A potential TV show gives new life to a popular fan theory that Loki didn't die in 'Avengers: Infinity War'

Tom Hiddleston's Loki from the Marvel Cinematic Universe will reportedly star in a TV series for Disney's upcoming streaming service. The character died in "Avengers: Infinity War," but a fan theory has suggested that might not actually be the case.

  • Loki will reportedly star in a TV series on Disney's upcoming streaming service.

The theory suggests that there has only been one other time when he used his left hand, and that's when he faked his death in "Thor: The Dark World."

A Reddit user broke down the theory back in July, which is below:
