On the Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday Official Podcast, Vellani expressed enthusiasm for Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal.

“And you know, as long as Tom Hiddleston’s playing Loki, I’m always going to be for it. So I think Loki’s is going to be really interesting in Doomsday. I have no idea what they’re going to be doing or dooming,” she added. Her remarks fuel speculation about Loki’s multiversal involvement

Loki’s connection to the multiverse may be crucial, especially if one rumored location from his own series becomes the battlefield for Marvel’s next major war.

Could the void become a major part of Avengers: Doomsday?

A report attributed to insider Daniel Richtman has claimed that the Void could play a significant role in Avengers: Doomsday. The realm was introduced in Loki as a dumping ground for realities and individuals pruned by the TVA, creating one of the MCU’s strangest corners of existence.

Because it contains remnants of destroyed realities, some fans have speculated that the location could become connected to Battleworld, the patchwork world associated with Marvel’s Secret Wars storyline. That remains speculation, with Marvel yet to confirm such a development.What is confirmed is that Avengers: Doomsday will continue Marvel’s multiverse storyline, with Robert Downey Jr. portraying Doctor Doom and Tom Hiddleston returning as Loki.

The first trailer has already shown Loki, making his involvement more than a fan theory. That combination makes Vellani’s prediction particularly interesting. Loki now sits at the heart of Marvel’s branching realities, while Doom appears determined to control the future of those worlds. Exactly how those two forces collide remains one of the film’s biggest mysteries.
