Tom Hiddleston’s Loki was given a means to be resurrected, thanks toย Avengers: Endgame. Now fans want to see 2012 Loki make a grand return inย Thor 4.ย

Thor’s roster of supporting characters has taken a serious beating in the final installments of Phase 3 – so Loki isn’t the only resurrection fans are hoping for inย Thor 4!ย
…And Beta Ray Bill
Beta Ray Bill should be in Thor 4.
