It looks like Tom Hiddleston's Loki is finally stepping down from the antagonist's throne as another, yet more powerful supervillain is rumored to be introduced in Marvel's upcoming "Thor 3: Ragnarok". The internet rumor mill predicts that Thanos will be the main reason behind Asgard's destruction in the franchise's third installment which is slated to open in cinemas in November 2017.

After discovering the possible fate of Loki in the forthcoming "Thor 3: Ragnarok", some reports are predicting one possible lead who will be responsible for the fall of Asgard. According to Youth Health Mag, Thanos could possibly be the sole reason for the destruction of Thor's home. It is noted that the mad titan was also the one who brought the evil through Ronin in last year's "Guardians of the Galaxy" which almost destroyed Xandar, the Nova Empire capital world.

As per Movie News Guide's report, Thanos could pull the same strings in "Thor 3: Ragnarok" which could take two ways to destroy the home of the Asgardians.  It is predicted that Thanos could either manage to pit Surtur, the fire giant, against the Gods in Asgard or he could do the dirty work himself, instead of hiring other entities just like what he did in the 2014 "Guardians of the Galaxy".  

Tom Hiddleston might probably have less exposure in the upcoming film with a new rumored villain taking the spotlight, but his fans do not need to worry yet because there's a bigger role in store for the British actor. In related news, Hiddleston will be playing a major character in the long-awaited "King Kong" prequel, "Kong: Skull Island". The actor, according to Franchise Herald, has confirmed his inclusion in the project, promising   "ambitious and epic and fresh" new story of King Kong.

As for his character Loki, his fans can catch him in "Thor 3: Ragnarok" which is scheduled to debut November 3, 2017.
