Thor: Ragnarok - 10 Questions None Of The Trailers Have Answered

3. Whose Side Is Loki Actually On?

Tom Hiddleston's Loki looks like Thor: Ragnarok's wildcard as nobody knows what to expect from the god of mischief. If the movie's trailers are any indication, he'll be switching sides more times than that friend you clobber on FIFA every time.

No doubt Loki was looking out only for number one when he wormed his way onto the Asgard throne, but Ragnarok's teaser footage seemingly shows him in cahoots with The Grandmaster, only to join Team Thor later in the film.

Was his alliance with The Grandmaster all a ruse, or did Jeff Goldblum's character stab him in the back? And what about his alliance with his adoptive brother? Is that motivated by anything beyond self-preservation?

Loki is such an unpredictable character that it wouldn't even be surprising to see him end up in league with Hela, if he felt there was something to gain from that.

That said, there are hints his character arc is redemptive this time, which makes sense as it would pave the way for him to battle alongside The Avengers in Infinity War.
