During a guest appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Tom Hiddleston, renowned for his portrayal of Loki, discussed the potential comeback of Robert Downey Jr. to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the role of Iron Man. The conversation centered around the events of the Loki Season 2 finale and their implications for the MCU’s future.
When asked about Loki’s newfound ability to time-slip and the potential encounters with characters like Tony Stark, Hiddleston responded with humor, saying, “This guy. This is investigative journalism right here!” Delving into the intricacies of time-slipping, he elaborated, “I mean, time-slipping technically gives Loki some interesting moves he can make. I suppose, yeah, he can move from past, present, future. I know that I can time-slip. I don’t know that other characters can time-slip.”
Touching upon speculations about the original cast’s return for an Avengers movie, including Downey Jr. reprising his role as Iron Man, Hiddleston playfully commented, “Speaking for myself, Loki’s died a few times. I’m still here.” On the philosophical aspect of death in the MCU, he added, “I don’t know that death is necessarily. I mean, death is — death is up for grabs, as an existential question. That’s all I can give you.” Fans eagerly await further developments in the MCU and the potential resurgence of iconic characters.
As fans speculate on the MCU’s future, Hiddleston’s insights add an intriguing layer to the possibilities that may unfold in upcoming Marvel projects.
