Confirmed: Loki will return

Loki is BACK!

Marvel’s Kevin Feige has confirmed that Tom Hiddleston will return in both Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War. This is great news because any time Loki is in a movie, you already know that there is something great headed your way. Since Tom first took on the role as the trickster he has owned that role.

He had some of the very best scenes of all of the Avengers. The scene between Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Hiddleston in the movie was some of the best delivered and most believable lines. 

Loki: The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?
Tony Stark: The Avengers. That's what we call ourselves; we're sort of like a team. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" type thing.
Loki: Yes, I've met them.
Tony Stark: Yeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a head count here: your brother the demi-god; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and YOU, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
Loki: That was the plan.
Tony Stark: Not a great plan. When they come, and they WILL, they'll come for you.
Loki: I have an army.
Tony Stark: We have a Hulk.

Also, his scene with Hulk is the funniest scene in the entire movie.

Loki: Enough! You are, all of you are beneath me! I am a god, you dull creature, and I will not be bullied by...

The Hulk: Puny god.

Needless to say, I am very glad that Loki will be back. We will have to wait and see if he happens to make any cameos before his return in Thor: Ragnarok. Everything I have seen makes it look like Marvel is going to close off Phase III with all the excitement and action that they started this journey with in Marvel's Iron Man. In the words of Stan Lee... "Excelsior!"
