The interview also touched on Loki’s status after the conclusion of Loki Season 2. Horowitz referenced the character’s final scene, in which Loki is shown seated on a throne. The interviewer said, “When last we saw our buddy, he was holding all the timelines together on that throne.” Hiddleston acknowledged, saying, “True.”
Horowitz followed up by saying, “I guess his grip let up a little bit at some point or.” He pressed further, asking whether the character remains seated throughout Avengers: Doomsday or eventually rises from the throne.
Tom Hiddleston responded with, “The last we saw him, he was sitting on the throne,” before adding, “What happens next? You’ll have to wait and see.” Moreover, without divulging much, he stated it was “very exciting” to bring new changes to his portrayal of Loki. The British thespian then acknowledged how it was “amazing” to be a part of the massive ensemble cast.
