How Loki went from the God of Mischief to the MCU’s MVP

Loki.

If there is one thing about the Marvel Cinematic Universe we can all agree on, it’s that it’s great at casting its cavalcade of characters. From Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark to Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova to Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, the superhero powerhouse continues to nail its casting. However, among Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Josh Brolin (Thanos), and Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), few are as beloved as Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. 

Starting out as a thorn in Odin’s side for 2011’s Thor, Loki emerged as an unlikely villain of The Avengers and earned his own redemption arc across the likes of Thor: Ragnarok. By the time we got to his tragic demise in Avengers: Infinity War, we weren’t ready to say goodbye to the reformed God of Mischief. Thankfully, we didn’t have to, with the Loki solo series giving him an even grander adventure.
