This means he’s just been “Hulk Smashed” and hasn’t had any of the character development from the subsequent Thor films. That’s…kind of a bummer for anyone hoping Loki would be a good guy.
The full Marvel slate includes new films — Black Widow, The Eternals, Shang-Chi: The Legend of The Ten RingsOpens in a new tab, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of MadnessOpens in a new tab, Thor: Love and ThunderOpens in a new tab, and Blade– as well as new Disney+ streaming series: The Falcon and the Winter SoldierOpens in a new tab, WandaVisionOpens in a new tab, LokiOpens in a new tab, What If…?, and Hawkeye.
