Yahoo News Richard E. Grant teases MCU return as Classic Loki
Richard E. Grant has revealed whether he'd return to play Loki in the MCU.
The legendary actor previously appeared in the Disney+ streaming series Loki as the classic variant of the villain, wearing the iconic horned helmet from Norse mythology.
His cameo was part of a madcap twist where Tom Hiddleston's Loki met variant versions of himself outside of the time-stream, including a child Loki and even an alligator Loki.
Classic Loki ultimately sacrificed himself to the cosmic entity Alioth to save Hiddleston's Loki and other variants, allowing them to escape through a Timedoor.

While it may appear Classic Loki has been killed off, anything is possible in the Marvel Multiverse so Grant has told Metro he'd return "in a heartbeat".
"The only caveat that I had about Loki was that I never got to wear a muscle suit, which I thought I would, because the character has muscles, big shoulders," he added.
"'They absolutely refused. And I said, 'But I’ve got no muscles, born without any'."
The actor revealed a compromise was worked out with producers that he'd wear a cape in most scenes "to cover up the fact that [he's] got no muscles".
Loki showrunner Kevin Wright previously suggested that a third season was unlikely, though a spin-off may be of interest.
"For two seasons, I've loved working with this team… I would love to keep telling those stories with them, in this world," Wright told TVLine.
"I don't think any of us would ever want to rush into a season 3 if there's not a good story to tell. But I think this team could go off and tell other stories.
"Maybe it's not Loki season 3. Maybe there's something we can continue to do at the TVA, and it's like our Better Call Saul to Loki's Breaking Bad. That would be cool, to me."
Loki season 1 and season 2 is streaming on Disney+.
