While speaking with ComicBook, Hiddleston shared his excitement to reunite with the Russo Brothers for their latest installment in the Marvel franchise, reports variety.com.

“(I’m) very, very excited,” Hiddleston said.

“It’s really remarkable that I can talk about it because mostly I’m in a position of knowing and not being able to say anything … It's been an extraordinary chapter of my life playing Loki, and it’s not over yet,” added Hiddleston, who first portrayed the Norse god of mischief in 2011’s “Thor.”

The actor, who started his film career with Joanna Hogg's films Unrelated in 2007 and Archipelago in 2010, went on to reprise the role in “The Avengers” (2012), “Thor: The Dark World” (2013), “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015), “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017), “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018) “Avengers: Endgame” (2019) and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (2023).
