Since their introduction in 2011's Thor, the dynamic between Thor and Loki has been a defining feature of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). While they have shared some moments of unabashed camaraderie, they've also faced each other as enemies. The emotional crescendo came when Loki was killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War.

However, that doesn't mean a reunion for these brothers can't still happen in the MCU's future. The currently-running series' protagonist's character development and the executive producer's hints suggest the possibility of the brothers' long-anticipated reunion. Loki's character evolution has been marked by two redemption arcs.

He initially redeemed himself by fighting alongside Thor and saving Asgard in Thor: Ragnarok but his death came swiftly. The character's return in Avengers: Endgame, along with his solo series on Disney+, propelled him through another redemption arc. This character growth sets the stage for a meaningful reunion with Thor.


Do Loki and Thor meet in Loki season 2?

Kevin Wright, the executive producer of Loki season two, expressed hope for a reunion in the MCU. He indicated that the protagonist's character journey and emotional development are steering him toward this reunion. Wright's comments, made to ScreenRant, suggest a positive outlook for the brothers' relationship and hint at the central goal of their storytelling.

"I think there will hopefully, and I can't say this too much without spoiling where this goes, but I think there is a great piece within both those characters where they are now in the MCU. And there's something that maybe that would allow them to be closer than they've ever been," he told the publication.

Why do fans want a reunion?

The God of Mischief's profound character transformation and newfound heroic purpose are central to his story. However, one element is missing from his redemption arc: a reunion with his brother, Thor. The latter, who lost his brother in Infinity War, needs this reunion to bring emotional closure to their complex and layered relationship.

With Loki season 2 now running, there's an opportunity for a Thor cameo. His appearance could help bridge the gap between the solo series and the main MCU timeline.

Additionally, rumors of Thor 5 being in development offer another potential avenue for their reunion. A realistic setting for a reunion could be the New Avengers team in Phase 6's Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

This iteration could include The God of Mischief due to his extensive knowledge of the MCU's multiverse. Alternatively, Avengers: Secret Wars could unite the brothers, as it's expected to feature cameos from various MCU actors.

The relationship between them is one of the most compelling dynamics in the MCU. Their rivalry showcases the depths of sibling relationships. While their quests for power often pitted them against each other, their journeys have ultimately driven each other to become better individuals.


Final thoughts

A reunion between the trickster god and Thor holds immense narrative and emotional significance. As the MCU continues to explore their paths, reuniting the brothers could be the logical conclusion to their intertwined stories. Their relationship's complexities, transformations, and deep-seated bond have made them fan-favorite characters.

Whether they meet again in Loki, Thor 5, or another MCU installment, the reunion of these iconic brothers is a momentous event that fans eagerly anticipate.
