10 Shocking (But Believable) Theories About Marvel's Phase 3

6. Loki Will Reveal A Secret Child - Thor: Ragnarok

Of all the wild and crazy things to happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this... this is just totally and utterly out there as far as any other theories are concerned; the kind that has you scratching your head, wondering: "Who the hell came up with that idea?" Wacky as it is, however, there's no reason why it couldn't turn out that everybody's favourite anti-hero Loki (AKA the God of Mischief) has as a secret child tucked away somewhere. The character did have a child of sorts in the comics, after all: Asgardian Goddess of Death Hela. That's not to say that Loki will end up having the same child in the MCU, because the comics and the movies are two different beasts, aren't they? That said, Loki harbouring a secret kid could make for an interesting plot twist; if the mother of said child broke his heart (and died, perhaps), you've got some serious dramatic potential that goes a long way to explaining why Loki acts the way that he does (aside from what we know). Whilst some theorists have claimed that Darcy Lewis could turn out to be Loki's daughter, that seems a little too farfetched. But Loki having a child? Very possible.
