Marvel fans who have stuck with the franchise through thick and thin know that while the Marvel Cinematic Universe will sometimes make a disappointing movie, there’s usually a bright spot to those movies as well.
This was the case of the first two Thor movies that, while not bad, weren’t that good, either. One of the highlights of those movies has been Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, and that’s partly why Marvel has decided to give him his own show.
There are many reasons why fans love Loki, and Hiddleston is one of them. Here’s a look at why fans are so excited for Tom Hiddleston to return to his role as Loki.
The cheating prince is back for ‘Loki’
Phase one of the MCU involved all the early movies that people know and love, and of course the main villain of phase one was Loki. During this phase of the MCU, Loki was portrayed as a cheating prince, someone who is mischievous and willing to use his magic and powers to trick people into getting away with it.
And, like a behind-the-scenes cast photo of The Avengers he showed, fans on Reddit really miss that side of Loki. After that, Loki was imprisoned and his character developed. He kept fooling people, but little by little he was becoming a “good guy”.
This arc ended when Loki attempted to trick Thanos into saving his brother’s life, but Thanos saw through the trick and killed Loki for it.
But of course, thanks to time travel, Loki will return for his own show on Disney +, and that Loki will be the same mischievous demon from Phase One.
This has excited many fans as many people miss those old MCU days. With Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson leaving Marvel, this leaves precious few characters from that era.
