 'Aren't you [meant to be] in Ibiza?'" He told The Telegraph, unwittingly revealing Hiddleston's involvement in the second Avengers film.
According to Perez Hilton, Tom Hiddleston as Loki will appear in the now-famous Marvel post-credits scene for Avengers 2. Fans of Marvel movies would know that a short clip, which usually previews the next instalment, appears right after the credits stop rolling.
Does this mean that Loki will be showing up in the third film as well?
According to Screen Rant, it's highly possible that he would be appearing in 'Avengers: Infinity Wars.' In 'Thor: The Dark World,' he was finally able to rule Asgard under the guise of his adopted father, Odin. What would his role be in Avengers?
"Loki owes Thanos big time and Thanos always collects," Screen Rant reported.
According to the article, the sceptre he used to own, which was reportedly used in 'The Avengers' as well, was actually given to Loki by Thanos. It also holds one of the six Infinity Stones (the Mind gem). Another gem, the Tesseract or the Space Gem is also kept in Odin's vault in Asgard.
Would Loki have to abandon his disguise as Odin to fight (or perhaps side with) Thanos in 'Avengers: Infinity Wars?' At the very least, Thor would have to go back to Asgard for the Tesseract.
Do you think Tom Hiddleston, as Loki, have a huge role in the third Avengers movie?
Hiddleston is currently training hard to portray American country legend Hank Williams. He is also the fan favorite to play Benedict Cumberbatch's brother in the BBC series 'Sherlock.'
