Summary
A deleted scene from Loki season 1 featuring Chris Hemsworth as Throg will be included in the physical release.
Throg's potential appearance in Loki season 2 could bring some humor to the show's serious storyline and alleviate the tension. With Hemsworth portraying Throg, his cameo would unite him with Tom Hiddleston and other MCU stars in the Disney+ series.
A deleted scene from season 1 of Loki, featuring actor Chris Hemsworth as Thor, will be available for Marvel Cinematic Universe fans to watch. The scene showcases the variant Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, who escapes using the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame and is later captured by the Time Variance Authority. During this sequence, the variant Loki learns about the fate of the main version of the character in the MCU through a history lesson given by Owen Wilson's Mobius B. Mobius. Although Hemsworth's scene was initially cut, it will now be included in the physical release of Loki season 1, set to be released on September 26. The scene, titled "Loki's Coronation," involves Mobius reviewing moments from Loki's timeline, where Frog Thor, a character known as Throg, makes an appearance. Unlike the cameo in the original season 1 release, Hemsworth will now fully portray Throg in this new version.
Why Loki Season 1's Deleted Scene May Be Mentioned In Season 2
The deleted scene featuring Hemsworth as Throg, which was released just before the premiere of Loki season 2 on October 6, suggests the character may make a return in the upcoming season. In Loki season 1, episode 5, Marvel fans were excited to see Throg, but he only had a brief appearance with no lines. By including Throg in a cameo role in season 2, Marvel would be satisfying fans who may not have purchased the season 1 physical release.
Furthermore, the inclusion of Throg, even in a cameo, would benefit Loki season 2 in various ways. The new season will delve into a serious plot, with the TVA's transformation under Kang the Conqueror's influence at the end of season 1. The trailer for Loki season 2, as well as the post-credits scene in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, have hinted at Loki and Mobius facing another Kang variant, Victor Timely, in season 2. Throg's presence could provide a comedic element to alleviate the tension in the new season.
Having Throg make an appearance in Loki season 2 could provide an entertaining opportunity for a Hemsworth cameo. Given their intertwined MCU histories as the iconic brothers Thor and Loki, it would be best to reserve a potential meeting between the main Thor and the Loki from the series for a movie. Therefore, featuring Hemsworth as Throg in Loki season 2 would be the optimal way to showcase the talents of these two MCU stars on the Disney+ series.
