Loki: 10 Insane Fan Theories That Could Come True
3. Loki Is The Rat
One theme that is present throughout many of these fan theories is Loki going back to important moments in the MCU timeline and making sure they happen as they are supposed to. He could go back to the Battle of New York and make sure the Avengers win, but maybe the TVA will send him back to his original timeline to ensure Thanos' defeat.
Doctor Strange foresaw over 14 million different scenarios in which the Avengers battled Thanos, and they won just one. Those are quite ridiculous odds, and chances are that it needed more than just the Sorcerer Supreme to make sure it happened. While he did give up the Time Stone to ensure Tony lived, he couldn't control what anyone did while he was snapped away. This could be where the TVA and Loki step in.
Arguably the most unlikely thing in the build up to the Avengers' victory over Thanos was the rat than ran over the controls in Scott Lang's van to release him from the Quantum Realm, but what if this was no accident?
Had Scott stayed trapped inside his van, the Avengers would never have known about the Quantum Realm, and they never would have gone back in time to save the universe. What if Mobius sends Loki to this exact point in time, and utilises his shape-shifting ability to turn into a rat and run over the controls, releasing Scott and kick-starting the entire time heist idea?
