Loki May Not Return In 'The Avengers' Sequel

Posted byBy Jarel McRae | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

British actor Tom Hiddleston, who portrayed Thor villian Loki, has revealed that he is not sure if he will be returning to play the character in The Avengers sequel.

“I don’t know, and that is really the honest answer. I know I’ve been known for obfuscation in other quarters, but I have no idea,” he said. ” I haven’t spoken to Joss. He’s definitely doing it. So I suspect not, only because I think that probably the audiences are tired of Loki being the bad guy.Maybe the Avengers need someone else to fight. But I’d love to be part of it again.”

The Avengers sequel without Loki? One has to wonder who would be the lead villian if that’s the case? Well, if Hiddleston’s character doesn’t make an appearance in The Avengers sequel, one can bet that he will surely have a starring role in Thor: The Dark World, the once again battle his brother until one falls to earth.

The other orginial cast members also have not confirmed for The Avengers sequel as of yet, but the film is expected to hit theaters May 2015.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
