Loki to appear in Thor: Ragnarok and both parts of Avengers: Infinity War
It has been confirmed that Tom Hiddleston's Loki will feature heavily in the new batch of Marvel films recently announced.
Kevin Feige says Thor's villainous step-brother will be in both Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War.
It was pretty much a given he would put in an appearance in the third Thor film. By the end of Thor: The Dark World he was able to take the form of King Odin and had persuaded Thor (Chris Hemsworth) to return to Earth and be with Jane Foster, played by Natalie Portman.
He will also play a part in Avengers: Infinity Part 1 and Part 2 because his sceptre has one of the Infinity Stones in it and once it is placed in the Infinity Gauntlet (bear with us....) it will set off havoc for the band of superheroes to deal with.
That doesn't guarantee he will appear in Avengers 2, but given how popular Hiddleston is and the glee he plays the villain with, producers may include him in some form.
Thor: Ragnarok will be released on July 28, 2017, while Avengers: Infinity Part 1 will come out the following year on May 4, 2018, before 'Part 2' follows on May 3, 2019.
