Tom Hiddleston's return for Time Variance Authority and an exploration of the multiverse. Hiddleston's time as the god of mischief isn't over, though, with Loki coming back for a second season.

One of the many highlights of Loki was the use of variants, who are created whenever the TVA pulled someone from the Sacred Timeline for doing something that wasn't planned. Loki has more variants than almost any other person in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Loki season 1 featuring Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), Classic Loki (Richard E. Grant), Kid Loki (Jack Veal), Boastful Loki (Deobia Oparei), and more. However, the season eventually confirmed that everyone in the TVA from Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson) to He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) were variants in some form.

With Loki season 2 on the way, it is expected that variants will once again play a pivotal part in the story, especially with Hiddleston's Loki ending in a different timeline. Even with all of the Loki variants in the show already, season one gave Hiddleston a small secondary role as President Loki. There is room for Hiddleston to have even more fun in Loki season 2 when it comes to playing variants by making him a Thor variant. While Hiddleston has enjoyed a run in the MCU that will last more than a decade as Loki, he originally auditioned to play the god of thunder (with an American accent). After not landing the role, Loki season 2 provides a unique opportunity for him and Marvel to include a meta-reference to what could've been.

Hiddleston playing a Thor variant in Loki season 2 isn't as outlandish as it might sound at first. One of the recurring parts of the show's use of variants so far has been how they can look quite different. Season 1 featured a female Loki, Lokis of different ethnicities, and the fan-favorite alligator Loki. It even included a Frog Thor (or Throg) variant Easter egg, with Chris Hemsworth providing the voice. Due to Hemsworth's busy schedule, he might not ever have time to make a cameo in Loki. But, it would be incredibly fun for Hiddleston to put on the blonde wig, wield Mjolnir, and give fans a taste of how he might have played the god of thunder.

As fun as it would be for Hiddleston to play a Thor variant, it is unknown how that could or would fit into Loki season 2's story. The new season is still in the early stages of development, but there is certainly an avenue for Hiddleston to get this chance in some capacity. Even if it is something as small as his President Loki appearance in Loki episode 5, a Hiddleston Thor would be amazing to see in Loki season 2.
