Despite rumbling rumours that he didn't know whether he'd ever play Loki again, and some faint suggestions that he wasn't even involved in Ragnarok, Marvel have confirmed that Loki will return to make mischief.

It was inevitable, and while Hiddleston has been very clear on his need to be challenged and for variation in his performances (even as the same character) the apparent gamesmanship is up and Loki will presumably play a big part on the villainous side.

Anthony Hopkins was even less certain: Odin's fate at the end of The Dark World was something of a mystery since Loki replaced him. It was half hinted that he was no more, but even if he's officially dead by his adoptive son's hand, the imposter Odin presumably has to come back for the start of Ragnarok to be discovered.
