Tom Hiddleston’s Loki will reportedly have a major role in Avengers: Doomsday, and get to do something major in the movie as well.
What is Tom Hiddleston’s Loki rumored to do in Avengers: Doomsday?
The rumor suggests that Loki will wield Mjölnir, Thor’s hammer, in some fashion in the upcoming movie. The news comes as a surprise mainly due to the nature of Mjölnir, and that you must be deemed “worthy” to pick it up. Should Loki end up using it, whatever he does in the movie must end up being extremely worthy of the move.
