Tom Hiddleston sets the record straight about whether he is done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe following his initial comments after the Loki season 2 finale. Since the MCU's Phase 1, Loki has been one of the biggest players in the franchise, having gone from big bad to a complex hero in his own right. However, the God of Mischief faced his biggest ending yet in the Loki season 2 finale as Hiddleston's character became the God of Stories after making an unforgettable sacrifice for the sake of the timeline.
The Loki season 2 ending left things very ambiguous for Hiddleston's MCU future, and the question remains whether that was the last of his character. While Hiddleston seemingly indicated this is the end for him in the MCU, the actor has now clarified in an interview with CinemaBlend what he actually meant regarding his involvement with the franchise after the Loki season 2 finale, saying:

Well, yes, I suppose what I meant… Perhaps what I should clarify is that I feel very satisfied with the finale of Season 2, because it seems to contain echoes and resonances of the entire journey. It's almost like a piece of music, where in that last episode, you hear strains of, you know, whether it's in lines of dialogue, we are circling the same themes that I've always circled with Loki. But he's a character who is engaged with ideas of belonging, ideas of identity, ideas of purpose. That's who he was at the very foot at the beginning in the first Thor film, wondering where he belonged, which family he belonged to, wondering what his role was in all of this. Thor was destined to be king of Asgard. And who am I? Who is Loki? And I've been asking that question the whole way. Like, who does Loki think he is? Who's he think he is, and who is he really? And then through the series, in Season 1 and Season 2, I think the confrontation with Mobius and the mirror of Sylvie is another excavation, we go deeper into those ideas.
