vs. Hela

Again, we can blame Loki for Hela’s escape. However, given her plans (unknown, but they certainly involve the destroying Asgard), the trickster isn’t an ally. After all, Loki wants to rule Asgard, not have it destroyed. As the teaser reveals, the brothers will face the Goddess of death from the very beginning.

Loki and Thor are together when Mjolnir is destroyed, and both of them are quickly engulfed in Mjolnir’s explosion.

This makes it even more interesting, because we can also assume that Loki will have to fight alongside Hulk at some point during the movie. Remember how their previous encounter ended?

Since Loki is a schemer, we’re not surprised to see him at Grandmaster’s side (but still at a distance) when Thor prepares to battle Hulk. Maybe his plan is for Grandmaster to capture the God of Thunder in order to free the Jade Giant and thus gain a powerful ally.

Especially when this could also bring Valkyrie over to their side.

Speaking of which…
