Loki might have only just wrapped on Disney Plus, but it seems we might be seeing Tom Hiddleston back as the trickster God sooner rather than later.
A new report from THR suggests that Hiddleston will be reprising his role in the upcoming Doctor Strange 2, which is due out next year. This is the first time Hiddleston has been linked to the film, though the report says that Marvel hasn't confirmed the news.
Doctor Strange 2 is thought to delve into the multiverse, as is suggested by its official title, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. Considering Loki has been all about multiple timelines, it would make a lot of sense for Hiddleston's character to show up in the Marvel sequel.
Besides Wanda's appearance in the movie, the sequel's plot is being kept shrouded in mystery. But, what is interesting is that Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange is set to appear in Spider-Man 3, AKA Spider-Man: No Way Home. The Marvel threequel is widely expected to explore the multiverse in something like a live-action Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are reportedly reprising their respective takes on Peter Parker, and Alfred Molina has already confirmed that he'll be back as Doc Ock. Jamie Foxx is also reportedly reappearing as Electro.
Hiddleston will also be back in the MCU for Loki season 2, which was announced in the Loki finale's mid-credits scene. Surprisingly, no other stinger was included, as is normal for Marvel movies and TV shows, but the news that the God of Mischief isn't done stirring up trouble in the MCU just yet is definitely welcome.
Next up on Marvel's release slate is another multiverse-related project. What If…? is an animated series that will explore alternate takes on familiar MCU stories, and recently released a new trailer.
