Despite his many deaths, Loki has managed to cheat death and continues to surprise and delight audiences with his mischievous adventures.
Recap of Loki's Marvel journey
Loki's first death in the Marvel Cinematic Universe occurred in the 2011 film Thor.
After betraying his brother and attempting to conquer Asgard with the help of the Frost Giants, Loki falls into a wormhole and is presumed dead. However, it was later revealed that Loki survived and made his way to the planet of Sakaar, where he became a powerful ally to the Grandmaster and played a significant role in the events of the film Thor: Ragnarok.
Loki's second death in the Marvel Cinematic Universe occurred in the 2018 film Avengers: Infinity War. In this film, Loki and his brother Thor are attacked by Thanos and his forces, who are seeking the Tesseract, a powerful artifact that contains the Space Stone.
Despite initially attempting to bargain with Thanos, Loki ultimately chose to attack him with a knife in a bid to protect his brother. Thanos responded by killing Loki, snapping his neck and leaving him dead on the ground.
Although many fans were initially devastated by Loki's death, it was later revealed that the character would be returning to his own Disney+ series, Loki, which premiered in June 2021.
In this series, Loki is shown to be alive and well, having escaped his death in Avengers: Infinity War by using the Tesseract to travel through time and space.
In the Disney+ series Loki, the titular character dies multiple times, each in different ways. In the first episode, Loki is apprehended by the Time Variance Authority (TVA), a group tasked with monitoring the timeline and maintaining order.
After attempting to escape, Loki is caught by the TVA and subsequently "reset", effectively killing him and erasing his existence from the timeline.
