A new video from the set of the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday suggests that Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, may make an appearance in the movie. The footage, shared by Hemsworth’s stunt double Bobby Holland, showcases crew members on set, but the notable aspect is the backdrop that appears to be the temporal loom of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) from the Disney+ series Loki.
The TVA has already played a significant role in both Loki and the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, making its inclusion in Doomsday a logical progression. Given the multiversal themes associated with the TVA, there is speculation that Doctor Doom could utilize this setting to connect different universes within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
