Visit Medexpress.co.com.ukuk slash podcast to get started today. Welcome back to new rock stars. I'm Eric Voss. And now that I have seen the trailer for Avengers Doomsday, I can tell you that it really does seem that Loki is going to be a very important character to this story. And it also has to do with the fact that Deadpool did have that very weird moment with Thor in Deadpool and Wolverine where he was kind of taking Loki's place, leading us to wonder, why was Thor crying? That moment was recreating a very critical moment in this movie that we're going to talk about today, 2013's Thor the Dark World, a movie that had a very important very important Loki arc that I think will come back in Avengers Doomsday. Why do I think that? Well, because one of the screenwriters who worked on Thor the Dark World is co-writing the screenplay for Avengers Doomsday, and that dude seems very obsessed with what happens with Thor of the Dark World, based on the fact that a big chunk of Avengers Endgame revisits the events of that movie.
