Hold onto your seats, Marvel fans, because the future of the MCU just got a whole lot more intriguing—and a little heartbreaking. While Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is confirmed to return in Avengers: Doomsday, one of his beloved co-stars from Loki Season 2 has revealed they’re still in the dark about their involvement. Yes, you read that right. Ke Huy Quan, the actor behind the fan-favorite character Ouroboros (O.B.), recently shared that he hasn’t been asked to reprise his role—at least not yet. But here’s where it gets controversial: With Avengers: Doomsday already wrapped up filming, could this mean O.B. is officially out of the picture? Or is there a chance he’ll sneak in during reshoots? Let’s dive in.
The Loki series has been a game-changer for the MCU, laying the groundwork for alternate realities, timelines, and the Multiverse Saga. Season 2 left us with Loki at the heart of the recreated Multiverse, essentially acting as its power source. But it also set the stage for Kang’s emergence—a direction Marvel Studios now seems to be pivoting away from. And this is the part most people miss: With so many characters and storylines already packed into Avengers: Doomsday, some fan-favorite characters might get left behind. O.B., for instance, appears to be one of them.
In a recent interview with The Direct, Ke Huy Quan was asked about his potential return to the MCU blockbuster. His response? “I would tell you yes if I knew, but I don’t know,” he said candidly. “I’m really happy Loki is in it and back. Fingers crossed we get to see Ouroboros more in future projects. But for Doomsday, no, not yet.” It’s a bittersweet update for fans who adored O.B.’s quirky genius and his dynamic with Mobius. Speaking of Mobius, his story’s continuation in Doomsday also seems unlikely, given the film’s already crowded roster.
Here’s the kicker: Deadpool & Wolverine recently showcased the Time Variance Authority (TVA) but only brought back one familiar face from Loki—Wunmi Mosaku’s B-15. Could Avengers: Doomsday follow suit, leaving O.B. and other TVA agents on the sidelines? It’s a bold move if true, but one that raises questions about the TVA’s role in the larger Multiverse Saga. After all, with Loki Season 1 head writer Michael Waldron contributing to Doomsday, you’d think the show’s impact would be front and center. But is it?
Now, let’s talk controversy. Is Marvel making a mistake by potentially sidelining characters like O.B. and Mobius, or is this a necessary sacrifice to keep the story focused? And what does this mean for the future of the TVA in the MCU? Share your thoughts in the comments—we want to hear from you!
As for Avengers: Doomsday, the film is shaping up to be a star-studded affair. Officially confirmed cast members include Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Tom Hiddleston, and Robert Downey Jr., among others. Newcomers like Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, and Florence Pugh will make their Avengers franchise debuts, while The Fantastic Four: First Steps stars Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby are also set to appear. Rumors are swirling about appearances from Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, and even Tobey Maguire, though nothing’s confirmed yet.
Directed by the Russo Brothers and written by Stephen McFeely (with Waldron’s assistance), Avengers: Doomsday is slated for release on December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars following on December 17, 2027. It’s a bold new era for the MCU, but one that leaves us wondering: Who will make the cut, and who will be left behind? Only time will tell. What’s your take? Are you disappointed about O.B.’s potential absence, or do you think Marvel’s making the right call? Let the debate begin!
