The actor, who started his film career with Joanna Hogg's films Unrelated in 2007 and Archipelago in 2010, went on to reprise the role in "The Avengers" (2012), "Thor: The Dark World" (2013), "Avengers: Age of Ultron" (2015), "Thor: Ragnarok" (2017), "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018) "Avengers: Endgame" (2019) and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" (2023).

There are also several actors returning from the "X-Men" universe, which is making its official merge with the MCU for "Doomsday."

The cast of Marvel mutants includes Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Kesley Grammer as Beast, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, James Marsden as Cyclops and Rebecca Romijn as Mystique.

Loki is hands down my favorite MCU character! Tom Hiddleston brings so much depth to him. Can't wait to see what tricks he has up his sleeve this time 🎭

I'm excited but honestly worried about the X-Men merge. The MCU already feels overcrowded. Hope they don't ruin these iconic characters by rushing their introduction.

The cast list is insane! But I really hope the movie focuses on character development rather than just cramming in cameos. Quality over quantity please!

After that Loki series finale, I have SO many questions. Doomsday better address that cliffhanger! #LokiVariants

Kelsey Grammer returning as Beast? That's the best news I've heard all week! The original X-Men cast coming back is going to be magical ✨
