Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Major Rumours You Need To See
7. Loki Plays A Key Part
Rumour
Despite the very real feeling that Loki's arc would end better with his death in the climax of Thor: Ragnarok, a leaked cast-list suggests that the God Of Mischief will appear, seemingly corroborating early suggestions that he might be working as a double agent on Thanos' side, while working against him.

It would still be better to see Loki die for his sins and in penance at the end of Ragnarok, but it's understandable that Marvel would want one of their most popular characters to play a part in their biggest film to date.
It's the specifics that really need to be ironed out. Sure, it's believable that Loki would take Mephisto's role from the comics and work as Thanos' advisor (only to turn on him), but he's already flipped allegiance once. Fool us once, shame on him, fool us twice, shame on us (or Marvel, actually).
Saying that, he's the God Of Mischief, and never being what he seems is about as mischievous as he could be.
