Will Loki Season 2's Ending Act as the Beginning of Doomsday? Tom Hiddleston Shares Details While Also Addressing His Return in MCU
Tom Hiddleston is set to return as Loki in the upcoming Marvel movie, Avengers: Doomsday. The actor made an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, where he revealed if Loki season 2's ending would lead to the beginning of Doomsday.
The talk show host stated that it is the God of Mischief who held the timeline of the MCU. Hiddleston went on to correct him that the character still holds the timeline.
Moreover, the English native shared that while he knew that he would be a part of the Avengers film, Tom had no idea about the makers going live to announce the cast.
Tom Hiddleston's comments on Avengers: Doomsday
While on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, the host went on to ask the actor, 'Is this going to be a major part of Avengers: Doomsday?' referring to his character holding the timeline.
Hiddleston responded, 'See, this is where I run out of rope, Jimmy. We always do this dance, you and me. I can exclusively tell you...I will be there.'
He further added, 'There was the big thing they released of all the names on the back of the chairs. I didn't know. I was like, 'Oh, I guess I'm in the movie.' In fairness, I did know I was in the movie. But I am so used to not knowing, 'I'm in the movie.''
It is understandable that Hiddleston won't give out any information regarding the new Marvel film. As of now, the fans are only aware of Robert Downey Jr. returning to Marvel as Dr. Doom, the villain.
Loki Season 2 ending, and how it play an important role in Avengers: Doomsday
As for the ending of Loki season 2, the audience witnessed that Hiddleston's character sacrificed himself after learning that he will stay alone forever. He exchanged himself for the powers that would keep the multiverse safe, since none of the Kang variants are alive to create chaos in his friends' lives.
One major spoiler, as per the theories, could be that in Avengers: Doomsday, Dr. Doom could try to steal Loki's power and create havoc in the multiverse.
Avengers: Doomsday will hit theaters in December 2026.

How a Pat Cummins picture with TV host Jeremy Clarkson got Aussie, English fans throwing sandpaper, Murray Mints online disses at each other
In a strange aligning, as per Twitrer handle Merovaeous all of these cricket teams – India, England, Australia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and West Indies are currently camped in UK. But in a prelude to the World Test Championship, Australia captain Pat Cummins was spotted on a Twitter post by famous TV host Jeremy Clarkson, saying, 'Hey Australia, look who I've stolen.' Clarkson, former host of Top Gear and The Grand Tour has a sleeper hit reality TV farm show Clarksons Farm on OTT, currently in its 4th season. It is extremely popular among Americans and takes place on a 1,000-acre Oxfordshire farm called Diddly Squat. The show rivalled BBC's 30-year-old farm show Countryfile (like Indian Aamchi Martínez, Aamchi mansa), and acquired a cult following since 2021. Pat Cummins, in UK for the World Test Championship, might have dropped in to feature in one of the episodes, went the speculation. The OxfordMail reported, 'Despite being regarded as one of the best fast bowlers of all time, having taken almost 300 Test wickets, people in the comments mistook him for Tom Cruise. Mr Clarkson is well known for disliking cricket, but the latest season of Clarkson's Farm showed him getting willow trees planted which will eventually be used to make cricket bats.' While Americans were befuddled and intrigued over who he was – Cummins, that is – and the usual 'introduction to cricket' jokes followed, the thread set off another predictable bantering exchange – between English and Aussie cricket fans. The handle, Jason Nevett took the first potshots: 'You can tell he is Ozzie cricketer by the sand paper they always carry.' A David Moore handle responded with, 'Just as the Poms carry Murray Mints.' That was a reference to jelly beans and Mints that the English bowlers get saddled with for using allegedly to work the ball for reverse swing. Sandpapergate is of course well accounted for the controversy it triggered. The Nevett handle kept darting at responses with various version of sandpaper ripostes. The handle Kaotic entered the chat and declared, 'Cheers mate, Don't forget to tune into us and South Africa playing for the world test championship in your backyard.' England's Bazballers never seem to qualify for WTC, though it always gets hosted in UK. Yet another 'will have sandpaper on standby for yas' from Nevett, had Kaotic quipping, '30 grit please…Although it will do you no good as you would be spectating the final as usual.' His slightly predictable comeback next time to being called 'cheaters' was 'No count back to this final' with a picture of Australia winning the last WTC mace. A few Twitter users also commented that the man with Clarkson was Tom Cruise, 'looking younger.' Sine not-so-bright Aussies asked Clarkson to keep Cummins on the farm, because he was 'woke'. English fans, dreading an Ashes peppering later in the year, requested Clarkson to push him into the bull ring and other assorted sabotage techniques, all in good humour though. Hopefully.

Kamal Haasan Opposes Hindi 'Imposition' In India, Backs Global Languages: 'Can Do Spanish, Chinese'
Last Updated: Kamal Haasan speaks out against Hindi imposition amid controversy around "Kannada born out of Tamil" statement. Kamal Haasan has never shied away from political or cultural debates—and this time is no different. While promoting his latest film Thug Life, the veteran actor addressed the sensitive issue of Hindi being imposed in non-Hindi-speaking states, voicing strong support for linguistic freedom across the country. The controversy follows recent remarks by Kamal Haasan, where he stated that Kannada originated from Tamil. This sparked outrage in Karnataka, resulting in Thug Life not being released in the state. But the actor remained unapologetic, instead reminding people of his own past work in Hindi cinema. Also see: Amid Kannada Language Row, Kamal Haasan Reacts To Bengaluru Stampede: 'Heart-Wrenching Tragedy' 'I am the actor from Ek Duuje Ke Liye…," Haasan told PTI, recalling his 1981 film about a Tamil man falling in love with a Hindi-speaking woman — one of his best-known roles in the Hindi belt. During the media interaction, he made his stance on language imposition clear. 'Without imposition, we will learn. Don't impose, because this is ultimately education and we must take the shortest route to education… and not put hurdles in its way," he said. Kamal Haasan further underlined that the resistance to Hindi isn't just a southern issue. 'I stand with Punjab. I stand with Karnataka. I stand with Andhra. This is not only place which is resenting imposition," he said, speaking out for linguistic inclusivity across India. Talking about global competitiveness, he added that adopting a practical, global language could offer a smoother path forward. 'And English seems to be fair enough. You can do Spanish also, or Chinese. But I think the most practical thing where the shortest route to that is that we have 350 years of English education, slowly but steadily. So when you suddenly replace it, it's all over again. You make unnecessarily many people illiterate, especially in Tamil Nadu," he said. He continued, highlighting the concerns faced by non-Hindi speakers. 'You suddenly force all through Hindi and you tell them that you will not get your job beyond the Vindhyas, then you start wondering, what about the promises? What about my language? Am I not one of the 22 (official languages)? These are the questions that are coming," he rued. Kamal Haasan had sought court protection for the film's release in the state, but later confirmed that Thug Life would not be released in Karnataka following observations from the Karnataka High Court.

Amid Kannada language row, Kamal Haasan takes bold stance on Hindi imposition in south: 'I stand with Karnataka, Andhra'
He may be embroiled in a controversy regarding his comments on a language, but Kamal Haasan still won't shy away from sharing his two bits on the issue of the imposition of Hindi in the south. The actor spoke about Hindi imposition while promoting his new film, Thug Life, and made it clear where he stands. (Also read: Abhishek Banerjee, Rana Daggubati react to row over Kamal Haasan's Kannada comment: 'Same about Marathi-Bihari…') The pan-India superstar's latest film, Thug Life, the 234th in a 65-year career, released in theatres this week amid controversy over his comment that Kannada was born out of Tamil. He refused to apologise, and the film was not released in Karnataka. "I am the actor from Ek Duuje Ke Liye...,' Haasan told PTI, referring to his 1981 hit Hindi film about a Tamil boy and his romance with his Hindi-speaking neighbour. 'Without imposition, we will learn. Don't impose, because this is ultimately education and we must take the shortest route to education… and not put hurdles in its way,' the actor said. The ruling DMK in his home state, Tamil Nadu, has long opposed the three-language policy introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP). The party has repeatedly accused the BJP-led NDA government of attempting to 'impose Hindi', a charge the Centre has denied. Stressing that the imposition of a particular language only hampers the learning process, the 70-year-old said, 'I stand with Punjab. I stand with Karnataka. I stand with Andhra. This is not only place which is resenting imposition.' The Indian cinema stalwart, hugely popular in the south as well as in the north with films, said if you are truly looking at 'international breakthrough' you must learn one language. 'And English seems to be fair enough. You can do Spanish also, or Chinese. But I think the most practical thing where the shortest route to that is that we have 350 years of English education, slowly but steadily. So when you suddenly replace it, it's all over again. You make unnecessarily many people illiterate, especially in Tamil Nadu. You suddenly force all through Hindi and you tell them that you will not get your job beyond the Vindhyas, then you start wondering, what about the promises? What about my language? Am I not one of the 22 (official languages)? These are the questions that are coming.' The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) had said it would not let Thug Life release unless Haasan apologised for his Kannada-Tamil comment at a promotional event in Chennai. His banner, Raajkamal Films International, filed a plea before the Karnataka High Court seeking protection for the release of the film, which sees him reuniting with Mani Ratnam after Nayakan in 1987. After a rap from the court over the remark, the producers said Thug Life will not be released in Karnataka. Marred by the controversy and negative reviews, Thug Life has had a slow start at the box office. The mega film has earned just ₹30 crore net in India in its first three days.
