Loki Has The Tesseract
The trailer next lets rip with a foreboding voiceover from Thanos, but let’s hold off on that for a moment to talk about a brief scene that occurs during this speech. At one point, we see a pair of feet walk through a swathe of corpses. It’s then revealed that it’s Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, and he’s presenting the Tesseract to an unseen visitor.
This looks like another scene that follows on directly from the Thor: Ragnarok post-credits stinger. Notice Loki’s spaceship-like surroundings here. Also, notice the old-fashioned clothes of the corpses around him. It’s likely that he’s standing in the ruins of the Asgardian refugee ship after Thanos has attacked it. If you cast your mind back to Ragnarok, you might also remember that the God of Mischief appeared to snatch the Tesseract from Odin’s vaults. For all intents and purposes, it looks like he’s sacrificed his own people to ally himself with the Mad Titan once again.
Of course, appearances can be deceiving – especially when Loki’s involved. But it looks like his apparent switch to the good side in Ragnarok was just another ploy and he’s still as bad to the bone as ever.
