And the last thing you want to do is steal the spotlight away from a trickster sorcerer. But his arrival would distract from Loki. (Although “trolling” seems to be a good-enough reason for Marvel to undetake some narrative gambles, in the case of “Ralph Boehner.”) Even if it were for a fun Easter egg, it should also be said Marvel isn’t usually one to do cheap, meaningless cameos. Narratively, it would make little sense to include Doctor Doom in a story that has nothing to do with him. Why should Marvel start now, at the series’ denouement?

One of the most infamous castle owners in Marvel history is none other than Victor von Doom, aka Doctor Doom. (It is confirmed the movie will release after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Announced last December, the new film will be directed by Jon Watts with a potential release date in 2023. The Theory - It’s no secret that Marvel is working on a movie with the Fantastic Four. Let’s break down the two guesses fans have right now. Theories have run rampant, with at least two big ones hinting at the possible future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Naturally, Marvel fans are buzzing over the unknown keeper of the castle. In the penultimate episode of Loki, titled “Journey Into Mystery” in homage to one of Marvel’s earliest anthology comics (it debuted Thor in 1962), Tom Hiddleston and Sophia di Martino’s versions of Loki successfully enchant the cloud guardian Alioth to relinquish control of his protective barrier, revealing a mysterious castle off in the distance.īut who does the castle belong to?
