10 Huge MCU Casting Rumours For Marvel's Phase 4
1. Sophia Di Martino As Lady Loki
Marvel Studios has given many actors their big break, including a once little-known Tom Hiddleston. However, it now appears as if that will be the case for Sophia Di Martino (who you may have seen in Casualty, Friday Night Dinner, and Into the Badlands) as the British actress has landed a leading role in the Loki TV show coming to Disney+ early next year.
Rumours have been swirling for months that she'll play either Lady Loki or Enchantress in the series, and while recent set photos dropped some big hints that Di Martino is indeed playing a female version of the God of Mischief, there's no way of saying for sure.
With so much of Phase 4 about passing the mantle (The Falcon becoming Captain America, Jane Foster transforming into The Mighty Thor, etc.), the MCU getting a brand new Loki just makes sense, and this actress making the role her own in Hiddleston's place would be a cool way for the character to live on, albeit with a very different outlook and attitude.
The future of the MCU is female, and it's fitting that another relative unknown is following in Hiddleston's footsteps by possibly playing this villainous Asgardian!
