OMG YES! Loki is my absolute favorite character in the MCU. Tom Hiddleston plays him so perfectly - that mix of mischief and vulnerability. Can't wait to see what tricks he has up his sleeve this time! 🔥

I'm excited but also a bit worried. The MCU has been bringing back too many dead characters lately. It kinda takes away the stakes if no death is permanent. Still, Hiddleston is amazing as Loki so I'll definitely watch.

The cast list for this movie is insane! X-Men AND Fantastic Four? Plus all the OG Avengers? This is going to be epic. 2026 can't come soon enough!

I just finished Loki season 2 and the character development was incredible. If they can bring that same quality writing to the movie, we're in for a treat. Hiddleston deserves all the praise he gets for this role.

Not sure how I feel about this. Loki had a perfect ending in Infinity War. Bringing him back feels like fan service. Though I'll admit, nobody does mischievous god better than Hiddleston. 🤷‍♀️

The multiverse opens up so many possibilities! Maybe we'll get a variant Loki teaming up with the main timeline Avengers. Either way, more Hiddleston is always a good thing in my book.
