Avengers Infinity War didn’t beat around the bush, seeing both Heimdall and Loki die at the hands of Thanos and his Black Order.
However this isn’t the first time the god of mischief had faked his own death, having done so in Thor: The Dark World.
While Thanos said there would be no resurrections this time, some fans are adamant Loki isn’t dead.
Now a new theory has caught the eye of the Marvel faithful on Reddit and it’s really quite intriguing.
Reddit user radkarth writes: “I’m not sure if anyone else has posted this already, but this is one of the most convincing theories I’ve found surrounding Loki’s ‘death’.
“Loki is right handed. If you look, in movies since the Thor 1 to Avengers 1 to Ragnarok, he wields with his right hand.
“He holds weapons with his right and the sceptre in Avengers with his right.
“There are two occasions he uses his left hand (that I’ve found).”
The theorist continued: “One, when he fakes his own death in Dark World. “You can find him holding the dagger with his left hand during the entire scene. Two, when he stabs Thanos [in Avengers Infinity War].
“So, Loki’s illusion uses his left hand because he’s a mirrored version?
“The Loki that was killed in the beginning of Infinity War was an illusion and he’s still out there, maybe disguised or just in hiding.”
In an interview with the Toronto Sun Feige said: “I would say that almost all of them are permanent changes. We pull examples from comics all the time and I would say in the comics sometimes characters come back to life the next day, and sometimes characters that they swore would never come back — Bucky Barnes will never come back to life — come back and it’s awesome like in the Winter Soldier.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen in five years or 10 years, but in terms of the more immediate future that we’re building and creating now, they will be finite.”
Avengers 4 is released in UK cinemas on April 26, 2019.
