Summary
Marvel Studios hints at a future Thor reunion with Loki in the MCU, revealing that the sun may shine on the Sons of Odin once again.
Kevin Wright, Executive Producer at Marvel Studios, has high hopes for a satisfying encounter between Loki and Thor in the future, focusing on the emotional development of Loki as the main objective across both seasons.
The potential for reunions between Loki and Thor could arise in either the Multiverse Saga or Phase 7, with the exciting prospect of their appearances in upcoming Avengers movies and the potential for a significant change in the Avengers' current situation in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Marvel Studios has hinted at a potential reunion between Loki and Thor in the future of the MCU. As Loki season 2 approaches and explores the next chapter of the God of Mischief's journey with the Time Variance Authority, new information has emerged about the endgame for Tom Hiddleston's character. Marvel Studios executive producer Kevin Wright recently shared some details about Loki season 2 and expressed optimism about a possible future for Loki in the wider MCU, including a reunion with Thor. Check out his exciting comments in the Variety interview below.
The desired outcome is for the original Loki and Thor to reconcile. Emotionally developing Loki is essential for this meeting to be meaningful. This objective has been the focus of the story across these two seasons.
After the original Loki was killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, a different version of the mischievous god was brought into existence due to the Avengers' actions in Endgame. This variant Loki, who evaded SHIELD's custody in 2012 and was subsequently apprehended by the TVA, has been exposed to what his life could have been like. As a result, he is gradually evolving to resemble the more redemptive character witnessed in Infinity War.
When Loki & Thor Are Most Likely To Reunite In The MCU
In addition to Loki season 2, there are potential opportunities for Loki and Thor to reunite in the MCU. The upcoming Avengers films during the Multiverse Saga could be the perfect platform for Loki to aid in defeating Kang the Conqueror, as he has already encountered time-traveling enemies like He Who Remains in Loki season 1 and soon Victor Timely in Loki season 2. Furthermore, it has been speculated that the concluding Avengers: Secret Wars will bring a significant transformation to the MCU, potentially involving the rewriting of the entire multiverse.
Apart from the Multiverse Saga, there is also a possibility for the Sons of Odin to come together in Phase 7. Regardless of the circumstances, a reunion between Thor and Loki would be highly satisfying, fulfilling Loki's promise to Thor in Infinity War that they would find happiness again, even if Loki's version differs from the one Thor lost. It appears that the newest incarnation of Loki in the MCU is on a path towards reaching a significant emotional state, setting the stage for a meaningful reunion with Thor in the near future.
