A new and shocking ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘ rumor is circulating on the internet, suggesting that Loki‘s MCU adventure might be coming to an end in style.
According to the report, Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom slays Loki off-screen, ripping out his heart, ending one of Marvel’s most popular characters unexpectedly.
Loki’s MCU Story Could End In The Darkest Way Yet
Following the events of ‘Loki’ Season 2, Loki became the God of Stories, giving up his freedom to keep the multiverse intact. Rather than pursue power for himself, he took on an eternal duty that sustained many timelines. It was considered one of the best redemption arcs in the MCU.

Now, as reported by Mytimetoshine, Doctor Doom somehow manages to reach Loki and kills him by ripping out his heart. What is even more surprising is that this occurs off-screen and not during the big battle.
If it’s true, it would make Doom an overwhelming threat right off the bat before the film has really started. Reactions from fans have been mixed. Some think that it would make ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ even more important, while others feel that Loki is too important to die off-screen after years of development.
Loki Was Previously Rumoured To Have A Huge Role In ‘Doomsday’
The MCU is already in a frenzy of anticipation for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ with RDJ returning as Victor Von Doom. There have been many rumors about the film, including some surprising cameo appearances and significant character deaths.

What makes this latest rumor even more surprising is that previous reports painted a very different picture for Loki’s future in ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘. Earlier insider scoops suggested that the God of Stories would play a significant role in the film, with his position at the center of the multiverse making him one of the saga’s most important characters.
However, until Marvel officially reveals story details, all leaks should be taken with a grain of salt. In the past, insiders have been right on some matters, but not all reported scoops make it to the final cut. For now, Loki’s destiny is unknown.
So, fans can rest easy as the God of Stories could still have a pivotal role in the Multiverse Saga. However, if it’s true, then Doctor Doom’s arrival could be one of the darkest and heart-wrenching moments the MCU has ever seen.
