Loki, replaced by Tyr

Obviously, calling an Asgardian a guy is a reference to the fact that Odin doesn’t think of his race as being gods or demigods.

This being said, there is an interesting rumor circulating on the web, according to which Loki’s presence is not necessarily needed during the events of Thor: Ragnarok. His place is taken by the Norse God of War, Tyr, who is also Thor’s half-brother. While Tyr is known for defending Asgard time and time again, he is also known for rebelling against his father on several occasion.

The reason is simple – because Odin has favorited Thor more than his other children (and this sounds familiar). Allegedly, Tyr will only have one hand in the movie, since he has already fought Fenris – a god who has the ability to shapeshift into a giant wolf.

Another reason why Loki won’t be needed is that the movie will already be packing all sorts of villains and villainous characters. Thus, besides Tyr and Thanos, Thor: Ragnarok will also feature a colossal fight between Thor himself and Jormungand – also known as the Midgard Serpent (who, in the comics, is also known as one Iron Man villain Fin Fang Foom).

Apparently, the fight takes place as a part of an ancient prophecy, which says that Thor and Jormungand will died by each other’s hands.
