Tom Hiddleston is drumming up buzz for *Avengers: Doomsday* as his onscreen brother features in the film's latest teaser.

The star behind Loki spoke about the big Marvel event movie to the U.K. edition of *GQ*, calling it "monumental."

"The center of the story is absolutely brilliant, and was so surprising when I read it," he told the magazine. "It just has never been done before."

The last time we saw Hiddleston's Loki was in season 2 of his namesake Disney+ show, which concluded in November 2023 and hasn't been renewed to date. The actor spoke of where we left off with the character.

"In order to become someone different, whose story had a different ending, he had to make peace with the things he did," Hiddleston told *GQ*. "It gave him the power of authorship over his own story."

The interview arrives as Chris Hemsworth, who plays Loki's brother Thor in the MCU, headlines the second *Avengers: Doomsday* teaser — one of multiple previews first screening in theaters in front of *Avatar: Fire and Ash* before making their way online.

The footage depicts Hemsworth's thunder god reciting an ominous prayer before the battle begins. It involves the return of the actor's real-life daughter, India Rose, as Thor's adopted child Love, first seen in 2022's *Thor: Love and Thunder*.

"Father, all my life I've answered every call, to honor, duty, to war," Thor said in the footage. "But now fate has given me something I never sought: a child, a life untouched by the storm. Lend me the strength of the All Fathers so that I may fight once more, defeat one more enemy, and return home to her — and not as a warrior but as warmth, to teach her not battle but stillness, the kind I never knew."

We haven't seen Loki and Thor together on screen in a hot minute, but the two are confirmed for appearances in *Avengers: Doomsday* alongside a heaping pile of Marvel actors past and present. To name them all is a herculean effort in itself, but the short version is that primary stars from *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*, *Thunderbolts**/*The New Avengers*, *Captain America: Brave New World*, *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever*, *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings*, and the past era of *X-Men* movies are assembling — plus Channing Tatum as Gambit.

Robert Downey Jr., who retired the role of Iron Man with *Avengers: Endgame*, returns to the MCU as Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom, the new Thanos-level threat.

*Avengers: Doomsday* will open in theaters Dec. 18, 2026. The story will then continue in *Avengers: Secret Wars*, which hits Dec. 17, 2027.**
