A new rumor has surfaced surrounding Avengers: Doomsday, hinting at a possible return for Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. The upcoming MCU blockbuster will release on December 18, 2026. Avengers: Secret Wars will release on December 17, 2027, following this film. Fans are already speculating how Loki’s return could impact the Multiverse storyline and connect past MCU events.
Avengers: Doomsday Latest Rumors About Loki’s Return
Insider Daniel Richtman claims that Hiddleston has filmed a scene with Chris Evans as Steve Rogers and Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter. The scene reportedly takes place in the couple’s home. However, Marvel Studios has yet to officially confirm Evans and Atwell’s return, so speculation continues to circulate online.
This rumor appears to align with earlier reports about the consequences of Steve Rogers’ decision to remain in Peggy Carter’s timeline. Because Avengers: Doomsday will heavily focus on the Multiverse, Loki will likely play a key role. Fans last saw him at the end of Loki Season 2, where he sacrificed himself to become the God of Stories and save the Multiverse.
Moreover, Loki’s return could lead to crossover appearances from other fan-favorite characters. In addition, these appearances may tie into both the Disney+ series and upcoming MCU films. As a result, this adds excitement for fans eager to see how past storylines connect with the Multiverse saga.

- Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Paul Rudd, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Letitia Wright, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, and Danny Ramirez.
